Well there isn't a petrol station in the ring. You have to leave and go refuel at one of the near by garages.

However, there are Tesla superchargers at the ring.

So I'm thinking the refuelling time is going to be at least similar...

Oh and the Tesla range and charging speed can only get better as we go on, like the 600mile range Roadster 2.

Anyone that’s fuelled up at the ring will know it’s an hour trip at many times of the day

I wouldn’t be surprised if you have to buy the Tesla stuff for the software option to be unlocked.

Uh. That would make it an expensive and incovinient "license dongle".

Surprised no one has done a drop in cf panel for the roof glass

Yeah, that would be ideal. Probably fairly tricky though given the size of the panel and the NVH requirements the typical customers will have.

Not according to all the youtubers who were at the tesla event.

BTW, has anyone ever figured out if the calipers on the cars are shared with any existing car?

Fronts are, rears not.

We will see...

How many referrals you got lately, I’ve 4 in the last week or so... that’s how much I hate Tesla, what I don’t do is believe everything I read, I form my own opinion

Good to see Tesla wipers in the UK current working as well as normal





Luckily for Tesla the UK is as dry as

1. California

2. California

3. California

4, None of the above.

That's due to the camera having a rolling shutter.

When there's a car out there that's comparable to the Model 3 that isn't at least twice the price (Taycan) then I'll maybe give a st. Until then, I think I'll put up with these foibles to have the EV car experience.

Precisely this!

Aeroblade wipers are not new and occasionally fail. I had one do similar at 170+ down the autobhan, no one died but I did crap a diamond.

Its a waiting game unfortunately.

All this talk about "track packs " being a bargain .

Save yourselves some money - buy a Play Station and Gran Turismo - very similar to tracking an electric car I'd imagine and a tad cheaper when the skill runs out ....

Or buy a Tesla, park up and play the excellent racing game using the steering controls to move on screen.

Bit more expensive than a PS2 but you get to be a member of the socially acceptable club.

Any details or pointers appreciated if you care to share. I'm still wondering if something from Endless or CL fits.

Endless have made some but wouldn't ship to the UK when I asked. Maybe you could buy them from the U.S but I gave up with them and they are $780 for a F&R set apparently, which is a bit steep.

I don't think CL are making them, but I haven't spoken to them.

It's a question of searching around all the pad manufacturers to see what they have.

Had a message that says my delivery is being brought forward by a month - Getting it next Friday!

Congratulations

Not sure who told you delivery would be in April because everyone I've spoken to has said that after March deliveries that's it until May/June.
