At what price would people buy one? I’d pay more than WBAC were offering but not sure I’d even pay £5k.

My car has been parked in a field near Gatwick this week and I see the software update is not longer waiting for WiFi to download like it was a couple of days ago. ☹️

The same London mayor who said he wouldn’t expand the ULEZ zone. 😂 I think we need to be prepared, like I’ve seen with removal of local council parking discounts, that EVs won’t/can’t be given special status when income needs to be found.

I hadn’t read this thread as title wasn’t a big draw for me but just read and caught up 😳. I have a lot of sympathy with what @FastLaneJB said back near the start. I have driven 40k over 3 years in my car and 3.5k of that was from one touring holiday in France in August 22. I regularly drive...

Anyone else considering offloading their Tesla shares after this change in strategy (as well as the decision not to build the Model 2)? Shares haven’t dropped like I would have expected but feel it’s only time - and maybe not much time. 🤷‍♂️

Is it any less irritating than the other manufacturers introducing promotions at random times to shift stock? Historically, you always needed to negotiate and I always felt it might have been possible to have made a better deal so never left a showroom happy I’d got the best price. Unless...

Can I assume you need to user public chargers a lot to charge your car? For home charging at cheap rate I calc that 9000 miles of driving only works out as £200 ish. Sorry, I probably shouldn’t be challenging another man’s man maths.

I posted (on upgrade thread?) that I found recently in France, during the limited driving I did, that it was working how we would like so wondered if it’s only an issue when in countries where we drive on the left. Gives me hope it’s not intentional and will be fixed.

🙋‍♂️Mine basically never dry wiped nor did a bad job until a couple of updates ago. Still no dry wiping but I now need to choose a setting or manual wipe most drives in rain.

I’ve just had a little drive in France and it isn’t doing the same over here. On the trip to Folkestone it told me to stay on the motorway for pretty much (or all?) junctions but in France it told me I had 40km, or whatever it was, to my exit and there were plenty of exits on the way to mine...

I can’t say I found this last weekend when I went to the Trentham chargers a couple of times. It showed 4 free both times and that was reality.

I don’t disagree with your post but, from what I’ve seen, a lot of the alternatives are at a much higher price point. When I bought my first M3 I thought they were expensive but their current peers for performance and range seem to be getting crazy expensive. I used to consider the Tesla...

On 8.7 too. I’ve just driven back from up North to West London and on the motorway (not the most beneficial place to have it) it was quite interesting to see it keep changing its beam ,quite rapidly, based on where cars were on the road ahead. If I was in inside lane with cars in lane 2 it...

I retired 2 years ago at 55 after a career in IT (programmer -> CTO).
