Apologies for continuing the tangent. My 2 cents. Surely the scaremongering and doom and gloom is needed to galvanise people in changing their habits now, not later. If it wasn't for the "hysteria" around plastic waste, pumping out endless messages to the public of it ruining the planet and the...

Loved the Rivian after watching the prototype being used in the Long Way Up, and it's a shame that the manufacturing plant they had planned to build in Bristol was canned. One can't help but think this may have accelerated the release in Europe/UK. I have read that Rivian aren't in great shape...

It's also a reminder in ensuring you have proper road side assistance that includes home assist. It's been said many times in this forum before the standard Tesla one that comes with the car isn't fit for purpose. For an extra £40~ a year for cover within the UK (I use Smartrescue as recommended...

Ask your Sales Advisor? When I ordered my '22 Model 3, after I placed my order and received a delivery date I asked my one (who assisted me with the test drive and provided me with his email address) whether it would be coming with double glazed front windows and the new AMD processor, and he...

And kudos to them for supporting members of the community that have asked for it. Or to those fighting for what is right. Makes a refreshing change from all the bickering over no stalks, lack of USS, etc. nice to see people coming together rather than being divided - as it is commonly witnessed...

I used Tunnelbear to VPN into Nigeria. Their free plan has up to 2GB of bandwidth, so plenty to to do the sign up process with. They do not ask for card details either when using their free plan. When it came to signing up to Tidal for the second time I used a different email account and my Wise...

Interesting, without derailing the thread I thought they had cracked down on this. Had a Tidal Hifi plus family account (Argentine) for less than £1 a month due to their currency and economy crashing for nearly two years! Got a few warning emails late 2023, ignored them and then they finally...

It won’t be the Juniper (that’s more early 2025) but highly like the minor refresh that is current available in China, e.g. new wheels and ambient lighting.

Rock proof but throws a baseball at it

Without derailing this thread, is this a sign that the Model Y minor update (not Juniper) that we've seen in China is going to hit the UK shores soon in the new year?

Sold to @Garry TheBiz

They don't earn commission.

Anyone else notice in the 2024 manual for Highland that there is no mention of a front bumper cam at all, unless it'll become a last minute addition?

I presume he's referring to this

They've placed a banner on the UK website and are inviting people to sign up for updates, so it may not to be too far off (perhaps inline with Australia's Jan-Mar 2024 estimate?)

Slightly off topic, but it's quite a sad reflection of society if people are having to put bollards on their driveways to prevent theft.

Yup, seems to be completely crippled since 2020.20.x update. I’ll try standing by the drivers door, but before didn’t have to do that and could stand on the passenger side to move it…

Was reading an oldish article about the Fisker Pear the other day, and thought this comment from the CFO stood out, Feels like they've taken inspiration from Tesla. As for the Pear itself, looks like it could be another game changer, presumingly the larger battery variant offering 300 miles of...

Maybe in a couple of years they'll get around to updating the Tidal app too, to at least have a shuffle button!

Coincidentally I witnessed the same thing yesterday evening at Charlotte Street Car Park in Bath where there are 3x Geniepoint 50kW chargers. I parked up adjacent to another Tesla that was charging, leaving one charger spare. Owner of said Tesla returned a few minutes after I had settled in...

Looks like Ovo have just entered the solar panel installation game Home Solar Panels | Solar Panel Installation | OVO Energy

Panorama are doing a piece about EV cars broadcasting tonight BBC One - Panorama, Electric Cars: Is It Time to Buy?

The recently announced Volvo EX30 looks rather tasty as a compact SUV. Their mid range model coming in at £38,545 with 298 miles WLPT range, 0-62 in 5.3 seconds. While their cheapest model comes in at £33,795 with 213 miles. https://www.volvocars.com/uk/cars/ex30-electric/ Interior looks...

Looked at them a while back when renewing, and was about to go with them until when checking out on their website, one of their requirements is that you have to have a Thatchcam tracker and subscription. Also looking at some reviews, their online chat only system isn't the best... I ended up...

Telefónica, so O2.

Careful what you wish for with Tesla Insurance. Your premiums are linked to a safety score, which is derived from the driving data they collect on you. According to this Reddit thread you are penalised for driving after 10pm. Also just hope you don't experience any phantom breaking which would...

