For what it’s worth, the cultural expectation to share a room in college is not universal. In the UK, Australia and many parts of Europe are often horrified to find that American students share a bedroom.

By recall you mean a completely routine OTA software update done while the driver is asleep.

How have you found the the transition from Cambridge to Seattle? I’m considering a similar move.

This is due to a phenomenon called heat soak which is where the engine temperature increases above normal for a time after it has been switched off due to the lack of coolant flow. The fan is coming on to aid cooling the engine/engine

I don’t think this is true - this is completely normal behaviour. The cooling fan is coming on due to a phenomenon called heat soak which is where the engine temperature increases above normal for a time after it has been switched off due t

How do you do it? I've only ever had a few and they seem to come on at random.

As with all news about battery technology, I will believe it when I can go out and buy it. Until then it is vapourware. Does anyone know why battery technology in particular is so rife with these "A battery that NEVER needs charging is

I feel like British politeness is a huge counterpoint to this.

I actually found this really pleasant to read. My eye seemed to be able to move from each word to the next more smoothly. It is interesting to note how the slightly uneven weights on each character are similar to fonts designed to aid Dysle

Who said anything about losing jobs here? Joblessness is exceedingly low.

What variable rate debt do poor people usually have? You have to be of a certain income level to even get a mortgage in the first place.
75.
by bb123 3y ago
Hm I’m not sure you’re factoring variable rate mortgages, which most people in the U.K. have. As interest rates rise so do mortgage payments (usually with a 1-2 year delay).

by bb123 3y ago
Is that true? It seems to be hurting the households with huge mortgages most directly.

We were shown When the Wind Blows at school when I was about 13 and it absolutely traumatised me. To this day just thinking about it makes my stomach drop and I still occasionally daydream about how I'd create a makeshift fallout shelt

Let's assume an average iPhone battery is 5.45Wh and that they are charged to full every other night. That is 0.99kWh/year. We know there are 136 million iPhone users in the USA (1) so we are looking at 134GWh of electric consumpt

Yeah I think that is true, I think the goal of the width restriction is really about weight - they don't want very heavy HGVs going back and forth over it all day so they probably don't care about SUVs

Yeah there are a few exceptions (some people also just import them) but we have avoided the worst of it so far. Anyone who has driven in the US knows that the average car size way larger.

There are tons of bridges around the UK with a 6ft 6 width restriction, for example Chelsea Bridge in London. The X is 6ft 6.6 inches wide.

Agreed - the U.K.’s is around 15% higher than their closest neighbour, France.

That's the model 3 and now the model Y. This just affects the S and X which were never mainstream anyway.
84.
by bb123 3y ago
I think in the UK and Japan the model S and model X are far too large to ever be big sellers. There are even some bridges in the UK that the model X can’t cross because it is too wide.

It is far less safe to drive a car with a steering wheel on the wrong side - it shouldn’t be legal for Tesla to sell them in this way.

by bb123 3y ago
It is legal to drive a left hand drive car here, but I'm also surprised it's legal to sell one new. It is definitely much less safe. I was in a near fatal accident with a left hand drive truck who didn't see me in his blindsp

Yes, one of the upsides of driving on the left is that it has spared the UK/Australia/Japan from those awful American gas guzzler tanks.

This is just plain wrong. Last year Tesla sold 56,000 cars in the UK. That makes it about the same size market as the next three largest European countries combined. Given the doom mongering in the news you’d assume everyone in the UK is fo

I think this is a known phenomenon which is why Aussie police give double demerits for driving tickets on long weekends.

Haha nope, Tesla Model 3. The back seat is juuust wide enough to lie down in the back for a nap. I’m 6’2” so it wouldn’t be comfortable overnight but for half an hour it is enough.
