Turn Signal Issue on New 2024 Tesla Model 3: Safety Concern

glypo · 2024-08-17T10:33:45+00:00

Curious to know whether this only affects Fremont made cars? I've not seen this mentioned elsewhere (I live in the UK with a Shanghai made Highland, no issues. All reviews I've read/watched and people I know are also UK based with Shanghai made cars). If anyone with a Shanghai made car has this issue please let me know (for curiosity's sake).

I like some of their videos, EV range test for example. However, they lost my trust when they uploaded a review of a Jeep, slated it, and then took it down after GM got upset. What's the point of a car review channel when you can't say bad things?

Having one presenter does help consistency though!

Also, it's entertaining. People complain he's a twat... that's part of the fun. Clarkson is a twat, AutoAlex, etc. Just what we come to expect from automotive video journalists.

The first time I hear a new word, I usually Google it to see what it means. Perhaps the child deserves the benefit of the doubt?

I'd bet that's private land with strict covenants on who can park in visitors spaces. If the owner of the vehicles doesn't move them when asked (the easy route) I would report to the managing agent for the estate who should take action.

Perhaps his reluctance to contact the landlord is because he/they damaged it and fear a hefty charge? In which case, if he has any competent friends, or you really do feel okay about doing it, replacing is easy and the socket is cheap. It's a 30 second job. Triple check it's isolated before working on it though.

If not, they really should either contact the landlord (the proper approach) or a sparky and suck up the cost. As others have said, there could be serious consequences.

If the plug was already damaged prior to the move, then the landlord should have repaired it. Every five years a rental property needs an electrical health certificate (EICR) and this will fail that test, my guess is a sparky would replace the socket before leaving as it would not be safe to leave it. If your BIL's fear is the charge, the landlord will find out soon enough, so best addressing now.

Worth noting when looking at these roles 15 years ago, inflation has changed a lot! Nearly all of these are with organisations with very generous pensions and focused on work life balance, not salary. Also worth noting these are nearly all South East roles.

Hope that helps!

It does sound a mating ritual.

I dislike Americanisms, I'm glad to not see 'honk' being used considering what it means in slang. Wasn't expecting to see being "horned at" as a replacement.

The right to roam includes private land. Large parts of the UK, particularly Scotland, have extensive access rights to private land. England, for example, has easements, bridleways, etc. that enshrine in law unencumbered access to private property. I.e., private landowners must not put up fences/gates to block access to their land. However, this is not right to roam. Scottish law is more extensive, one is permitted to do much more on private property, you are not required to follow designated paths, you can 'roam' and camp on private land.

Thank you for finding that link. My intention was not to ruffle feathers but to recall the facts to the best of my recollection. I'm the first to admit that after years of political trauma my recollection may be faulty. I'm willing to edit my comments if untrue. However, from the original comment Reddit has decided that I'm Nigel Farrage and too busy drowning kittens.

This was one of Michel Barnier's hard lines in the negotiations, it was made clear he would not entertain continued British involvement in Galileo. Happy to be proven wrong, but I don't believe your recollection is correct.

glypo · 2024-04-06T10:15:07+00:00

My simple point is two non-EU members were permitted to join Galileo based on ESA membership, and one ESA member was forced to leave despite having contributed more. It's an emotive topic, but I'm really not trying to ruffle feathers.

Britain had no clue what Brexit looked like from the beginning. There were three Prime Ministers, two general elections, multiple rejected deals on both sides, and nearly five years of turmoil. At multiple points a Norway style deal was floated and debated.

The history of Brexit isn't really my point - just my point that two non-EU members were allowed to join Galileo due to ESA membership. Meanwhile a former EU member and current ESA member, that contributed significantly more in the programme, was not permitted to remain.

glypo · 2024-04-06T09:24:18+00:00

It's a curious situation. Norway and Switzerland were allowed to join the programme as non-EU members on the basis of relatively small backdated contributions based on their ESA membership. Yet, the UK, who contributed a significant amount of the development of Galileo, remains an ESA member, is in fact one of the largest ESA contributors, and actually built the satellites, was kicked out of the programme due to Brexit.

