“characterised by dynamically reimagined front bumpers and grilles”
sure buddy
also theres a bit about “feature exclusively designed alloy wheels that have been created exclusively for that N Line model”
if there’s one hyundai are good at its designing alloy wheels to look like steelies with hub caps.
I agree. There's far too much going on. Just keep it neat and clean.
Isn't there a general Ev issue , providing aero effective wheels which aren't an alloy with a so-so plastic contoured wheel cover ?
Audi A2etron ones seem to have an alloy cover at least.
plastic wheel covers on the first cars I had didn't weather well.

what i dont get is these evs even teslas claim there wheels are aero engineered but they are all asymetric. to so wheels on the near side point opposite way to the offside wheels. doesnt this cancel out
i believe it's the area the wheel covers cover, rather than the exact shape
there's about a 5% difference in efficiency on a tesla with wheel covers on vs covers off
full covers obvs have the best aero efficiency, but the brakes can overheat due to no airflow if used hard

Regenerative braking FTW.
Following the recommendations here, I had the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro installed yesterday after getting the car delivered on Tuesday. Had a few minor niggles with the Wi-Fi RSSI strength last night, but switching networks sorted it, and Hypervolt’s WhatsApp support was great. Still getting use to all the settings, and how things work!
When connecting to Octopus, they suggested moving off our flat 26.6p/kWh tariff onto Octopus (Intelligent Octopus Go). My previous one charged a flat rate of 26.6p/kWh day and night. The daytime rate is higher at 34.12p/kWh, but dropping to 9.9p/kWh between 11:30pm and 5:30am will make it much cheaper overall since the car will do the bulk of its charging overnight.
Last night's charge from roughly 40% used 36kWh—costing £3.56. This will easily cover the whole week's driving for me.
The car itself is fantastic, too. The acceleration is ridiculous.

Sounds like an excuse Jenson would use…
Check out EDF, much cheaper off peak and longer off peak times. £50 referrals are floating around as well.Following the recommendations here, I had the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro installed yesterday after getting the car delivered on Tuesday.

I quite like the 20” alloys on my i5 M60, the 21’s are even nicer! The wife’s R5 do look good though.

That's quite a jump on IOG to 9.9p off peak so good job I did move to EDF for 6.6p off peak and a similar peak rate. Not forgetting the £75 referral and 4 hours of free leccy too. I am still miffed about their smart charging not supporting OHME chargers and my gen 2 Leaf though, missing out a extra fiver a month credit because of that.
My Octopus is 6.6p off peak. EDF was cheaper peak but during the switch they could not read my smart meter and the service was awful. They told me it’s my problem and I will pay full price until I get it sorted. Cancelled the switch and back with Octopus and everything works fine inc meter readings.

You are on legacy plan only available to people who were on IOG before the orange man did a thing in the Middle East.
It’s much more expensive for new customers.

Ah makes sense glad I fixed it for 12 months.
My Model Y lease is coming to an end in Jan and I need to sort myself out another car.
Sal sac is no longer an option and we do ~25k miles/year which makes private lease and PCP very expensive. So on that basis we are going back to the used market.
Minimum requirements are:
>350 miles WLTP range
Towing capacity of >1500kg
~£40k budget, ideally less
~ 1 year manufacturer warranty and >25k miles remaining on whole car.
Ideally requirements:
>=100kwh battery (raw battery capacity is the main defining range factor when towing a caravan)
Quality - no worse than my Model Y
There are quite a few cars with >= 100kwh batteries on the market now but most of them are too new.
Mrs Sk8 has also vetoed anything by BMW, she can’t get past the styling and knocks out the iX.
Sticking with the >=100kwh requirement makes that short list very short:
Polestar 3
Polestar 4
Audi Q6
Audi A6
Have I missed anything obvious there?
I’ve taken both the Polestar 3 and 4 out for a test drive. I preferred the 4 over the 3 despite the 3 allegedly being the more premium car although the rear view ‘mirror’ will take some getting used to. Both very nice cars and the 4 is defo on the short list. The 4 seems to be rather good value on the used market at the moment.
