It does slip the clutches. But when stationary with foot firmly on the brake the pressure is low

maybe a good deal. mileage a bit high for my taste but as long as the cabin filter has been changed sounds like a bargain?

I understood the rules to be a month earlier minus 1 day, so if it was due on the 9/9/23 the earliest would be the 10/8/23 so the 11th should have been fine.

Is this an exmple of an ev (Tesla) owner's attitude to maintenance and using the MOT test as a guide. Not even bothering with advisories?

The same driver in the video above during lockdown, but in traffic

The control unit change the gear at the optimum revs no need to adjust throttle In top gear Hammond did it with a manual gearbox with a broken clutch

basically what is being said is, when you start a new topic, type what the issue is about, Not your name. In the header. You have two "topics/threads" with the same title. "Jemm"

Some key fobs only unlock the drivers door when pressed once, you have to press twice to open all doors. The key fob can usually be programmed to do it differently . The childlock buttons on the drivers door stop the back doors being opened from the inside.

A good fuel saving method is to try to drive without actually coming to a full stop (stop signs excepted) There are videos used in Midas training that show how. (No sound on them) Even though in some situations it almost appears to stop, the vehicle is still rolling. On roads in general if you don't drive on the bumper of the car in front you can save a good deal of fuel. Your focus has to be on the whole road ahead reacting to the traffic at the furthest point you can see. If you drop back you see more.

Done during 2020 lockdown so it was easy for him but this shows the basics. Anticipation and reading the road. if you need to use your brakes you have wasted fuel.

I can only find an article regarding Volkswagen group for Euro 6 vehicles onwards from June 2021? https://www.fuelsandlubes.com/volkswagen-approves-use-of-hvo100-in-its-euro-6-diesel-cars/ I would check with the Dealer.

Will the increase in tariffs effect Tesla's made in China? Tesla, sells the China-made Model 3 locally for the equivalent of just under $32,000, while in Germany, the same vehicle starts at almost $43,800.

can you not set the car to never let the battery drop below a certain percentage in the settings? So when charging is not available the engine charges it.

Talking to the supplying dealer/or the one that is doing the maintenance on Motability's behalf, about a price wouldn't hurt. You know the car you have and for them it would be a quick flip so might be an excellent deal that will be possibly less than what they would sell the car for to someone else.

DIY servicing and relying on the MOT inspection would alter your comparison figures Only doing the cabin filter and not the recommended schedule and only using home charging cost significantly changes the outcome. And only works if the car never leaves an area within range of home and return. One car would have full service history the other would be listed with none on resale. Not a like for like comparison My figure for the value of the fuel was to show many will never recoup the extra cost of the EV vehicle. The Octavia Boot with seats up is bigger than the Karoq when i looked and the Tesla model y long range was the car you quoted (talking of range) which initiated my post so there was no need to change the cars to bring the ev costs down further. At the moment the Tesla Y LR is probably the only car that could meet my requirements, but it is too expensive and i actually don't like the way it looks, the limited colour choice and it's build quality.