Of course, but in my case it isn’t as per the V5C 🥲

That’s your issue right there, the Registered Keeper being a company rather than an individual. I’m in a similar position and found that last year Admiral was the only one that would insure me and my model 3 red for a semi reasonable price of £860, whereas Aviva the only other one, wanted to...

Ah I naively paid this a week ago when I had the car serviced the other week at the Bristol Tesla Service centre. Good to know about the F1 recommendation, however, some of the Google reviews leave me with a little fear!

Some interesting UI changes beyond the release notes: Left scroll wheel configurable options: Confirmed Zoom is available on Ryzen MCU: Nearby locations of interest is neat:

Fell in love with Rivian after watching Long Way Up, where they travelled from the tip of South America to North America on electric Harley Davidsons, and their support/film crew were all driving Rivians that were clearly just prototypes. I believe they were planning to build a manufacturing...

Yup, noticed since 2023.6.x it's become overly sensitive on what you have highlighted above. It was a little embarrassing when driving a couple of friends over the weekend because of it - had to assure them I'm not a bad/reckless driver!

While in Norwich for Easter, on April 9th Easter Sunday I submitted a service request for a general service (at the 1 year mark but wanted some peace of mind as will be doing a lot of mileage this year), wheel alignment (car drifts to the right) and potentially a new passenger side rear wheel...

Most favourite to date is Wyboston. 10 V3 chargers and a lovely lakeside hotel/golf course next to it. Charge up, grab yourself a drink and sit by the lake.

In a similar vein, guessing a tire replacement is due?

I'm in a similar/same position when it came to insuring my Tesla last year and renewing it this year. It's a company car and on the V5 certificate it states the limited company name as the registered keeper. I had trouble last year doing it as not many insurance companies insured cars that had a...

Like a few posters above I went for the Spigen EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y as well. The reason for not going for the matte version was because I read a handful of reviews saying that the matte version makes the text a little blurry/less sharp compared to...

Always wanted a Honda E as a secondary EV since test driving it back in 2021, but when you put it alongside Fiat, Renault and Peugeot's offerings, it just doesn't make much financial sense. Mind you the just announced VW ID2 looks rather tasty. Wonder if the €25,000 will translate to £25,000.

Using potatoes and lemons weren't we.

Time of the year for me too. I paid £834 last year with Admiral (late 30s, parking on street with 8 years NCB) due to the Registered Keeper being a company and not a person. To bring the quotes down I added my elderly mother and her partner to the policy. Over the weekend I checked on...

Yeah cash withdrawals. Monzo has a limit over a 30 day period (rather than daily) and Revolut charge to withdraw if you have a free account. Appreciate all that have been mentioned meets the OPs original ask, but in case they wanted further flexibility when abroad, then Starling and Chase can...

Monzo has a spending cap though, £200 over 30 days, while with Revolut there are still fees for standard (free) accounts. I'd go with Chase or Starling personally, no withdrawal limits (apart from your usual daily ATM one that all UK banks have) and no monthly account fees.

Slow news day at the BBC yesterday 'Elon Musk has made me embarrassed to drive my Tesla now' but thought it was relevant to this thread as reading it.

Out of interest what screen wash do people recommend? I notice some people recommend BMW's concentrated one but I'd rather go for the ready mixed one if possible due to laziness. Others have mentioned Tesco/Aldi/Lidi ones?

Or take out excess insurance from someone like reducemyexcess.co.uk best £40 you'll ever spend. Had to use it once when I dinged a Mercedes rental and was all easily sorted.

Didn't bother with 2022.40 and jumped to 2022.44.2 from 2022.36.x. As others have reported, new language support showing in app release notes, but in car release notes it has the Sentry Mode improvements listed. And for those curious on what the Sentry mode options look like: Confirmed...

If you have a reserved parking spot and/or charging at work you’ll be absolutely fine. Nothing to worry about. The reason why I’ve become a little fraught over the last 8 months is because up until recently 2 out of the 4 GeniePoint 50 kW chargers were broken and one of the ones that was...

You’ll be fine. I’ve had my M3 RWD LFP since March this year. I live in a terrace house in Bath and have to deal with on street parking and have no reserved spaces! I use one of the four nearby local GeniePoint chargers that are 50kW scattered around (closest is 5 minutes away). My wife’s...
