It's hardware related. UWB requires new hardware pre Highland M3 don't have.

I would say the shares are to high when compared to a legacy traditional car company. But Tesla is a disruptor, they are doing things that are upsetting the norm and not just in terms of robotaxis and AI but rather just as much in terms of engineering and manufacturing. They have thrown out the...

Not entirely. While Elon is he largest shareholder he is a long way from being a majority share holder. Last time I looked he held about 10-12%. Large financial institutions such as BlackRock, JP Morgan and Vanguard will hold more shares combined. You need to keep those guys happy, they will...

Is it already essentially cash. I export £70 of electricity a month, spring to autumn. So that goes straight onto my Octopus credit. But yes I could ask Octopus to refund me my account credit but it's easier to manage all my occasional non Tesla SC through electroverse and my Octopus account...

One nice feature for me this time of year is my solar export credit, which can be significant April through September, can be used to charge the car away from home as both my export credit and occasional non Tesla charging are on my Octopus bill. In a way it lets me take my house solar on the...
