That's no fun.

Oh Bummer Gale. Glad you were not hurt.

FSD almost permitted the big deer to get across the road. Thankfully the airbags were not involved. I had to use Key Card to boot up so I could drive home. I sent pics to my insurance agent just now. It was dark when the deer shot out of a field on my right.

Bummer indeed.
Given how severe it could have been it seems like FSD did a decent job of slowing you down before impact.
I drive Farm to Market road every morning to work and wonder when a deer is going to jump out at me.

Do they have brush guards for Tesla's yet? Maybe one built into a big metal bumper.

That'd be pretty sweet.

Built in record time, and also made to be easily serviceable.

This is the most powerful computing system ever built and only on phase One.

Cost Of Public Charging an EV Is Now More Expensive Than Filling Up with Diesel–Parkers

In fact Parker’s are understating just how expensive running costs are for EVs, because their figures for petrol/diesel include fuel duties, which account for nearly half of the cost.

Cost Of Public Charging an EV Is Now More Expensive Than Filling Up with Diesel–Parkers

The price of charging an electric car using a public rapid charger is now more expensive than filling up with diesel according to data gathered by Parkers. The soaring price of wholesale gas and electricity has forced up the cost of charging a typical electric car, with £10 of charge taking you less far than the same amount of diesel.

This rise in EV charging begins to bite just as petrol and diesel prices are finally beginning to fall. Despite the spiralling costs of using public electric car chargers, the long-term consideration of an electric car is still very much on many drivers’ minds.

The RAC says that the average price per kilowatt hour (kWh) of a UK rapid charger is 63.29p, but it can cost a lot more. Osprey announced in August 2022 prices on its rapid chargers to £1 per kilowatt hour. Tesla charges an average of 77p/kWh for non-Tesla drivers (according to Zap-Map), and the second largest rapid network, Gridserve, charges 66p/kWh.

Do you have the option to move out of the UK? Sounds like things may be going south for the UK!

I'd never live under communist rule, don't worry.
