Cell level repair in a Tesla pack was never really a thing outside of jank DIY jobs. Fair comment on the modules though.

Because petrol station owners probably want their business to remain relevant in 20 years…..

It’s confirmed open and open to all (as it was before).

South Mimms and London gateway have finished construction, just need switch on.

There is always going to be a warranty issue - you are modifying the car from its original spec. Any modified part, the warranty on that part is void. Any damage caused by the modifications is not covered by warranty. It doesn’t matter if you used OEM parts or not. It really is that simple and...

That idiocy has always existed and isn’t new or a symptom of opening up the network. People have always used supercharging bays as parking spaces in both ICE cars and EVs and have done since they existed.

They may look similar from 30ft away but they are not the same car underneath… The iX has also been out for a few years at this point. I remember the feeling of being a bit sick in my mouth when I first saw one in 2021!

Tesla (or any other manufacturer) are not going to sanction you modifying your car. I’m not exactly sure that you were expecting here.

They can only invalidate the warranty on failures relating to the tow hitch you’ve installed.

Scotch corner will inevitably be V4.

The Tesla/subscription price is the same as most other MSA’s and the non-Tesla price is the same as Frankley which is open to all. I’d suggest Tesla is just doing their own thing with pricing and isn’t pricing relative to its neighbouring chargers.

Probably not no as you have no direct contract/relationship with Tesla so it’s unclear what law you’d rely on to make your case. Your contract is with whoever you bought the car from ultimately.

Tesla are on site now doing the commissioning, should be any day.

Pretty sure Octopus have an agreed set price with the operator, the issue is some operators charge diff prices at different sites. Some chargers are on a particular operators network but they are actually owned by and prices set by a 3rd party like your local council. The operator is just...

It’s being upgraded from 8V2 to 16V4 and will be reopened any day - just waiting on being powered up/commissioned.

FSD in America.

It’s fastned that operate the other chargers at Redbridge.

If you’ve been employed less than 2 years, you can be let go without cause or recourse in the U.K. You can be made redundant but they’d need to pay you.

Quick progress. Kettering and Newmarket were not on the map either, they just popped up one day. No one spotted the Kettering site being built until it was live on the app. Newmarket was spotted but only after the cabinets arrived on site.

The give away is that this isn’t an EG site, if it was there would be a big EG sign there already. I’ve never seen an EV Point charger (Tesla or otherwise) that’s not cited on an EG owned forecourt/services.

It’s almost everything the 2nd gen Tesla roaster should have been before Tesla got distracted. They could have released this car at this price point years ago if they kept the design brief sensible and they would have sold tens if not hundreds of thousands of them by now. My only complaint...

I was at Rugby a few weeks ago, every single stall but one was in use. It was turning over cars very quickly but despite it being one of the biggest in the country, it gets BUSY. A charger in a local shopping centre is serving a different kind of customer to those on the M6. The Gridserve...

It’s Tesla. Thats not an EG group site and its fits Tesla’s MO.

It also had a 10% import tariff added when it was landed in the U.K.

PLUS tax, document fees, delivery fees and registration. Of course there is also the £7500 government incentive you already mentioned. Bringing in a car from outside the EU into the EU/UK adds another 10% tax plus the cost to ship it here.

I use the left scroll wheel, the horn means it cuts the clip in the wrong place. You typically need at least 1 min after the event and that kind of makes the horn redundant.

VIN plate takes president. If you are pulled by the police or VOSA, that’s what they’ll look at (not the V5). In all honesty, it’s it’s just for bikes, I’d be looking at roof bars. Cheaper and less grief.

The point in which it starts to slow is dependent on your speed, the car in fronts speed and the 2-7 setting. Setting 2 can be very late on the brakes, particularly if there is a large speed differential to the car you are catching in front. Likewise if you are happy to sit back behind...

It could simply be using a newer part of the instruction set available on the AMD processor that isn’t supported on the older Atom because it’s too old. In any case it’s just wild speculation until the software is released and the usual hackers get hold of it and see how it was actually done...

that’s usually the case but it’s not a guarantee that the existing V2’s will be retained.

You can but it has to form part of the weight of the car, not a trailer. So bike racks, tow bar boxes are fine. Trailers are a hard no.

It will be slower than stopping at keel so ABRP will never pick it and it will assume you’ll not be sharing power on a V2 which you likely will be at Keel. That said, if you are sharing, I suspect it’s neither here nor there as you’ll have at least a 10 min advantage over Trentam. I’d still...

Personally I would have picked Trentam Gardens rather than keel for a lunch stop and you’d have been able to get there without stopping at rugby if you had sufficient bladder range. 5 mins off the motorway and a much nicer place to stop and have lunch. Thats before considering keel is an old...

That would be my assumption also but I used ‘in theory’ because you’d probably win if you challenged it due to its wording thanks to our legal system. It’s a well established principle that where there is any ambiguity in a contract, it favours the person with the least power/the person who...

To be honest, the list of exclusions is smaller than I expected. Headlights is a bit of a red flag these days with LEDs. It specifically cites 12V battery, in theory that means the 16V battery is covered. Infotainment screen isn’t excluded nor are electronic control modules.

Because the link above didn’t have an obvious link to the policy document without going through the full quotation process.

What’s on the exclusion list?

It’s just an American thing where sedans are not tinted, ‘SUVs’ are.

Highly unlikely as it’s welcome break if I recall correctly. All their expansions in progress are V3 to date.

There is no chance you are getting 200-220 miles range from a car with a WLTP rating of 250 miles in the real world. Sure perhaps around town if you extrapolate it out but the range around town is basically irrelevant. 100kw is still slow… I would t count on my old Model 3 with a 60kwh battery...

PS those of you with heat pumps, a 7kw heat pump will at most be drawing 16A and probably more like 10A, even when going full tilt. Solar will reduce your loading from the grid during daylight hours not the other way round. So you have a car rated at 32A, a battery storage system (typically...

The jeep avenger is just too expensive for what it is. It has a WLTP range of 250 miles. Real world range is closer to 150 miles on the motorway in colder months, that’s just poor. It also charges slowly.

To be honest, I’m not sure Tesla could to produce a $25k car which would be up to their general standards anymore. Not with the way pricing is going generally. It may have been achievable back in 2020 when it was first floated bit not any more. ‘Low cost’ is relative, Porsche have a ‘low cost’...

I’ll go 9 months until it’s fully fitted and open.

Not sure this really holds up, the real price drops on other vehicles were as much as if not more than what Tesla did. Don’t forget other manufacturers increased their RRPs and stopped ‘discounts’ and incentives, Tesla just did the former. Tesla dropped their prices but they are still up on...

People will be holding off the Y because they expect it to get refreshed, not because they are buying a Model 3.

I’m not talking about scrappage, I’m talking about the general market churn and the report clearly states that people tend to keep cars for around 4 years (new and used). The section on ownership is below the section on scrappage. It is set out in section 4 as previously stated, the reference...

It’s got nothing to do with being rich and you are responding to something that wasn’t written. I politely invite you to re-read my post :). Also that link makes no reference to how long people actually own their cars for on average. A car may be 13 years old on average when it’s scrapped but...

This basically. Most people in the U.K. only keep their cars for 4 years, you simply have money to burn for not getting a refund on something you didn’t receive on a car which is likely to be sold to someone else in the near future, if not already. FSD transfers have only been a thing here...

It’s mutually beneficial. Hotels tend to have 24/7 facilities and hotels want to have chargers on site. Win win, except for when the hotel sells the car park.
