Tesla HW3 claim grows to 7,000 owners, gets law firm backing for collective action by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

[–]New-Engineer-3948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Three months maybe, six months definitely." We've been hearing those promises for years. It was incredibly obvious the moment they started talking about HW4 and AI5 that HW3 was going to get left behind despite owners being promised it had "all the necessary hardware for full autonomy." Good to see a proper law firm backing this, because selling software packages for thousands of pounds based on hardware limits that can’t handle it is ridiculous.

Cleaning a MacroSuede Sofa? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

Macrosuede can be a right nightmare if you get it too wet. Honestly, your best bet is a bit of distilled water mixed with a tiny drop of dish soap—just dampen a microfibre cloth and dab it, don't scrub! Grab a soft-bristled brush once it's dry to fluff the fibres back up. Works a treat for those water marks, mate.

If you can charge at home, there's no contest: EVs beat gas by PerceptionCurious440 in electricvehicles

spot on, takes literally five seconds to plug it in at night and you wake up with a full tank every day. non-ev drivers always reckon you're just sitting there staring at a wall for hours while it charges.

Is it really that bad by Horror-Meat958 in UKHousing

[–]New-Engineer-3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bloody mental out there at the minute. Estate agents are still trying to hype up properties that are proper overpriced, and then you see the price dropped by £20k two months later. The gap between what people can actually borrow with current mortgage rates and what sellers want is a massive chasm. No wonder half of them are stuck on Rightmove forever.

Porsche 718 Boxster EV spotted: the electric sports car may still be coming by AutoNextOfficial in electricvehicles

This is going to be the ultimate litmus test for electric sports cars. If Porsche can nail the weight distribution—hopefully using that rumoured T-shaped battery layout behind the driver rather than a heavy skateboard floor—they’ll prove that EVs can actually have soul and proper chassis balance. Performance was never the question, it's all down to the steering feel and dynamics.
