    [UK] Spring Software Update

    2024.14.3 installed this morning. Speed cameras warnings useful - if it works. Thumbwheel for the wipers might improve a dire situation but seems like a band aid rather than a proper fix. The screen is pretty but as someone who originally paid for FSD four years ago, I have a strong feeling...

    Good bye

    As someone who joined this august body the day before you, I very much agree :) I'm on my second and am keeping it. I certainly wouldn't consider another Tesla on current spec/prices.

    Hows your adaptive high beam?

    Drove in pitch black last night on full beam. I was passed by about seven or eight vehicles coming the other way and watched the matrix pixels turn off and then wipe back to normal. No one flashed me and the ability to drive with full beam is a real advantage. Does exactly what it says on the...

    What’s your job?

    After a career in corporate business, I spent my last working years as a consultant asset manager for a venture capital business or legalised crime syndicate - depended on whether you were a donor or recipient of money from them. Tiring of such futility, I retired to the west of France with my...

    Help Please

    Here in France, a blood test is given every year. The point is not to see the 'actual' result, it's to monitor the trend. Over the last 10 years, mine has gone up and down between 0.99 and 1.10 Doc tells me that if over the period of 12 months, it rises by more than 1 then more checking is done.

    Daft Times anti-EV article of the day

    Today's Times. Behind a paywall so I quote: Sathnam Sanghera Monday January 08 2024, "I gave up car journalism a few years ago but got a reminder of what it sometimes involved with the loan of a Bentley Flying Spur over Christmas. It was incredible: bigger than a caravan but somehow as...

    2023 Holiday Update

    Trip planner on mobile - not bad, could be useful. Blind spot, yep it's OK. The rest, just noise.

    [UK] 2023.38

    According to the article copied below, there are four levels of warning that manufacturers can choose from - and all can be overridden. The 'lightest level' just shows the speed limit in the car - which my M3 has done since I bought it. Anyway, I have 2023.38 installed, live in France and, as...

    Luton Airport Car Park 2 Fire

    I guarantee...in fact I will put money on it, that before the day is through, the Luddites will be saying that the fire service are putting forward government propaganda and it was in fact an EV that started the fire...OR...there were EV's in the car park that 'made it worse'.
