  1. As above ^^ All season tyres are not as economical on Fuel but may last longer. https://www.justtyres.co.uk/tyre-tips/all-season-tyres-vs-summer-tyres
  2. https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/support/software-updates#tesla-accordion-v2-9216-my-software-update-is-stuck-and-wont-continue.-what-should-i-do
  3. Interesting question because that would exclude me from having a Tesla. (no data contract on my Mobile phone) All cars with the new SOS button (since 2018?) have their own sim card, i wonder if that is used by Tesla? Answered here?
  4. Because the authorities in the UK have to treat us all like idiots because we have so many? It only takes one idiot to make a Tic Tok video of a pump running not in the tank But what you refer to is a different mechanism than the tripping mechanism on modern pumps. Canada have reintroduced them.
  5. When you hold the handle it does not pull out of your hand and drop when the pump stops because the tank is full. It just becomes ineffective. You do not stop the tripper latch working if something else hold the handle up. Positioned in the right place so as not to interfere with the tripping mechanism the pump always switches off when full. You should not impede the tripping mechanism.
  6. Petrol caps fit under the handle but i have to use a USB stick top because there is no (separate) fuel cap on mine.
  7. I walk around my car checking tyres for foreign objects and tread whilst filling up
  8. I can see one near the Spokes opposite the one on the nearside (as pictured) of the rim?
  9. The tyre looks like the result of driving with a vibration for weeks, i cannot see any sign of incorrect fitting either. Modern wheel balancing machine tell the operator what weights and precisely where to put them. Then they spin it again to check. If you have had the alignment checked and a new tyre it should now be fine
  10. Why not use Googlemaps Speed limit alerts and drive within them, then you don't have to worry where they are? https://support.google.com/maps/answer/9356324?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=3292869&sjid=4937796780056475035-EU#zippy=%2Cturn-speedometer-on-or-off
  11. Demand for new electric cars is continuing to flatline in the UK as drivers remain reluctant to make the switch, latest industry figures show. Although electric vehicle registrations grew by 3.8 per cent in March, they made up a smaller percentage of all car sales compared to the same month a year ago. Market share for EVs slipped from 16.2 per cent in March 2023 to 15.2 per cent last month, as private buyers shunned the switch to pure battery-powered cars and instead turned to hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. The automotive trade body said 'a sluggish private market and shrinking EV market share' was a sign of the 'challenge ahead' for the industry, especially with manufacturers facing hefty fines if they fail to meet binding electric car sales targets from this year. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13271207/Electric-car-sales-falter-drivers-turn-hybrids.html
