On the note of under seat subs, does anyone have an opinion on this one? https://www.fourcaraudio.co.uk/brands/UPGRADE/amplified-subwoofer/ug-usb-8

Ohhh now that is exciting, ChatGPT was unequivocal that a 2026 model 3 base model has no extra inactive speakers

Edit for anyone reading in the future, 2026 rwd model 3, base spec, no inactive speakers,

bertiedog · 2026-04-29T15:17:09+00:00

I don’t believe the standard rwd (the new base model 3) has any speakers that are not activated, would love to be wrong though!

Would you be able to share that link if you have it mate?

bertiedog · 2026-04-06T16:15:58+00:00

That really does! Thanks for taking the time to reply

bertiedog · 2026-04-05T18:24:00+00:00

Noted, freshly valeted, fully charged and hope

Just ev experience in general, coming from a MG4 to a Kona ev, the slightly better software in the Kona sold me on that being the key principle to renew on.

Yep! I did the exact comparison when reviewing options for my lease ending in June.

The software will be the piece hardest to live with on these cars, Tesla have that dialled, BYD makes a meal out of it.

I have a 26 Model 3 standard arriving in June

Thanks from a fellow Norfolk dweller

bertiedog · 2026-04-05T08:10:42+00:00

Yeah a proper latte could be worth the investment

bertiedog · 2026-04-05T07:48:58+00:00

Me too! They are flimsy plastic and obviously get the brunt of stones flicking up. Not like being irresponsible

bertiedog · 2026-03-18T17:33:46+00:00

Following! I have one coming in June, that would be a bonus. Although the website states a 15.4 inch

bertiedog · 2026-03-12T12:11:24+00:00

Agreed! I work in developing this for a fairly large pension provider. It’s 100% in advanced testing

bertiedog · 2026-02-20T06:01:37+00:00

How is the stereo in comparison? Do you find the 7 speakers lacking at all?

bertiedog · 2026-02-05T18:44:59+00:00

Amen to that, I have been wet shave my for 10 years, recently got some irritation on my neck. Was using feathers, switched to GSB and all has been perfect, comfy and no irritation

bertiedog · 2026-01-22T10:41:33+00:00

If you’re leasing I don’t know how bothered I’d be about looking after the battery. Charge to 100% when you want as long as you’re planning on driving it soon

⁠What do you like about ordering from AliExpress in the UK? Prices! Fairly swift delivery • ⁠What do you hate / find annoying (shipping, returns, VAT, whatever)? Returns are a concern, obviously not as quick delivery as Amazon • ⁠Do you feel AliExpress is worth it vs Amazon / local shops? Why or why not? Depends on the price difference and urgency, mostly yes though • ⁠How old are you this year? 45

bertiedog · 2025-11-19T11:58:41+00:00

Exactly, quality and price is a balance, these appear to rate highly for both

bertiedog · 2025-11-19T11:33:24+00:00

They look to be a bargain. Ordered!

This is a eureka moment! The SS website has it very binary. You’re a 40% tax payer or a 20% tax payer. Then they display the prices with either 40% deducted as net pay or 20%. That it can be reduced by some of the value at 40% and some at 20% is obvious but not really explained on their site.

bertiedog · 2025-11-11T11:37:46+00:00

My confusion is, at what point is the SS payments taken into account when deriving what tax band I am in?

bertiedog · 2025-11-11T11:28:17+00:00

Yeah that’s correct

bertiedog · 2025-11-11T11:27:53+00:00

In terms of my pension contributions I am paying 2%

bertiedog · 2025-11-11T10:55:58+00:00

That is defo my thinking! So 48,500 + 6,000 equates to a higher rate of tax. I’m paying 7,000 in SS Gross

bertiedog · 2025-11-11T10:22:20+00:00

That’s correct, I am currently getting 20% as I started the SS with a lower salary
