I’m convinced that with my last ICE car the dealer was deliberately “thick” as despite it only really having one fault, they had to diagnose it every time, then order the parts, then arrange to fit it. Reason - it was under warranty and this process maximised the amount they could charge the...

Yes, no issues at all. Took about 15 mins start to finish (and another minute to get Google to translate the e-mail ;-) )

Eh, they already got that on the ‘Cybertruck’, so I doubt the US see this as a problem. The fact the ‘Cybertruck’ is unlikely to ever be seen outside the US isn’t relevant (?).

I suspect most US drivers don’t even know what a roundabout (or ‘traffic circle’) is …

My “bill” arrived last month. I’ve never paid any “tax” so quickly! 😊

Having been to the ombudsman don’t hold your breath. Managed to get British Gas to admit in writing that they are technically incompetent, but beyond that a chocolate teapot would have been more useful. Changed to Octopus and they fixed the issue without even being made aware of it. As you...

They may only be “minor fixes” to the developers, but I wish they’d admit what they are and let the users decide whether they’re minor or not. Too easy to hide behind a generous definition of ‘minor’.

One of the main road near me is being resurfaced at the moment. It improved dramatically when they removed the old surface (eliminating all the potholes). Now the new surface is going down and it’s anything but flat. Why, in the days of laser levels, GPS, computing and sensors on anything...

Looks like adaptive high beams might finally arrive in the next update (24.2). But before anyone gets excited, only for M3 Highland :-(

And it‘s yet another site in Bristol when there’s a gaping hole to the North in Gloucestershire / Worcestershire / Cotswolds.

In related reports: “Yet another village mounts half-hearted search for its BMW driving idiot.”

Given the document states Severn View Services are located at junction one of THE M4, it could take them quite a while just to find the entrance …

Unfortunately I think the first quote will become a significant part of your problem. I was moved onto BG when my supplier went bust and spent four months arguing to get a smart meter, then nine months trying to get them to make the in-house display work properly (including a judgement against...

There was a lady at Abington services this afternoon managing the “queue”. Miserable weather and probably a fairly miserable job - particularly when people in the queue weren’t in their vehicles and it was their “slot”. Thankfully we didn’t need to charge and had just stopped for the loos.

Same here. Never had a problem with Octopus charging until the last two nights. It started some charge periods, but not others, end result was it took two nights to do what it should have done in one. Not normally a problem, but I need to get to 100% on Saturday morning for a long drive, and...

Last week my windscreen was hit by a stone that left a mark. Contacted Autoglass to get it repaired, but there was some confusion They were convinced I had a model Y, I was even more certain it’s a model 3. Turns out I transposed two letters of the registration on the contact from, so instead...

Perhaps it’s a ‘feature’ to justify a ‘new’ release, behind which they can hide a bunch of undeclared bug fixes (and probably some more bugs ☹️)

I certainly think you’d have a slightly better chance of getting a useful reply if you explained why you were asking and detailed the problems you’re having, rather than just asking for lots of data. But even then I’d be surprised if you got anything close to useful data.

I’ve no idea if there is or not, but is there any time limit on claiming something was miss sold? i.e. You’ve had it six years and didn’t complain, so you accepted it for what it is, however bad that may be, so you can‘t claim anything back?

Is it? Any idea where and when?

Yes, because they wouldn’t have raised my hopes before failing to deliver.

I noticed yesterday that my near side headlight was flickering on and off, so raised my first ever service ticket. Got a response this afternoon that a mobile technician would visit and booked a slot on Monday morning. All good so far and quite impressed. Ten minutes later I got a message...

Agree, when I joined I thought they were a breath of fresh air, but they still can’t find my electric smart meter in the system, or show any sign of being concerned about it. Lots of platitudes and reassuring words, but zero in the way of actual progress. Still not nearly as bad as British...

Just followed the link to the Tesla store for the TPMS (out of curiosity, no need to get them), and discovered I’ve been getting it all wrong. There was me thinking my M3 had black trim, but no, it’s ‘chrome-delete’. Well I never, what marketing genius came up with that one? Just seen the...

If you’re picking the car up in Fort William there will probably be local chemists in the town who stock either. Alternatively go to the Glen Nevis campsite or visitor centre (RW3G+V9G Achintee, Fort William) a few miles to the south east. I’m pretty sure they’ll have a plethora of midge stuff...

If you can find any, get some ‘Avon Skin So Soft’ Original Dry Oil Spray. It is the only thing known to keep the infamous west coast midge at bay. You may have never met these little beasties, but on an overcast damp day on the West coast between July and October, step out of the car to admire...

Yes, will be down in September 😉. Thankfully destination has some private chargers and I should be able to get there without a charge (but will probably stop in Exeter).

I can remember my Dad getting the AA to provide a printed set of route instructions when we drove from Perthshire to the South of England. They included distances between instructions and total trip distance. Worked well most of the time, but in a forewarning of the Tesla SatNav they got the...

“But unless you’re an Electrical Engineer”. Well some of us are. If he’s at a Supercharger that’s giving him 9 Amps at 107 Volts he’s going to be there a lot longer than 12 minutes ! (Unless he really only wants to add 0.193 kWh).

If you’re not venturing too far from the Central Belt then you’re missing all the best bits of Scotland ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My update arrived at 23:54 last night. Surprising, not installed until this morning 🥱, but all looks good so far.

Good luck with that - RPIs are sold out everywhere due to component shortages. Might be sorted in the autumn ☹️

I thought the main battery was covered for 8 years / 150K anyway, so this quote wouldn’t need to (doesn’t) include that?

Come on Cheltenham! (May be slightly biased, but there’s a definite coverage gap in Gloucestershire. Personally I’d put it near the M5 / A417 junction (11A), or the soon (in Dept of Transport timescales) to be revamped M5 J10.)

It could be worse - you could have been transferred to British Gas as supplier of last resort. Currently six months into trying to get them to make my in home display work correctly. They are an absolute nightmare to deal with. As soon as it’s sorted I’ll be changing supplier. Unless I...

Ordered an inventory M3LR on Sunday, collected yesterday, discounted and 3000 miles charging thrown in too. 3 days was a lot quicker than the 12 months I’d been waiting for a Kia EV6 which they still couldn’t give me a build date for …
