Also a feature of Gen-2 (unless I have misunderstood)

Sounds like high-street insurance. I don't use them, nor high-street-banking for similar reason. I use a broker. Anything, whatsoever, I just call him and he sorts it out. He is an expert in his field, knows all about small-print etc., he also knows my circumstances, what sorts of risks I am...

I had both (M3 was replaced with MY so now have MS (Raven) & MY) Always take the MS on long journeys. More comfortable, and spacious. Hatchback convenient for "chuck everything we need in" M3 drove like a hot hatch, rather than a barge. MY not so much (but has hatchback, which was our reason...

Can't see that anyone provided a link to Tesla Info - but you may already have it of course. Not sure if you want newer, or older, than 2021 ... this filter is for "newer" - but you can change that of course. Currently 180 listed - if I ahve the right filters

We put in a second charger when we got the 2nd EV. Very very rarely charge both at the same time, but I don't need / want driveway-car-shuffle to get right-car-right-place for charging / pre-conditioning (and we have a lot of PV so at times we need both cars to charge to prevent export)

Not needing to change mine, but I am 100% in the same boat. For anyone that is bothered can't they just wrap the car? (I know, insurance will be "trouble")

A thought occurring to me is that oncoming traffic, towards that overtaking idiot, is expecting normal behaviour, and so likelihood of spotting that idiot, in time, is reduced. Maybe an oncoming FSD car would detect it sooner and avoid / reduce the accident. I saw one FSD video where car was at...

We bought our kids their houses. The amount of money I have given to Banks for loans / mortgages over the years is painful (in terms of what I could have done with that money) Our kids have savings plans equivalent to mortgage which they are required to make. Only difference is that they own...

it "feels" to me that Neutral coast better (than trying to judge exact zero-energy point. On MS I can just knock the D-N-P stalk into N. On M3 / MY I think it it s long-hold-UP (and then let go) on the drive selector

Me and all my mates have been driven around in Robotaxis for years. You early adopters trying all these novel solutions - what are you like, eh?

From the way you describe it it seems that you are assuming not, or that this is a situation unique to UK. I don't know the answer, but I have seen an FSD video where a car was double parked, passing it involved crossing a double-white line, and also there was oncoming traffic, backed up (for a...

Our architect created some stunning features. Next time (although there won't be one of those, for me!) I will spend time on how maintainable those features are, and whether builders over the centuries have done it differently for a reason ... For example, our conservatory is gorgeous, but a...

If @FastLaneJB just wants to buy someone's garden then a route would be to have an Option Agreement with the land / garden! owner. You have the cost of architect for outline planning, and lawyers etc., but the Option will fix the price of the purchase (if planning is granted) If planning...

If you can I would buy the land, as you will then spend a year at least with architect sorting out "permission" (both from Planning, and also Wife!). You don't have to build the moment you have permission (if your finances aren't ready), but my advice is "get on with it, so you can then be...

Quite. I see this "It won't work in UK" often, and I don't get it either. I've driven plenty in USA, and seen pretty much every road scenario we have here. Maybe it will stop and wait when a school bus drops some kids off - not sure that would be a bad thing ...

Saw one of them (or very similar) at the Housebuilders and Renovators exhibition last week. I really liked it, and those sloping sides made the seat-backs, inside, very comfortable.

I would get Raven if you can (I think that was 2019) Suggest you try a mix of journeys that you are actually likely to do (frequently done journeys to Relies / Business clients), and the occasional long-journey (Alps skiing / touring the continent) and see what charging stops / time would be...

Interesting reading folk's financial journeys. Would that I was that age knowing what I know now! My guess is that insulation of those "awkward shape" buildings is a nightmare. Best thermal efficiency is a Square Box, two storey - not bungalow - minimum surface area to volume (and then make...

That's been my experience with East / West giving me "usable power" an hour earlier, and an hour later - when I am more likely to be at home. North does similar in deep Summer ('coz sun rises a long way North of East, and sets North of West and the North panels catch that - but some care needed...

A bunch of additional pylons going North-South through East Anglia is proving very unpopular (I don't know why they can't just choose to bring the power ashore (from North Sea) via multiple sea-cables, rather than "to one place and then distribute it North/South "on land" [well, "profits" being...

Reading of folk here supporting kids at school in their 60's ... maybe the advice should be to marry (HAVE married!) your childhood sweetheart from High School and have 2 kids 9 months apart, and be rid of them by the time you are 40 ! Ermmm ... I failed to follow that advice!

Are you meaning you are buying some off peak and no peak (sorry if I'm being thick)? 'Coz with PV and Battery wouldn't that be the norm once out of deep Winter? I have to go back to January when I was routinely using "some peak", since 01-Feb I drew some peak on 08-Feb (PV=3.3kWh), 10-Mar...

In you are not familiar with it: PVWatts will give you an approximate "output" value

Indeed. I know someone that had a final salary pension, they worked there for 10 years (after Uni), then transferred their pension into Self Administered, when they turned 55, and that was a 7-figure sum ... (by only a few quid :) but even so ...)

