Think it's $55k in US, I like the new face of the model3 and those wheels but yep too many other Tesla compromises, for me Hyundai 5 N looks to be a better bet for fast, playful and practical EV, just for the accessible boot and simple things like stalks, a screen in front of you, 360 camera and...

Banger costs should be simple, average out historical costs to a monthly amount and use that going forward, if you are lucky like me and run a massively reliable Italian banger (yes really ) it’ll be cheap, if it’s like my dodgy Japanese motor ( It’s not bad really, track car, spends most of its...

All up and working, well sort of, it was quite easy following that guide, the only issue I have at the moment is that it won't fully charge my car as it has the wrong battery size configured as it configures charging slots based on charging speed and how much you want/need, my car was not on the...

Yup, this bad boy it's a struggle to move away from to be honest as the integration frees up slots that can be used for pass through to VMs and extra add ins. obviously the integration leads to lower power over all vs having all that stuff with add in cards but happy to drop to 10Gb link, its...

5950 is quite efficient and powerful in Eco mode to be fair even with capped all core clock speed, but I don't need all the cores there as I have split out some stuff to what was a redundancy NAS, I have a low 35w TDP chip to switch in, can't remember if it is 4650 or 5650 to scale it down in...

They really should have kept it under 40k in the UK.

For a NAS it's always going to be about complete system tuning and if running dockers its rarely going to be doing nothing, I originally built mine around a 3400g in a b450, it wasn't bad, idle load was about 33w for full system running a few NICs for router and a load of HDDs, with maxxed...

About to sign up to Intelligent Octopus Go, it's not really clear to me what I need to do, to get this to work on the Zappi side, do I just leave in full fast charger mode and Octopus will sort it out or do I still need to setup a schedule for off peak hours as the sign up tells me to turn off...

This should come with the car/

Get a smart wall box now, the RAV4 has a fastish 6.6Kw on board charger, assuming new, think older might be 3.6 and it has a large battery allowing you to charge in 2.5 hours, pretty much useful for any off peak window at home, whereas using the granny you’d be looking at a 7-8hr charge, the...

Nice compact size, rear end looks a bit challenging to my eyes but this is the Alfa version of the Avenger, so no rwd/awd which is a shame but should be decent value.

Managing hills is just a function of what weight, power, torque and gearing you have and that it is, some of the hills down south used to be a right struggle for me with 130bhp/220lbft, this had to scream and I could barely hit 50!!! :o got better with 180bhp/300lbsft now with 455bhp/523lbsft...

They've significantly upped the power of the motor, I doubt they have managed to make the motor that much more efficient to compensate so I'd imagine its going to pull more out of the battery to perform but your efficiency is great, if it was the same ballpark mpkw range that'd still be pretty...

To be honest I'm not sure I was off in visiting the conveniences, I suspect my BMW fan boy mates might have had something to do with it. Not sure if they has got any bigger but a 2015 Xtrail is not very wide inside, even sat up front I feel like I am cozying up to my mate when driving but as...

AAOS (Google) is quite nice really, having the car as a connected device in Google is useful, particularly when touring, you can plan on your big screen tablet/PC etc, and just send it to the car and it sorts it all out, integrates with car systems etc, better than using Carplay/Android Auto...

In other news Fisker is desperate to make some money and servere discounts are available on their cars in stock, 40k for the big battery extreme, do you feel lucky punk :eek: I really like the look of the car, shame it seems so troubled. Bottom of the email offer is very reassuring 'Due to...

The global impact is not my concern really, nothing done here is going to change other parts of the world, bares no relation to the UK, plenty of papers on GHG from ONS and gov uk that paint a picture for here and for transport not much has changed since the 90s biggest impact on that was when...

Personal car emissions are a drop in the ocean in reality, it's very a small piece of a much bigger problem, far too much time and energy is wasted focusing on this miniscule detail as it's an easy one to target.

65% Increase for me today too, £800 :(

How big are the kids, the rear bench is not a proper seat as there is a small transmission bump, so middle seat is not best in the car but I tested my car for a trip with 5 120kg adults and it was tolerable for a couple of hours if you're good friends. :D Boot is pretty big if you don't use...
