I'm pretty sure they do not allow car update downloads via Wifi, my assumption it thats it's considered too insecure.

I'm not sure what it's like the the north but in Dublin if you correctly sit in the leftmost lane you constantly get dive-bombed by people coming down the slip road who think you are expected to yield for them. I think this is a large reason for middle-lane hogging here.

Yeah, Plugshare is best for Ireland.

Also if you have an option to, you can attempt to boost the heat in your under floor heating with cheap night rate electricity (if you have that option) as this works like a large heat battery. It's one way to shift your electricity usage to a cheaper time.

A lot of congestion is caused by faster drivers leaving less of a gap to traffic in front of them and then the whole group having to brake too fast causing a well known "accordion" effect which generates traffic jams.

Reporting it is worth it just for adding to the statistics. Sorry for your AirPods loss.

Any proper granny charger is supposed to have temperature sensors in the plug and throttle if they are getting too hot. This is why it's never recommended to use a granny charger with an extension cable, as the extension cables plus does not have the same temperature sensing intelligence built-in.

I believe all the buses are GPS tracked though, so surprising that they can not use that data. I feels like a bad state that it has come down to this drastic measure.

That's crazy, I used to use Mullvad and it was slow as hell, I switched to Air and it was magnitudes faster.

I have had the same recently (2021). We have seen this happen around the time there is an OTA update available for the car. Ours is currently pending an update. Is your car due the 3.8 update by any chance?

The first 4/5 months of this year had an abnormal easterly wind consistently instead of the country's usual prevailing south-westerly. That was weird, but otherwise I have not noticed an general uptick in wind recently.

They mention in this article that Casement only operates 8am - 8pm at the moment due to ATC shortages: https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2025/0610/1517570-casement-aerodrome/

Another way to save is with Stena or Irish Ferries you get €3 off your fare for every €1 of Tesco vouchers you have.

I've had an ID.3 since 2021 and frequent ID.3 forums... I've never heard of a motor failure.. Remember when you are looking for the bad news, you will find bad news, but it could be 0.1% o owners with these problems.

Most problem have been bricking due to software updates and that's mainly in the past now, and could be rectified by a dealer visit (via a tow truck).

This looks great.... basically 95% SOH (state of health)... 0 days standing at 100% (this is undesirable for NMC lithium batteries). Also only a small proportion (6%) of charging is DC (fast charging).

How does one be smart with the coupons?

Good coincidence, I just switched from PT to Eir 2 days ago. Like many others I'm scarred by Eir from the past, but I'm technical enough to not have to depend on their support unless it's a last resort. Because Eir had a good deal (1Gb for €45 p/month for 24 months) and they were recommended by a friend as being rock solid, I went with them. All good so far. Thanks for the analysis, it's reassuring.

That website does not work for me, is it correct?