I did a bit of a Google Read an McKinsey article that I found interesting "What Norway’s experience reveals about the EV charging market" Snippets: In December 2022, more than 80 percent of new cars purchased in Norway were electric The country’s effective economic and social incentives, its...

I don't disagree, but my view is that by the time a Nuclear plant, build started today, comes online storage will have been solved ... and storage will be a lot better than Nuclear in various ways. I did 95K miles in my 2015 MS with about 7% degradation. Not serviced after the point at which...

My view would be that changing cars has a depreciation hit and putting "that money aside" for warranty repair-risk would be better than actually changing cars. But that assumes that you really like the current car (i.e. keeping it preferable to "downsizing") - which looks like your situation...

No (unused) North facing roof? North will generate 70-80% of South (in summer, and provided that the pitch is not steep) and will also give you earlier-start and later-finish (when you are likely to be home before-work and after-work) - in high-summer (only)

Then I think my consideration would be: In Summer will my single PowerWall cover from end of Off Peak to "PV Sunup" (when PV generates enough to match house consumption) and (assuming 100% charged from PV during the day) from "PV Sundown" to start of Off Peak Then in Winter what proportion of...

Does that mean the car won't be at home (during peak solar hours)? There are (fairly significant loses) doing PV->PowerWall and then PowerWall->Car ... but if you have been exporting a fair bit, in Summer (and/or previously charged car during the day in Summer and no longer will be doing that)...

Quite. I don't want a hot-hatch for long haul. But having a comfortable 5-seater cruiser, with acres of cargo space, that can see off a Lambo at the lights, is very satisfying. Yup, I have found the MS to be a significant reduction in driver wear-and-tear compared to the likes of M3 / MY I...

Bit of a narrow profile for Tinder ...

Yup. O/P needs to have something to do whilst charging. If there is shopping etc. in the vicinity that might do (will you need to shop, for 20 -30 minutes, every time you charge?) Or maybe O/P has work emails to do, and could sit and do them whilst charging (which would otherwise have to be...

I have my route in Tesla SatNav on MUTE (so I can look at a big map) and route also in Waze on phone "down there" (with volume up) for spoken directions. Frequently they agree on the route. I sometimes have to resolve when Waze wants a different route (like last night ... Waze set off South...

My thoughts: Questionable whether Decent Price for Export will be persistent. As more PV is installed maybe there will be less incentive to pay a good price for Export (you allude to this later in the thread ...) but its put me off doing it ... I am more focused on using everything I can...

Not related to your choice of car When we got the first MS (back in 2015) we kept the 2nd car (ICE) as a backup. In 2019 we replaced the MS with a Raven MS (real world range up from 240 to just shy of 300 motorway miles). Was doing about 30K miles p.a. at that time, and looking at the data for...

Overheating from all the marriage proposals it has got today ...

2x PowerWall have been in Standby all day. I have power-cycled them, and press-and-hold for 5-ish seconds the red "reset" button in gateway (but not used the "emergency" slide switch). Not changed settings at all (dunno if anything downloaded an OTA update) Up to yesterday PowerWall starts...

Short term though, isn't it? And then pay-back can be had (less oil imports, less pollution to have to clean up, less health care related to that pollution, etc.) Or just take whatever the cost of the incentives is away from the current subsidies to Oil companies ...

Maybe a better comparison is difference between Salary Sacrifice vs. best finance deal available (for same individual, and car model etc., finance-period)

Its your (small) number of posts. You'll be able to edit (for a short while) once your post count goes over some threshold

Done, thanks. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/jump-to-new.321519/ I'll report back here if anything substantive comes to light.

Copy of post in another forum: teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/jump-to-new.321510/ I seem to have far more threads (compared to some weeks back) where once opened they are at the top, rather than at first NEW message. I have to notice ... i.e. avoid just start reading from the top. Pressing...

I seem to have far more threads (compared to some weeks back) where once opened they are at the top, rather than at first NEW message. I have to notice ... i.e. avoid just start reading from the top. Pressing JUMP TO NEW works, but it feels to me that there has been a change and that that was...

Plenty of history of improvements like that "coming later". maybe its because they have wanted to see how batteries (on new models) perform before unlocking such features.

I was making a general point

I don't know anything about salary sacrifice, but if she is a higher tax payer than O/P might that make the price cheaper (more tax saved)? Cash in hand for disposal of the previous car maybe? One-time-win of course, once SalSac finishes they'll have to find a deposit for whatever they then...

I too don't use the horn for "save dashcam clip", for that reason, but I thought I read recently that OTA update had changed save-on-honk to wait a bit, and then save. I might be imagining it though?

That sounds like the amount of time it would take for a full reboot (what used to require both-buttons press and also foot-on-brake), so although probably a heart stopping moment! I think it likely just the normal "boot from scratch" time.

Ask your bank why the transaction did not complete? They will have logged incoming request, and rejected it for some reason (and probably sent an error code to Tesla, but that error code could be anything / quite possibly meaningless outside the original bank, or not handled - i.e. not "decoded...
