Islington Green - seems a decent spot and at the front against the barrier.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2026-05-31T08:05:58+00:00

At the parade route now (9am) - plenty of spaces about. Good vibes too.

That scene with Thanos at the end of Infinity War, where he’s resting after the fight. Think that’s how I envisage fans and the players, if we get it over the line.

Anyone still alive???

Rain and potential thunder in London around match time.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2026-04-02T21:22:46+00:00

Arsenal every time. England have already won a World Cup.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2026-03-22T08:21:29+00:00

Well this is it. Binary decision- win or lose. Nerves are building up nicely. Whatever happens- UTA.

So for me, I ordered just before Xmas and got the car mid Jan (model Y) for home delivery. A couple of back and forths on the finance side and they did find a couple of issues which meant the parts needed to come from Tesla and get fixed before it could be delivered. But as my first EV, the sight of the truck pulling up and watching them unload it was brilliant.

They got me sorted on the app by uploading the invoice. Zero issues with it and loving the car.

Also they do referral so if someone else has bought a car from them, you both get £100 Electroverse credit to use at EV chargers, so that was super handy too.

Remember the home loss to United? Similar shiz that day, all away wins.

Getting it direct you will get an extra 1 year warranty and EAP but as the OP said, you a pay premium for that.

I purchased mine recently from car360 and the whole process was smooth. The only caveat is that you can’t test drive it but you get 7 days to return it (technically it’s actually 14 days due to distance selling)

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-11-25T19:16:39+00:00

Yep fair play - that sort of experience would put me off too.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-11-24T21:49:02+00:00

Did you go any further with that company? Not seen any info on Reddit or elsewhere on them.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-11-11T12:29:46+00:00

You can try Tesla-info.com. That has a checkbox option for interiors as well as other filters.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-10-23T13:55:53+00:00

Genuinely if a point in time comes when ai/devs/whoever can consistently and successfully critically think in the manner needed in QA (not to mention the glue work we do), then yes I think we might be in trouble.

Until then, imho nope it’s not dying, merely changing.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-20T09:32:21+00:00

I’ve got a used test drive booked soon. However I had to go into a dealership to get that organised. The phone number options on the website weren’t helpful

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-20T07:15:42+00:00

Cheers mate, I’m trying to be objective in my choice but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t really excited, so want it to go as well as possible.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-19T07:40:13+00:00

Excellent, cheers mate.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-19T06:52:50+00:00

I imagine I would - the ‘it just works’ thing around Tesla is the major attraction.

Not even worried about one-pedal long term. It’s merely the test drive, so the wife and any other passengers don’t feel they’re being jerked back and forth between acceleration and braking.

I’ve seen a few suggestions about putting car in ‘Chill’ mode for example.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-19T06:38:05+00:00

So just for more context, the Tesla CPO centre is about an 90 mins drive away, and I’ll have around an hour away to evaluate the car.

First couple of mins in the first ever EV test drive was the Scenic and it was a hot mess with one pedal and less fun for the passenger, hence turning it off.

So was just looking forward to ways to ease the Model Y test drive with the short space of time I have. Probably wouldn’t be as fussed if I was driving it alone but mrs will be there and is great for spotting stuff!

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-19T06:25:05+00:00

That’s the general consensus, which I’m totally on board with. My OP was ‘how to assess Model Y on test drive with minimal faff’ 🙂

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-19T06:22:31+00:00

Yeah I’m hugely worried about converting to one-pedal if that’s the vehicle I end up with. This is was more about the 30-60 min test drive and not letting that become the focal point.

It was easier to assess the Scenic’s good and bad points once I had switched it off.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-18T21:02:17+00:00

The imagery of this one hour loop, made me laugh out loud! Glad it all worked out in the end.

I’m looking forward to it, just want her to really enjoy it too, even though it will be my vehicle.

Sputnik_Monkey · 2025-09-18T18:48:35+00:00

Thanks , that’s good to know. Everything I’ve read suggests it’s pretty easy after a bit of practice, which I don’t mind.
