I don't know, to have all four wheels come off makes me think he only put the lug nuts on intending to tighten it after, but forgot to do it.

The description of what happened makes it sound like a cartoon .

EDIT: Actually just reading it again, I can't tell if the wheels fell off or the tyres came off the rims?

Ah sorry! Sometimes hard to tell on here. I haven't watched it in a long time, probably due for a rewatch.

It was! If you like UK shows, it was used as the theme tune for Peep Show.

Not sure which are still wholly kiwi owned, but these developers:

I actually don't remember what was in the messaging either. It just made sense to me because the numbers lined up with what was shown when I bought it online.

Thanks you're right, I think I meant it as RUC's becoming separate for all vehicles.

The pessimist in me thinks we'd hardly see petrol prices change, or they'd drop and creep up again slowly.

If there was any proof that there is no "higher power" and that the universe doesn't care about humanity one way or the other, that would be a very good example.

Haha glad I could help 😆

If you scroll down to the example label, it's the "max dist recorder"

I completely agree that the RUC and possibly even the Rego system is antiquated. Why do we still need little pieces of paper on our windscreen?

But I'm a little confused by what you mean? The RUC label has the ending KM's on it. You just buy more before or when you hit that amount of mileage.

Unsurprisingly, Musk has disparaged Tesla Takedown as something astroturfed by wealthy liberals (and conflated the peaceful movement with attacks in which suspected arsonists threw Molotov cocktails at dealerships). On Saturday, he claimed without evidence on X that an “investigation” of some kind had revealed that wealthy philanthropists including George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix were funding the groups behind Tesla protests through the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. Aside from misrepresenting how ActBlue works — it doesn’t fund anything but is rather a system through which donors can send money to Democratic political candidates and liberal organizations

"It couldn't possibly be the consequences of my actions, it's wealthy liberals conspiring against me!"

He deserves it and so much more.

Oh I meant more that I would be more comfortable using the Leaf for road trips if I could reliably fast charge without degrading the battery. Not so much worried about fast charging for around town use.

I hope you're right, but I suspect it'll still be many years before those 1000KM range models trickle down to the used market and even then, like the 7 seaters I mentioned, they will still probably retain a higher price. I actually think demand for EV's is going to increase in the the next couple of years, especially if this government or the next enacts the plan for RUCs for all vehicles.

He's been lying for years and still so many believe what he says. In any case, any group doing this would be at the very least spoofing their IP's anyway wouldn't they?
