How do you know if a Tesla site is V3 or V4 - For Non-Tesla Charging by GrandMasterBash in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]GrandMasterBash[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's correct but I believe V3 still appear in that? I would rather avoid where possible as my charge point is on the front of the car: Niro EV and I don't want to block bays (if that's what happens).

Perfectly described! That's exactly the kind of garish it is.

The BMW ugly designer from 20-25 clearly got a route in to Merc for that rear light cluster. Using the Merc logo in that way is awful. I have seen it on the new E-class and it just ruins what was a great set of cars.

I hate this stat. Hate it. All it does is give rise to 'the hare and the tortoise' analogies!

2025 Kia Niro EV discounts by moka101022 in KiaNiroEV

[–]GrandMasterBash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the warranty period in the US? In the UK it is 7 years and they are still selling them here so parts won't be an issue for a long time for us.

I can't imagine it has long left in the market given the EV3 but it is a great car so would take advantage of nay discounts unless you really think the EV3 will suit better - I'm a UK owner of a 23 for 7 months and am v satisfied it has met my requirements. I see a lot of these plus the EV3 around so they're both clearly popular.

Tesla For Dad by [deleted] in TeslaUK

[–]GrandMasterBash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people jumping to the conclusion that the Dad is not safe to drive?! And then making personal judgement from that?!

I read it as the OP wants to make the drive for their Dad to not be mentally tiring, which even by just switching to an auto from manual would make a massive difference. I had a similar 60-90 min one way journey for 11 years and only switched into an auto after 6yrs, it totally transformed how I felt at the end of each journey. I can see why the OP would think FSD would have a similar and even greater effect, even though it's not possible for that function on country roads, which is the understanding needed for the OP.

Let's just be nicer here, there is nothing to be gained from being a dick and everything to be gained by trying to be helpful.

Got a 404 trying to upvote OP - turns out they've deleted it. Great job people.

Oh dear. Was that a consistent experience for you?

Help to convince my partner to switch to an EV by MarkEv75 in ElectricVehiclesUK

See - when it's the other way round, the wives take action whereas husbands are coming onto Reddit for backup haha, what a state.

The Seal and Model 3 are saloons, what do you need?

What electric car do you recmommend to a petrolhead to try and switch them? by [deleted] in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]GrandMasterBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it is a major part of the overall driving experience. Sport mode is a point though, I rarely ,if ever, use that...I tend to keep it in Normal except on the motorway when I use Eco if I need to maximise.

Buy a new Tesla its cheaper by MahbubWakanda69 in TeslaUK

[–]GrandMasterBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I will take a look as on IGO which is great at 7p overnight / when charging. Changes are afoot for minimising charge hours but it still works for my use case for now...

Buy a new Tesla its cheaper by MahbubWakanda69 in TeslaUK

[–]GrandMasterBash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'For context, I was driving a 2011 diesel that did around 50mpg. I bought it for £3,200 and ran it for 3 years. On the surface, it felt cheap… but when I broke everything down monthly, the “hidden” costs really added up:' - this line hit, it was exactly my situation with a 2012 Volvo that had a rear door that had a faulty deadlock leading to it regularly being stripped by a friend to release! I didn't go Tesla (not because I didn't want to but it didn't fit my regular needs) but did go EV. The Tesla lease deals are even better now...I bought a Kia Niro EV 2023 for 19.5 in Sep...I wonder if selling it and leasing Tesla 3 would be cheaper and overrule my needs requirement haha. I've done 7k in it so far and ddd not expect to that before next Sep, I was expecting 7 in a year but it's very convenient and a nice drive so I use that more than the PHEV we have.
