Waze is about as far as I go ?

All manner... Have read though if you need a bed time read: https://www.gov.uk//government/publications/home-office-approved-speed-detection-devices-march-2007 Detectors and camera databases/GPS location etc is still technically legal in the UK (perhaps not elsewhere in Europe but I'm no expert)

I just want to know why a chap from Ohio is reading the Manchester Evening News?! Surely you guys got more funky stuff going on over the pond ?

Yeah it’s a bit of an insulting ‘joke’ on folks that have been patiently waiting for two years or more for RHD variants. There’s lots of very disgruntled Tesla people. They could have handled this far better - but then again Tesla customer services is a law unto itself.

That was my immediate reaction too.

Porsche pics would be great ?

All of a sudden Bangle designed cars seem quite pretty ?

It’s the automotive equivalent of ‘brutalist’ architecture. That only took 40 years to gain some (through gritted teeth) sense of admiration! Even then…??

Possibly not, but it’s odd the CCS port (that we know of) is on the same side as the driver on a LHD car. That’s what leads me to suspect both ports are CCS equipped. They look like mouldings in the bumper rather than (fake) pipes to emulate the current car.

Charge port on each rear flank too. Wonder if they will be CCS on both?

Given it’s an SUV and a bit more weight isn’t an issue, it’s possible they fitted another CCS2 port on the opposite side of the car.

...and how they work here.

@mystermykee - see this video. Bloody monstrous things ?

Fox did it a few years ago with extreme Offroad ATV suspension, as in the Can-Am Maverick.

Yes extremely clever BMS.

Was a bit tongue in cheek. Reminded me of playing with parallel and series batteries at school.

Flipping switches in the battery instead I see to make it appear like 2x 400v batteries in series or parallel. Novel approach or perhaps not.

Sony Global video from CES 2023: Their prototype looks 'inspired' by the 911 and Taycan flanks and shape. Wheels too, seem very Porsche-esqe! Imitation is the sincerest from of flattery...?

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/sonys-new-afeela-electric-vehicle-with-honda-use-qualcomm-tech-companies-say-2023-01-05/ Will be interesting to see how this collaboration progresses.

They’re out there alright! One day in 2017 I pulled into the Waitrose (maybe it something to do with shops that begin with the letter “W”) car park in Ipswich in Suffolk, UK in our new model X. These were somewhat rarer than they are now. No one barely give a toss now. Anyhow back then, we’d...
