Usually cars with big discounts when new impacts on their future resale value. So then it's harder to make them a good deal on PCP deals (because a big part of the deal is what the car will be worth in x years time), it's something the German's got a hang of early on and something the Italians...

Noticed this on my test drive, it absolutely ****s its way into a space. I probably won't use it for this reason.

It's almost certainly this.

Goes to prove that AI talks BS, mine did it on the drive home worse than it does now. So dunno what it's smoking RE: 4,000 mile thing. And if that's wrong, what else is it making up?

Either: "Never heard about that" or "They all do that Sir"

Thanks. When I test drove the IM5 I did make sure I ran it down to a low SoC, and it was a fairly cold and wet day. It actually felt faster than my XPOWER, not as much traction of course, but I can live with that having driven a M140i through a few winters on Cup 2 tyres.

My issue is still around the nature that sometimes you get full power, and then other times you don't. Like I said, it's like having a ICE car with an intermittent fault that cuts power. The amount of reduction in power is really silly in my car, there's a chance it might be faulty but I've run...

I did say that was a long one.

Usually cheaper to use an app with the discounts etc on offer. Also you could automate it with software if you got email receipts to aggregate your data into a spreadsheet if you were that way inclined. I'd probably just use Power Automate. Plus you know, the 80/20 rule right? I bet more than...

My point being you don't know what will happen, you could brush the throttle and it could scream away, or you could floor it and it'll feel like the handbrake is on. Do you see the issue? And before you go on about trucks again, you know what a truck is going to do because you know the weight...

Yeah but charging apps provide it too.

Don't think it would fit in my work car park. I've piloted plenty canal boats though.

Does your home charger not provide these stats?

You can tell people don't live in a rural setting here. Busy road, joining with no slip road at 60mph. You could sit and wait, but you might be there forever with traffic backing up behind you. What you need is a punchy car that can safely get you into a gap. Also dual carriageways that have...

Today I had reduced power at 40%, wouldn’t give more than 70%.
