There are statutory limitations. Limitation Act 1980

Mod Request: random M3 Highland has appeared in the OP? Bizarre. Perhaps this thread has run its course. It was intended to be a courteous exit rather than another thread debating the state of the nation with our stateside cousins.

Ionic 5? I know it’s not a Tesla, but I fancy a change. Slightly fewer software updates. Max charge rate is good. Battery size is good. I like the look. Price is good. I’m not doing the miles anymore (but SuC now open). Not overly worried about key security- I don’t live in London or Birmingham...

It’s been a blast, literally. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Tesla adventure over the last 5 years but I have started the countdown to the lease expiry date and I think I’ve made a decision on my next car. My needs have changed with WFH. Superchargers open to all seals the deal. I’ll try to be...

Wales?

TSLA share price has taken a 43% hit so far this year. Timescales reality check to deliver the FSD dream + EV headwinds generally? I bet there’s a few people lost chunks.

More LHD satnav ported to RHD behaviour? FFS. Slightly less annoying than diving off every slip road but still annoying.

I’m not aware smart EV chargers are made to the same standards as those for required for electricity meters (or calibration requirements). If not, there seems little chance they could be used for tax purposes. #good luck with that. Accurate within 10%...

So it looks like finance companies panicking, share prices slumping….but in reality very few DCAs in place. 🤔

I’m liking the matrix lights. However, not everyone has 20/20 vision and eyes in perfect health. ‘Incredibly bright’ for some means ‘blinded’ for others. I’m not sure ‘just get used to it’ is the answer. A couple of people I know would scare the hell out of me if all oncoming cars had incredibly...

‘Comning soon’, the Automated Vehicles Bill [HL] 2023-24 is in its late stages and I can’t see why a new Government wouldn’t (in a post Brexit world) continue with it. Part 4 on Marketing allows the Secretary of State to ban some words (by making regulations) from being used to promote cars that...

“keep them at 100% go on holiday for a month and only lose 5%.” you can tick that one off your list already. Musk promises that in 2036 that the long tail of problems *should* be solved and Tesla will *soon* activate Robotaxi for a one-off system registration fee of $15k which will probably...

If it’s un-drivable won’t your insurance provide a hire car? Given EV repair times the option should be considered almost compulsory!

Is it temporary though? I don’t see it returning any time soon. Look at the cost of Nuclear. The high prices do help the Net Zero journey though. While energy was so cheap the business case to invest in PV or EV infrastructure was reliant on altruistim rather than financial returns - you could...
