    The EV fact thread

    Also non-scientific observation, my trip to work involves a 20 mile stretch of motorway or a 30 mile stretch of dual carriageway (depending upon route), so I do either 40 or 60 miles per day of multi lane NSL driving. It’s very rare to see a car travelling at noticeably more than 70 mph. Most...

    AMG GTR Tyre Scrub at low speed.

    The Cup 2’s will skip during low-speed near-full lock manoeuvres and will worse as the tread blocks wear and temperatures fall. Completely normal. Cup 2s are great tyres, but they’re compromised on the road unless driving very hard l, for a long time, on a warm, dry, summer’s day.

    Truly, they walk amongst us....

    This evening I was filling up with petrol, and spotted a towing loop dragging on the ground in front of a very plain looking Audi A4. It stood out as being unusual because the car was completely standard and it was dragging on the floor. As I walked back to my car from the kiosk I took a very...

    The EV fact thread

    It’s not a coincidence, it’s by design. That’s the reason for the quotas and associated penalties exist.

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    Unfortunately I (i) wouldn’t be valid in that position. I’d say DUB11N is perhaps the closest.

    New EQS 2025 Facelift - Return Of The Upright Star & Classic Grill

    In the UK, expensive new cars have depreciated heavily in their first few years for decades. Losing 30-40% against list price on an S-Class would have been normal in say 2019. The supply chain issues over more recent years triggered the used car market to go into overdrive, temporarily...

    Advice regarding driving to France and Switzerland

    Maybe. Maybe not. The only way in which I can see that there will be a difference will be in the range and charging rate, because exterior styling, interior, infotainment are not really any different to an ICE car. Range and charging rate will continue to improve over time but that won’t be...

    Advice regarding driving to France and Switzerland

    I really wouldn’t worry too much about there only being 780 high speed charging sites compared to 8,500 fuel forecourts then.

    Advice regarding driving to France and Switzerland

    You’re thinking of it as an ICE owner though. There are plenty of other high speed chargers, however if you regularly need to cover very long distances - and wish/need to drive an EV - then the Tesla is the ideal choice, and hence why they’re so popular, and why some rack up serious mileages in...

    Très fantastisch as the Spanish say. I like that a lot.

    F1 2024

    They are well known to explore the outer limits of interpretation of the rules - and do it with bravado - so I can understand why some people think that. However they’re doing it - by cheating or simply by being the best - they’re doing it well.
