Thanks for the updates I have updated the sheet.
And I’d just like to add my heartfelt thanks to Jim for keeping the spreadsheet updated while I’ve had considerable other calls on my time.

Many thanks Jim, you’re a solid gold trooper.

Re: Utumno's Tesla Model Y has arrived !

If you don’t mind what spec and extras if any did you add, also did it come with a parcel shelf? Dealer mentioned that they should be getting built with them Our id3 is having a charging issue at the moment, it’s probably not happy with us because we’d been and had a look at the model y Hoping to g...

The release notes said that "Theater" would have Disney+, and it doesn't. Other than that, it's perfect so far !

Utumno's Tesla Model Y has arrived !

Several of you following the near 12 month saga of our VW ID.3 Tour order, culminating in the purchase of a Tesla Model Y after SWMBO threw her toys out of the pram asked for off-topic confirmation that we finally have our EV. Well, we do, I collected it on Saturday just gone, and we couldn't be hap...

Re: Voltshare App - anybody used it?

You need to install their specific wall charger too. Not a bad idea for an Airbnb and the like.

@Cherry would have loved this idea though 🤣

Re: Tesla Price Rises

Frankly it looks like ~£40k is going to be the “floor” for mid-sized EV’s for the reasonably foreseeable future. Stellantis should take this opportunity to coin it in at the lower end of the market if parts and pricing allow. I don’t really expect VW to be occupying the sub-£30k bracket at all for s...

Re: Tesla Price Rises

Have Tesla prices gone up again?! Yes indeed, and delivery timescales too. A cooking spec M3 will be 9-12 months now. MY’s are a bit easier, but now start at £58k. We haven’t even taken delivery of our Y yet (Saturday!) and its gone up in price by £4k since ordering it. Thank heavens for price prot...

Re: Software 3.1

VW should be telling us when the 2.4 campaign will start in the next week. Nothing at all on the German forums. Complete radio blackout on the next steps re 2.4 and 3.0. I don’t believe they promised that, I believe they promised an update on the rollout dates. That update may well consist of “we’l...

Re: Delivery time

As many have noticed, VW are getting better recently at build times. Has anyone got a feeling whether this speed up also applies to ID3 Family variants? I see there was talk of the Matrix headlights delaying all non life cars because of the chip shortages in May so I wonder if all the speed up is m...

Re: Delivery time

The sales rep told us today that the delivery can be a further 4 months after the build. If you want some good news, there is definitely a smaller gap between "going into build" and "being delivered to dealers". It was true, but hopefully it is getting provably better. What seem...

Re: Renault Megane e-tech EV pricing

This is the new reality, and one that’s here for years. At the moment they are getting a bit too close to Ionic5, EV6 and M3 territory (although I guess all of those will be going up in price soonish(?)) Just adds to the anti EV bandwagon and leaves a 2030 deadline looking doubtful imho… The 2030 d...

Re: Government axes PiCG

A shocking disincentive to moving to greener cars in a critical time period. The government hardly mentions climate anymore, ministers were literally crying about the need for action a year ago. Charlatans. I'm of the opinion that the Government is focusing on reducing the number of cars on the roa...
