Fair enough. I just balance the accelerator pressure to get me where I’m going, and as I don’t have a heavy right foot I find the efficiency takes care of itself 😁

Dumb question: what decisions is the regen indicator informing? In my case, and I suspect many others, the answer is “none”. In which case if information presented has no possible use for driver decision making, why present that information to the driver at all? Unsurprisingly you’ll find me...

The question is whether they’ll do that based on first sale date for two otherwise identical vehicles. The other settings are VIN-based/factory-set and I agree there’s many precedents for that. At best I expect any changes to apply to a range of VIN numbers guaranteed to have been sold through...

Speed camera chime seems like a nice quality of life improvement and the manual wiper control is considerably improved.

I understand that Highland is a different vehicle, technically, to a pre-Highland vehicle. As an example, any unsold UK stock of Model Y’s must comply with the new legislation in order to be legally sold after the effective date. Are Tesla really going to offer one software behaviour on two...

Just looked here and update percentage is also not rendering correctly on the front screen for me. iOS v13.1.4, if that helps. I had a previous version installed (not sure of the version number, sorry) that rendered correctly, but updating to 13.1.4 on iOS broke the display so I think that's a...

What you're giving up there with the Porsche is about £100k... I mean fair enough, but it's not even vaguely in the same market as a Model Y!

I'm not allowed an I4, says SWMBO. She says it's a midlife crisis car, and apparently I'm too old for a midlife crisis. FML.

Wait, a software update removed your stalks ? This must mean Tesla can OTA LIDAR. Can't wait.

Both our Y’s had 2024.14.8 offered last night. One’s updated (USS) the other is scheduled for 2am Friday morning (non-USS)

You went with the plain s3 evo then, rather than the T1 version ?

I’ve done exactly this for ages, albeit mostly to avoid my wife screwing up the charge limits at home…

This again? Several manufacturers are on record as stating that their autonomous agents will aim to prevent injury to driver and passenger as this is what the human driver would instinctively do. If that means mowing down children at a bus stop, that’s what can be expected. Take a human-driven...

The overall package is still market competitive and there’s plenty of profit per vehicle to discount against. I’m glad there’s increasing choice and diversity in the market though, and long may it continue.

From what I can see this isn’t unusual either. Low mileage and delivery mileage vehicles are often at very deep discounts; my Dad picked up a 24 plate e-208 pre-reg runabout last week for a whisker over £18k and he even had choice of colour. 44% discount - bonkers. The inevitability of a large...
