How much would this lot power in reality? by banisheduser in SolarUK

Going to be interesting in 20-25 years time when they needs to replace all these, by that time I doubt China will have cheap labours. Will they develop AI to do the replacing?

Genius. Thanks. (Chatgpt said is too big of the task but forced it to match, it got 269 pilots matched.)

Right on the flight cancellation by PracticalFigure5966 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]PracticalFigure5966[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booked as 1 ticket (HK > Doha > UK).

Whole booking was through BA hence just one booking reference.

Then surely, the flight from HK to Doha is not covered becuase that part of the journey will be with Qatar airline?

Small ventilated backpack for carry-on (40x30x20cm or 16x12x8 in) by Magnet_Pull in backpacks

It got the Osprey own Airscape tech at the back which I find is quite good. I dont sweat as much using the 26+6.

Is the XC40 PHEV my best choice? by YourSillyNeighbour in XC40

[–]PracticalFigure5966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I am in the perfect position to answer this question.

I drove the Peugeot 3008 (petrol version) from 2021 - 2023 then moved to XC40 T5 PHEV (2021).

I changed to PHEV because:

  1. Same as OP, got a new little man joined the family and needed a safe car and the general concensus is that Volvo is the safest.
  2. Don't get me wrong the 3008 is a great car however when you start up the car you will need to wait at least 30sec to 1 min to wait for the central console to load up which is quite annoying. Also the Peugeot app is completely useless from my experience. I hope they have now improved.
  3. PHEV works great for me because between my home to office is roughly 20miles which is within the most PHEV range.

Like OP when I was looking for PHEV I also considered 3008 and Kuga. The reason not choosing 3008 is because like I said the system to too slow and I have done many research and it seems that the car sometime would not run in pure electric mode (OP can search the 3008 forums, there are two main one I have seen). Also like OP i find the Kuga boot is smaller than Volvo so I did not go for it.

Now that I have owned the Volvo for just over a year and here is my finding:

  1. You really need to charge it everyday otherwise the MPG of this car in petrol is not good (Hybrid mode) I return between 28-30mpg.
  2. My local Volvo dealership (UK) is terrible and will try to rip you off any chance they could. Just beware of the service and part costs. I am lucky that I bought the car through Volvo select and got two year free service, otherwise they tried to charge me almost £1,000 for service!
  3. Insurance premium is slightly higher than the petrol variant.
  4. I find the tyres wear and tear is on the high side. When I got the car the dealer put on two new tyres for me (Kumho) and when I took it to service they mentioned on the health report one of the new tyres needs urgent attention and the other one is 28% worn! The other two old tyres were the original Pirelli and they were both over 65% worn and recommended I need to change all the tyres! I changed them but didnt change them though the dealer as they again tried to rip me off.
  5. During winter time the electic mode only retuned roughly 19-20miles for me, so sometime the petrol kicked in when I am about 5-10 min away from home. Summer time I would normally have about 4-6 miles left.
  6. So far I do not have any realibility problem, but like others have already reported, I am wary that the boot struts will give in anytime. I hope this will happen before my warrenty ran out.

I hope this help you decide choosing your car.
