    8p/mile - have I got this right ?

    Just thinking about how much our holiday fuel cost. 1000 mile trip. £80 worth of public charger network ( mostly Tesla member rates) = 8p / mile ?? Seems reasonable.

    Anyone 'done' Windermere / the Lake District, UK?

    So, I may have wisely or unwisely just booked a week in Staveley, not far from Windermere in early August for this years annual hol. Never been to the lakes before, always wanted to.

    Physiological effects of magnetic fields

    Think I know why they're so insistent on assists being activated by default. You might think your reaction times are better or more accurate now, but give it a few thousand miles ( and don't sit in the vehicle whilst charging ) ? - mostly tongue in cheek but has anyone spotted a speeding up of...