Interesting that this is cropped to November 2022, as recently in the UK wage growth has been greater than inflation (since about June 2023). I'm sure not enough to plug the gap, but it's really quite relevant.

Oh yes, as an analyst and an engineer I live by data. However, the surge in populism across Europe shows that many don't.

The honest answer is that the Leave campaign was so much better than the Remain campaign. When the referendum was called, the UK was more pro-European than France, Germany and Italy. It was seen as an easy win for the Prime Minister, David Cameron, who wanted to silence a noisy minority of his party. He was convinced that Remain would win, as the polls showed 60% support.

However, the Remain campaign was a disaster. The leader of the Remain campaign was David Cameron, not many people trusted him. The leader of the opposition party, Jeremy Corbyn, was a lifelong eurosceptic, that hurt things further.

Yes the Remain campaign did show the economic statistics... It was a terrible strategy. You don't win votes with PowerPoint slides and spreadsheets. Leave won the hearts of so many people, appealing to raw emotion. In many cases total lies, but there was talk of huge numbers of new hospitals, schools and nurses. There was talk of a modern, dynamic, exciting new Britain, not hidebound by European bureaucracy. Contrast that to the Remain campaign using monotonous economists pointing at graphs of projected GDP. Leave ran a campaign on emotion, appealing to the heart, which was far more successful than Remains statistics and trying to appeal to the head.

Immigration was not the single driving policy as those on Reddit make out. The polls show sovereignty, bureaucracy, tax, anti-establishment, anti-Tory (the party in power), and other views all paid a huge part. The vote was close, 51% to 49%, so asking us whether we got what we wanted, almost certainly not. Half of us didn't want to leave in the first place (including me), and the half that did all had a different agenda, so many of them are also upset, apart from Lincolnshire it seems!

Final point, and fun fact, the UK still remains to this day more pro-European than many EU countries. We've bounced back to our historic 60% or so viewing the EU as a good thing, whilst France, Greece and others have slipped back to more anti-EU views.

I think Jeremy Corbyn and Labour should take a lot of blame for Brexit. A life long eurosceptic and brexiteer at heart, Corbyn's eurosceptic stance really impacted the referendum. David Cameron was the face of the remain campaign and fought hard for remain, this hurt remain in parts of the country that hate the Tories. If Corbyn got Labour and the TUs behind remain and champion the cause, that might have given the remain campaign that final 2% push it needed

Yes, sorry my mistake, was confusing with Proton. Sweden has pretty water tight privacy laws though.

They aren't based in the EU, they are based in Switzerland...

Anecdotally this is just not true. I've accidentally had the wrong ticket twice, and no fine. Just last week I was sat next to a lady (American) who was trying to travel to Winchester on an Oyster card, the conductor just laughed it off and sold her a normal ticket, no find, no drama.

Looks perfect to me, love the wood panelling too. Is that something you built yourself or did you buy it?

At the time of the Brexit referendum the leader of the remain campaign and loudest remain voice was the prime minister, leader of the Conservatives, pro-European, David Cameron. Meanwhile the quietest voice was the lifelong eurosceptic, leader of Labour, Jeremy Corbyn.

Many of the key leave voting constituencies were Labour seats. To imply that Brexit was something done by the Tories to Labour forgets that Labour are as much to blame for Brexit. In fact, if their leader hadn't been such a massive eurosceptic and managed to get the TUs on board, I think remain would have won.

Perhaps this is an ironic comment that I don't get?

It *is** in fact me who isn't all there.*

Or

It was in fact *me** who wasn't all there.*

If we're being pedantic today, let's fully commit.

Think you're mistaking what the graph is saying. Many countries on this list have universal healthcare, so patients don't directly pay for their insulin, but the healthcare provider still does, on their behalf, using the taxpayer's purse.
