My blue MG4 has a couple of stone chips, a few stone dents and a scrape on the boot from storm daragh. If only it was a Cybertruck

That’s an excellent point about customisation and Tesla have an advantage with their more nuanced and modern architecture. However core safety features such as AEB are defaulted on despite any customisation. Understandably the safety of a car and its occupants shouldn’t be compromised by...

Safety ratings require it

There are good reasons for the difference. I recommend the Fully Charged podcast interview with Osprey CEO if you’d like to understand the UK specific challenges. Because it could be a lot better and greed is not the only motive.

Sorry to hear your pain Model 3 and Y refresh?

Yes if charging is more of a challenge then always buy the largest battery you can afford. Personally my energy costs have been significantly cheaper than diesel was previously and despite driving a fair bit further. Tactical use of public charging can keep costs especially low so just do some...

Love my SE, 16 months and 22k miles. LFP is basically a rust battery, so if anyone comes at you with “child mining” or “precious metals” you have no need to worry. Also charging to 100% is perfectly reasonable and stress free. Added bonus is the car is 170hp and very quick despite being the...

My mode has been: 1) Tesla 2) Elecroverse app or GRIDSERVE on offer 3) Whatever is convenient and plentiful Sainsbury’s for example 4) Avoid Shell and InstaVolt But also if you charge mostly at home you need not be over anxious just go somewhere with plentiful chargers if possible.

Given the Sun being being low in the sky and out much less as well as covered by clouds and thick gloom it’s hardly surprising. Thankfully brighter days, weeks and months ahead. East facing 1.4kW array will do a little better then.

The heater and required battery heating hit efficiency. In my SR I get around 3.2 in winter with heating and about 4.5 or so when no heating. But of course heat is often not optional. Given how cheap electricity is I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

Look less at what people say and more at what they do. Plus he plays to the media and clearly feels he personally can make a difference. Of course how we feel about such things is very personal and also who we think will solve the huge problems facing us all.

Love the colour, a brand new Model Y in dark blue was parked outside my house this week, a vision of the future perhaps. Of course all this is personal choice but how nice that the choices are becoming more accessible.

AC V2H is coming but for now V2L will do, could be useful in an emergency or camping for sure. If only the car had camp mode…
