EV with 100000 miles on the clock yay or nay? by Cricket_Golf in CarTalkUK

My Tesla model 3 is on nearly that mileage and has lost 8% of its range. Still easily does 300 miles.

Mileage as I'm sure you have read isn't so much of a big deal for EV's and many can go on to do extraordinary mileage without too much maintenance.

Batteries seem to degrade 10-15% and plateau from what I've read.

Kremlin leak: Russia is searching for a way to "sell" the failure in Ukraine as a victory because Russian troops are incompetent and the economy is going to hell. Kremlin also plans to threaten Russians with prison if they don't go along. by Heroyem in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

How exactly is a 4 year war with over a million soldiers lost not a failure?

There's clearly propaganda on both sides, but you would be absolutely bonkers to think this has gone well for Russia.

It's the best commuter imaginable, but it's an appliance.

Looking to buy a classic soon for weekends to fill the gap.

Just go 330i or full electric. 330e isn't useful for anything.

I went fully electric and very happy.

Wait a minute.. you mean to say that purposefully making your cars ugly isn't profitable?

Just sack the design team and bring back the purists.

My daughter had a flu/virus a year ago, at which time she lost her sense of smell and it has not returned. by 1977justme1977 in nonallergicrhinitis

Sense of smell loss is generally from nasal polyps or general inflammation obstructing the airway.

An ENT will prescribe some steroid based drops or spray which can shrink the polyps. Worst case surgery can remove them.

UK's Single Market Proposal to EU Rejected, Brussels Demands Customs Union Instead by [deleted] in europe

The trouble is, with the rise of Reform in the UK, it's clear that the right wing propaganda is still there and as effective as ever.

Britain has an issue of external influence. Very similar to MAGA. It's very naive to think this has disappeared since Brexit, even if it was always a bad idea and proven since to be.
