Thank God we left the EU. EU overreach yet again mandating these :unsafe “safety” features in all cars.

Just coming to this topic fresh as a newbie maybe looking for my first electric car as my employer now offers salary sacrifice scheme with the tax incentives Honestly, I think you’ve got to be mad to be buying the Tesla FSD add on now. Tesla I’m sure will improve on EAP over the next 5 years...

Unless you do a high mileage does anyone really care about fuel costs per mile? I’m looking for my first electric car (maybe) now that my employer is running a lease scheme, currently running a golf R. Despite the relatively high consumption of the Golf I can honestly say I’ve not once bothered...

As legacy car manufacturers close the gap and overtake Tesla in the production of BEVs is this start of long term decline for Tesla? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68818113 In other news e-fuels, or synthetic fuels, are exempt from the EU 2035 petrol/diesel ban. F1 is now investing very...

Highland model has done away with indicator stalks so no one wants to buy them. :rolleyes:

Holy crap, I can’t believe what you Tesla owners are prepared to put up. The car deciding whether or not it’s going to let you use AP. Punishment “strikes’. Unbelievable.

Ex30 is carwow car of the year for 2024 if that means anything. Rear is very cramped though and no drivers display/hud putting me off.

First look at smart #3

Smart #3 brabus looks interesting to me. Nice looking car, fantastic interior, packed with features (that actually work) and blistering performance. Range untested but I’m not fussed about that anyway as will likely charge from home for 99% of journeys. May be let down by a mediocre infotainment...

I’ve noticed many BEV owners on here seem to be high mileage drivers, or at least above the national average which is now 6.6k miles a year. Post covid many people now work from home, don’t have the daily commute and perhaps do as little 2-3k miles per year. With that low mileage, the extra cost...

No wonder depreciation is so terrible, consensus of opinion seems to be BEV cars are going to be practically worthless when hit 7/8 years old.

My take on it is that it is not about cost savings, primarily at least. Just doesn’t make any sense if you then offset those savings with yet more speakers and a rear screen that most people won’t use most of the time. I think Musk is completely obsessed with automation and self drive. He wants...

Looking at smart #1 brabus as a possible next car in stealthy matt grey. Beautiful looking car with the red accents, great interior including drivers display and hud (not a fan of the gimmicky fox thing though). Decent interior space for a small suv. Fantastic performance, good ride quality and...

This is a Tesla forum. Posters are just being honest. Frustrating thing for me is that Tesla do the hard stuff such as efficiency, range, performance so brilliantly yet fall down on basics. Why has refreshed m3 still not got a hud for goodness sake? BMW/Audi/Merc ICE drivers who may be tempted...

Blimey, so once every 100 days it guesses wrong and you risk an accident, maybe even injuring or killing an an innocent person. No thanks

Sure, sure. The buttons constantly move with the wheel and change position. Stalks never move and are always in the same place. Imagine having set up where with the wheel inverted, the turn signals are inverted so the left signal suddenly turns you right and vice verse. Recipe for catastrophe...

On other point and not a dig at Tesla owners. Tesla still has the best drivetrain, effeicieny, range and power for price point. Looking forward to seeing the model 2. However, the other manufacturers are belatedly catching up. Particularly the big European brands like Volvo partnering with...

That would be a clear car modification and insurers wouldn’t touch it. Can see a glut of these stalkless cars appearing on the used market for about £5k lol.

Frankly, I can’t believe there are fanboys actually willing to try and defend this nonsense. It’s a barmy decision with zero benefit to the driver. Stalks are easy to use, you don’t have to do searching or reaching for anything and stalk are ubiquitous. What next? Remove the pedals and replace...

Looking for an electric car this year but have ruled out a m3 now. Wouldn’t even bother with a test drive because I know I can’t operate buttons with wheel inverted. Radio station and volume buttons on steering wheel I can’t operate with wheel inverted, I have to wait until the steering wheel is...

My big concern is that when Tesla roll back on this, which is inevitable imho, the stalkless cars are going to be near worthless. Who in their right mind would buy a used car without stalks when you can buy a slighter newer m3h that has stalked fitted. Another one of Elon’s crazy ideas that’s...

:) May have been a bit harsh on the m3. There’s a hell of a lot to like, just the negatives have built up now. Ready for a new electric car July 24 or can extend my lease on my golf r for another year and wait til July 25 and see how the electric market pans out.

Looking for my first electric car as my company is now offering the salary sacrifice scheme. I’ve followed Tesla for a long time but the new M3 is “unbuyable” with Tesla vision, no USS and the bonkers indicator buttons replacing stalks. My feeling is Tesla is 100% geared towards the American...
