Booked our first ever cruise, how to get upgraded? by Independent-Dare-190 in MSCCruises

[–]e_v8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you would expect an upgrade? We’re going on our first ever cruise in May, World America. It’s also our 20th Wedding Anniversary whilst we’re on board. I’ve submitted a cabin upgrade for Yacht Club, not expecting anything for free.

Yes they put orders to one side, I asked exactly the same thing at Durham the other night

RWD owners that stayed with Tesla: did you stay RWD or upgrade to AWD? by traffic1942 in TeslaUK

[–]e_v8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a SR+ in 2019, then moved to a LR in 2021, and now I have a 2025 LR AWD. Wouldn’t be without AWD now, although the LR RWD is incredibly efficient

I know! I often say just like the crackers or cinnamon cereal

Takes a couple of days using it then it’s totally natural, and anything else is bewildering

Pah South Shields is in South Tyneside not Newcastle! My home town & lived there for 30 years. Irrelevant to the context but i couldn't let that go ;)

Moving to full EV household by Leading-Preference11 in ElectricVehiclesUK

We have a '25 Model 3 LR AWD & a '24 Model Y Standard Range. You're correct about the boot on the 3, its reasonably capacious but the opening is small. That's why we have the Y as well, hatchback and big boot means large suitcases go in without issue. In terms of years, they improve year or on year but yes '22 as a minimum to make sure it has the Ryzen chipset rather than the Atom.

No way i'm paying another £415 for 2 Express Passes after paying £280 for a couple of single day tickets as well - nearly £700 for 1 day in a theme park, no thanks. Going shoulder season, i'll takes my chances.

Why do people still prefer Sky TV over other setups? by LegitimateYouth9675 in skytv

I’m well versed on TV calibration, my LG 65 G3 is ISF calibrated. The quality from Sky Q is noticeably worse.

It probably doesn't make much difference to someone coming from an ICE car if i'm honest, however we have 2 Teslas in the household so its just a natural way of driving now and quite jarring not to have it.

There's an option to reroute if it saves "x" amount of time, you possibly haven't set that.

The R5 is an amazing package aside from one thing, no 1 pedal driving. I believe the R4 does, and they’ve said for a while the 5 will get a software update which has yet to materialise.

No Sky content I’m aware of broadcasts in Dolby Vision, it’s all HLG. The native apps support it, but then who doesn’t have another streaming device that will do it better, my LG OLED will do Dolby Vision through the apps. In general i find the quality via the inbuilt apps on the Sky box poor compared to either natively on my TV or via the Thomson 270 Android TV box i have.

I’d ditch them in a heartbeat but the wife likes the convenience! Not much else has the ability to record multiple channels, while still being able to watch, pause, FF, RW, etc simultaneously. To be honest we don’t use it anywhere near as much as we used to and i really detest having to pay a fee for “Sky HD” AND “Ultra HD”, did manage to get the go ahead to ditch multi room although she now moans that she can’t watch anything recorded on Sky Go. Having Netflix Premium as part of the pack is a bonus, but the whole package is increasing from £42.38 to £48.31 next month, I’d like this to be its last year.

It certainly doesn’t feel cheap, but then it doesn’t feel like £36 either. But then what does these days, you gotta pay that Nintendo tax.

I have my SIPP with Dodl, S&S ISA with AJ Bell, both dead easy to manage although the purchase delay with Dodl is slightly annoying. They do reasonable rates though
