I think the Highland Model 3, released in the last few months, is much better than the Model 3 of 6 or so years ago. The Model Y will change similarly with the Juniper version due at the end of this year, stat of next year for HD probably.   The design is partly about lowering the aero drag coefficient down another hundredth or two down towards 0.2.  The very low Cd helps give the TESLAs the best energy efficiency and range. Model Y is best selling car in the world for these and other reasons, personally I aim to have a Model 3 standard range with the LFP battery, sub £40K, good looking in my opinion. Headlights look much better than original IMO.      

I would halve that, and sometime around 12-14k miles, get them switched front-back to even out wear.   Generally in UK front left wears fastest (due to roundabouts) and rear right the slowest.  As long as you have a spare easy job at home, swapping them in sequence (don't bother to fully tighten the bolts or put the locking lug bolt on the spare, as will come off before you drive it)

I definitely would do less motorway journeys and do more short cuts across countryside, even park up my EV more and use my MHEV for which I have a fuel card. All bad for air quality and the move to lower emission vehicles.   UK Gov would have to review the 45p per mile, fist 10k miles, and 25p after that as both public and private workers would do even more of refusing to use their cars for their employers and to take the public transport options which has a profound effect on operational efficiency.   I think the UK government will be scarred to do this and it is 99% certain, it is reported, to be a Labour Government from a few months time and then for the next 5 years and I wonder what their policy and legislation will be.        

That reminded me of something that typifies Simon.  He can't drive, due to the epilepsy, so catches a bus to work.  It's a 20 or so mile journey.  When the bus gets to Hailsham, while people are getting on the bus, Simon gets off, gets himself, and the bus driver, a coffee, and gets back on for the rest of the journey 😎   I was his line manager for several years, including pre and post surgery.  The surgery effectively re-booted his brain and, as expected, he lost some stuff that he then needed to re-learn.  It hit home to me when he was first allowed out, and went to the pub.  Playing snooker, he didn't know what ball to play next.  All it needed was for someone to say 'blue' and that was it, back in place, and he was off.  That simple explanation of what it was like for him, post surgery still gets to me.   G
