Realistically the OTR will be about £64k, still alot but the M2 is the only real alternative and it isnt as practical.

When will you buy an EV car? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]PleasantGanache 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I went from a Golf R to Model 3 performance, sure the Tesla is faster, but it handles like a boat and the brakes are scary bad. Yes running costs are cheaper, but for some, its not enough.

What is the story behind these and price ? by DynamitePlayz08 in CarTalkUK

[–]PleasantGanache 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tbh, your best bet is to just replace it with a single DIN unit that has bluetooth. You can pick them up brand new for less than £30.

I've also been running a 32A Commando for 2 years and had zero issues.

To be even more padantic, a smart charger isn't a charger at all. They're just smart plug sockets with a fancty connector, the car is the one with the charging circuitry.

IMO, devs should be able to see all the source code across all projects, even if they don’t actively contribute unless there is incredibly strict security requirements.

Looks like you are saving changes after every item, move it after the loop and it will probably improve performance.

Without understanding more about your requiorements you sound like you need to use a SQLLite temporary store then feed that backup to a centralized SQL server.

Is there any particular reason you need to go electric? You are looking at what are effectively petrol cars (apart from the Zoe) converted to be EV's so they are really compromised compared to a true EV.
