I found this podcast series quite interesting, gives some good insight into how people became billionaires and what they’re doing with it.

Cazoo is in administration now, if it’s any consolation.

They are certainly a sight to behold, and feel! 😂

It depends on the battery chemistry but the Ioniq 6 is Li-ion I think that likes to be in the ‘Goldilocks zone’ for optimal long life. However, most modern EVs have top and bottom buffers so that the...

It might have changed now, but international post was always covered off by a ‘you deliver ours and we’ll deliver yours’ type agreement, at least between nations with recognisable postal systems....

For sure.

Not sure where Rimac are going with that statement?

After 2035, they won’t be selling any new ICE ones in the EU unless things change.

Still, Hypercar sales are a niche within a niche, so not...

I’m sure he’ll love it, I liked my ID.3 1st Edition I picked up in lockdown 2020.

Make sure it’s running software 3.2 if it isn’t already, VW tweaked a few things including raising the battery...

No, and thank goodness.



I hope that we, as in the UK, take any opportunity to build Chinese EVs here, and jobs are created in the dealer networks and battery hot swap facilities (Nio) as...

It’s not just pebble sized, dust particles already batter satellites etc when they’re traveling fast enough.

But, it’s all just the Universe as we understand it, civilizations millions of years...

Well, as apparently we can’t talk politics in the G&D, I was restricting myself to the consumer impacts of such a decision.

I’d imagine and agree it’s precisely short term protectionism at work,...

It is also, as usual, very Tesla centric. Like the uptake of EVs depends on the success of one EV manufacturer with a limited and aging model range. There are some very compelling models out there...

For the last few years I’ve been helping a friend maintain her 6 figure mileage 12+ year old Kia Sorrennto.

We’ve done various bits and pieces, mainly suspension replacements incl dampers and drop...

I don’t think it means any of that, indeed reports are that the team is being stood up again, albeit with fewer numbers.

The local chips away franchise holder did some paint on my wife’s Tesla sill after she scraped it. £200 quid, and it was a great job, probably better than the original paint! :-)

There’s no...

The glass isn’t bullet proof, just the stainless steel bodywork, and then ‘only’ 9mm or so.

You seem to have an obsession with these things,...

True!



Also true! :-D

I’m not trying to excuse Tesla’s behaviour or shoddy build quality in any area, just to be clear, and I've always had an issue with Tesla calling their driver assistance features ‘autopilot’. In the...

No, it doesn’t, but just as an example I accept multi million £ aircraft into service as part of my job, and they all have faults from brand new.

Doesn’t make it ok, it’s just reality with any...

Possibly/maybe, I just think if you look/tear down anything hard enough you’ll find something wrong with everything. It does a lot of stuff right too.

To avoid doubt, I still think the cyber...

Has anything so crap ever got so much attention? Manna from Heaven for YouTubers, and ammo for anti-Tesla/Musk folk…

We just don’t seem to get the same attention around the latest Toyota RAV4 or...

This, really. People don’t need to worry about Ford, it’s not like they worry about us.

Doesn’t really help that Ford’s EV offerings aren’t very compelling, unless you’re in the market for a £50k+ Mach-e, an F-150 pickup or a transit van.

They’ve got the Ford Explorer released soon,...

I’ve got a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, it’s pretty small an unobtrusive and the App works well. You can also operate it/set timers via Bluetooth as well so you’re not relying on Cloud Services etc.

Well, it is the Cotswolds!

I think really, just like Top Gear, you need to put aside 100% realism and remember that it’s meant to be entertainment rather than a documentary about farming, many of...
