    Ionity cuts EV charging prices across Europe, EXCEPT UK!

    To be fair to Ionity, they have not reduced the top line prices in around half of the countries in the table. The new "Passport Power" is a considerable price drop since it brings the price per Kw to lower than Tesla in many locations. Whilst Ionity network has not got great coverage in the...

    Insurance Question - Young Driver

    I couldn't log in on my Model 3 Insurance, so I thought I would try it on my Etron GT, with very low expectations. My insurer on this vehicle is currently Admiral. My policy ends in mid February next year. When you log in you have the option to add someone temporarily or permanently. I dutifully...

    Insurance Question - Young Driver

    In July we will be making our annual road trip to Southern Spain from our home in Cheshire. Normally just my self and my son go in the car and the wife flies out to join us. In the past I have always done all the driving but I would really like my son to share some of the driving with me. He is...

    Adding 2nd Hand Tesla To App?

    Bet it was a cinch wasn't it.

    Tesla App unable to wake car since update

    Have you tried completely closing the App and then re-opening it.

    UK MXLR+ second hand considerations

    In relation to your HV battery coolant heater failure, mine failed too in December. Unfortunately, I was out of warranty on my MS and so it cost over £1,000 to repair. That was early December. Later in December I saw a YouTube Video mentioning something along the lines of a sofware update having...

    Model S aftermarket alloys - 19x9.5J rears ET32 - will they fit?

    Yes they have tyres, with plenty of tread (I could get more precise mm if you are serious about them). I tend to put these slipsteam 19's on over each winter then revert to the 21's in summer. No idea what they are worth but probably happy to take 20% under whatever they go for on ebay. PM me if...

    Model S aftermarket alloys - 19x9.5J rears ET32 - will they fit?

    I'm not technical enough to specifically know the answer to your question, but from experience of moving to non Tesla wheels in the past, you have to be extremely careful about the fit. Many wheels simply do not work. I have a spare set of great condition 19" silver slipstream original Tesla...

    Flint Supercharger Open to All BEV’s

    So I called in at Flint Supercharger today. Two non Teslas charging, both with “wrong side” charger location on their cars meaning 2 vehicles using up 4 chargers. Other 4 occupied, so unable to charge. A glimpse of the shape of things to come. Oh joy.

    Tesla Price Reductions

    And with 6k of free supercharging...if you can move quickly a tempting offer.

    Tesla Alternative?

    Personally, when viewing the Ioniq 6 in real life after having seen the pictures I felt it looked better 'in real life'. Had a look at the Volvo EX30 after seeing some mentions here. Have to say the price seems to be incredibly competitive, but I really just could not have that very 'boxy'...

    Just another Road Trip post

    In view of the price of public charging, arriving home on 6% was a perfect outcome.

    Tesla Alternative?

    This rather good looking Model 3 competitor hasn't had many mentions on this thread:

    Insurance troubles May 2023

    I agree with you. The question is poorly worded and based on the false premise that the (registered) keeper and owner are the same. EDIT After posting I noticed a subsequent post has noted answering “no” does then actually break down the split between owner and keeper.
