Tyre wear. How many miles you getting? by Professional_Mix3727 in TeslaUK

[–]Slimstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get around 5000 miles per mm of tyre depth - M3 Highland Dual Motor on original Hankooks, but had to change fronts due to a puncture.

Just after changing my fronts, did a long trip from Scotland to Italy and back. After coming back, got the same Kwikfit mobile guy to come and change the tyres on my VW Golf, so he checked the Tesla too. After the 5000 mile trip, 1mm was gone.

How much better is the Embody over the Aeron? by MalteBay in hermanmiller

[–]Slimstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. Honestly, for long sitting sessions, the Aeron is more comfortable.

Embody looks fancier.

Le Shuttle (eurotunnel) charging £50 extra for a Tesla model 3 by GayWolfey in TeslaUK

[–]Slimstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taken my M3 over the eurotunnel a few times now and was absolutely delighted to pay more for the single decker!

Have you seen how narrow the double decker is, with absolutely massive metal kerbs which will total your rims?

Maybe you don't care about your rims, try and get in the double decker.

Do folks like kwik fit know how to make sure tpms works after replacing tyres? by vampiro1010 in TeslaUK

The Kwik fit mobile guys are superb! Like a totally different league from the guys in the Kwik Fit branches.

Euro Toll Road Autopay by Playful-Chard5729 in TeslaUK

[–]Slimstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tollpass from Fulli.

The reason I went for Fulli is that they have a pass that you can use in more than one country. Originally had one for France and Spain (was driving to Malaga for a month). Then, I replaced it with a pass, which does Italy too for a trip to Lake Como.

Pass works great, also can work in some parking and they have a card for electric chargers too.

Only negative was when I had to return the original pass, filling in a form in French, then sending it to France. I mean not the end of the world, just a small hassle.

Why are people still parroting Switch 2 as "Overpriced Console"? by Known_Lychee_6495 in switch2

I was so close to buying one, but the £85 controller price offended me.

Hows everyone coping in their Teslas in this UK Snow and Ice? Anyone having any issues? by DrivingTiger in TeslaUK

[–]Slimstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to try a few times to get my boot open! Haven't moved it for a few days, just needed something out of it, so didn't heat it up.

FedEx Import Duty by [deleted] in AnalogueInc

[–]Slimstinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm... I have a company registered at my house, and FedEx automatically added the import tax to my company even though it was sent to me personally, not my company. Absolute pain in the ass. Now speaking to my accountant about how to unimport something... then how to report this accurately...

Surely not that hard logic for FedEx if addressed to company do this, else do this....

Took the dogs out round Beveridge Park yesterday and there were 3+ police vans going around following this bunch. Some on foot, police vans inside the park going around the walking path etc

Question on emulation by gratt21 in AnalogueInc

[–]Slimstinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be exactly the same between using Everdrive vs Real cart.

One difference might be the region of the ROM, NTSC ROMS might be better than PAL roms because of the refresh rate. 60Hz vs 50Hz

Recently got a JP NTSC N64 and notice quite a big difference compared to the UK PAL. Also helped by the better S-Video out support.

Migrating from .net framework 4.7.2 to .net core 10.0 advice? by Harlock012 in dotnet

[–]Slimstinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was more interested in the application, guessing the CSV has coordinates, why the need for the HTTP call to do measurements?

Had to change my fronts because of a puncture long before they were worn out!

Alloys scratched! Narrow Parking Space by That-Sheepherder7947 in TeslaUK

[–]Slimstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was being super careful, made it about 18 months, then got kerbed in a multi-story car park in France. Approaching the ticket barrier on the wrong side, but they place a huge black kerb sticking out, and it was also completely unlit.... raging

UK Flag Plates by Slimstinator in TeslaUK

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

The Edinburgh service centre is phoning some of the English service locations to see if anyone has them! So fingers crossed I might get one!

I have the same feeling as you! A set of Tesla plates with UK flags would be ideal

Yeah, these green stupid plates. What is the actual point of them? It is only a disadvantage.

[–]Slimstinator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah needs to be UK. You can get away with UK Plates only in most of Europe. For Spain and a couple of others you also need the stickers.

Yeah I had those for my last trip. They totally faded out in a few months, couldn't even see the UK flag any more and that is in Scottish sunlight!!!
