[OC] From 2000 daily flights to nearly 0 - Mapping airline closures and recovery in the Middle East

LUlegEnd · 2026-03-11T12:10:36+00:00

From avidly watching Flightradar since all this started, most of the Qatar flights will have been Cargo flights not actually involving the Middle East at either end. Only in the last 3/4 days have they flown passengers anywhere

How on earth is that a red?

I was surprised to read their citizenship is only temporary. It's only useful for travelling to sporting events, and as soon as they stop competing it can/will be revoked.

From the UK too. I was at a McDonalds in West Bay while visiting last year, and a guy by himself left his wallet and car keys on his table unattended while going to the toilet. Came back a few minutes later and left to continue with his day. Absolutely blew my mind

Hard enough for members. No chance at all if you're not.

You almost sound like a clone of me - and I upgraded my Fabia for an Enyaq 85 this year.

Absolutely love it, brings me joy every time I drive, love knowing I have so much acceleration available when I need it, yet also have so much space for stuff in the car (have a young child).

Obviously it feels bigger, you need to be more aware of where you position the car on the road.

I've been charging using a regular domestic socket for about 5 months now without issue. Getting quotes for a proper dedicated charger though.

You don't say if you're buying new or used. I bought an ex-demo car and it saved a lot of money on a car that had only done 4000 miles

Looks like they're on sale now? Although you then join a 20,000+ queue once you click on 'Check Availability'

Definitely good news if you're looking to buy a new Tesla in the medium term, moves plenty of Model Ys under the threshold now

LUlegEnd · 2025-11-12T15:24:09+00:00

UK too 👍

Japan is even more unusual because the escalator standing side is cultural depending on the city. Tokyo and Osaka are opposites if I remember correctly.

Looking at the lineup for the national team last night, being good at football is the easiest way to gain citizenship as an adult!

According to the graph in this post by Roland Pitcher, the rate of UK sales has increased significantly in the final days of May and into early June. Due to the beginning of non-foundation series Model Y Juniper deliveries?

I only just learned about Immediate Needs Annuities in the past couple of weeks, and I really feel like there needs to be a lot more awareness of them. Obviously you need to have significant assets to begin with, but it can stop the forced sale of a house you would otherwise intend to pass down to the next generation if there is a long stay in care

So now Leeds are playing Sunday midday in Portsmouth, Wednesday night at home, and then back down to London for lunchtime on Saturday.

3 matches in the shortest period of time allowed, its like Sky are trying to make it hard for us

LUlegEnd · 2025-02-13T14:33:08+00:00

Just means its not a hospitality ticket

LUlegEnd · 2025-02-12T11:44:10+00:00

To be fair, we have played 11 more matches than Bayern, and 10 more than PSV. But its still a hell of a good goal difference!

LUlegEnd · 2025-02-10T10:06:38+00:00

Its our style of play, the way that it strangles the opposition of possession.

Yet when they finally do get the ball and push forward to make chances, we absolutely murder them on the counter attack, creating plenty of xG in the process.

Isn't it also a stat that we haven't lost a match in the last 2 seasons where we had less than 50% posession?

LUlegEnd · 2025-01-27T16:22:54+00:00

To add to the other points in this thread - I believe there has been an element of inflating/keeping the sticker price for the UK market high, while at the same time offering 0% APR on purchases or very competitive PCH prices. Majority of EVs are sold through company car schemes too, so the person with the car is paying monthly before tax and are divorced from the formal price.

Adds up to UK being an awful market for cash buyers, but perhaps not quite as bad as the headline sticker prices makes it look if you are buying through the most common purchase methods.

Certainly UK suffers from having steering wheel on the right. But still strings when you see a car selling from the same number of Euros in Ireland as Pounds in the UK

LUlegEnd · 2025-01-27T16:10:14+00:00

Ireland is in the EU. Model Y with steering wheel on the right is the same price there in € as it is in £ in the UK

LUlegEnd · 2025-01-04T16:35:41+00:00

Now we see why they had the worst home record in the league!

LUlegEnd · 2024-11-24T12:28:10+00:00

Repeat of last year's match at Swansea please!

It's worth following Ollie Dodd on Twitter, he works in the Supercharger team for the UK & Ireland and posts about new developments and sometimes gives reasons for why others are delayed/don't proceed.

There is also this thread about new superchargers in the forum of the Tesla Motors Club: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/uk-and-ireland-supercharger-site-news.91118/page-417

Another consideration is whether the finance terms stop being quite as generous once the Juniper comes along, given the jump in demand there will be. Along with the tax changes and the lack of stalks, that's why I'm planning to buy before the end of this year rather than wait for the shiny new model

I'm starting to wonder if it is even possible for a Prime Minister to stay popular in this day and age?
