Ctrl Alt Refuel is pleased to announce that the podcast now arriving at Platform One is Episode 19. The service is formed of frank, accessible discussion and has called at; —•— New Grants available to homeowners, schools and businesses for installing EV chargers. —•— Reducing electricity bills due to the reduction of levies and the Energy Price Cap. —•— Where's Petchelli from the East of England Please allow passengers to disembark first and mind the gap. Passengers included; @kerbocharge @guymartinracing @AndyBurnhamGM @Channel4 @croft_garry @PaulNissanEV @EV_newt youtu.be/N83JqNfjfjo?si…

You will never achieve 100% no liquid or fossil fuel usage Everything you own would have used it at some point to get to you after you paid for it to happen Owning an electric car doesn’t make you immune from using diesel or gas and it certainly doesn’t make you superior to anyone else CP

Use 100% less buy an EV

@normantech57 @graeme_cobb @eV_Newt @PaulNissanEV I completely agree This range will attract more people who are inexperienced in electric vehicles which will put more EV’s on the road CP

@graeme_cobb @eV_Newt @ctrlaltrefuel @PaulNissanEV That's the range to win over petrolheads! I can take my grandkids to remote wildlife spots without stressing about chargers. Brilliant battery engineering.

Short notice but what would you like us to talk about on tonight’s @ctrlaltrefuel podcast recording? Any questions from the viewer? Please get commenting below @PaulNissanEV has minuted a rampage on Nissan turning off the App service for older cars.

@glynhudson @pocketcasts Our little eV/renewables/alt fuel podcast is on all audio streams. We would love a follow and to hear your feedback 🤓

Why are so many podcasts only on YouTube these days? Watching a podcast is not a productive use of time, I much prefer to listen to podcasts while out and about e.g driving, walking, running etc. Please provide rss feeds so I can use @pocketcasts to listen offline 🙏

@TheEvEngineer I keep forgetting to sort the audio versions out! My apologies. #19 is going up now. Feel free to remind/nudge/harangue me if I don't do it.

@graeme_cobb @eV_Newt @PaulNissanEV We talked about 500 mile EV’s a few episodes ago, if we do this then it could just be a repeat

@eV_Newt @ctrlaltrefuel @PaulNissanEV The new 560 mile range BMW i3? Too much, or a game changer.

@alex_avoigt Are you talking to yourself? CP

@alex_avoigt I think it’s much safer than a human and I look forward to it coming over here. 🤓 Newt.

The fake FOX media is debunked.

@Rainmaker1973 This pleased me. P

The Robotics team from Wissahickon High School in Ambler, Pennsylvania, built the robot Miss Daisy XXIV that picks up balls and shoots them into a container.

Yeah absolutely. Issue is (imho) that people are not doing the ‘supervised’ bit (it’s Full Self Driving Supervised, not FSD) and you, the driver remain responsible and in control -or be prepared to be in control and be ready to take over. If it was doing 60 mph up to that construction/coned lane (again before the video sequence) then I would have certainly cancelled it and slowed down. Perhaps this is what this driver did but forgot to take her foot off the gas pedal and press the brake pedal in stead? All of this video is the human driving. FSD or Autopilot/whatever you want to call it, was not on. The human has maintained this speed right up to the impact, by pressing the accelerator. If she hadn’t, it would have slowed down considerably of course. Now was FSD on before? Yes, it seems like it was (although Elon has confusingly said it was on Autopilot-but I think meant FSD). Was it an early software version? Yes, most likely. Is that an excuse? No. Was it going too fast when it was on (before the video)? Arguably, yes. And this is the issue I think perhaps Tesla /FAD may actually bear some responsibility. There is a slow 15mph speed sign right at the start of the video (when it was already disengaged). Was there one previously? I don’t know. Maybe. If there was, then again, it would be reasonable to point the finger perhaps at the car. This is a beta product and people relying on it and not paying attention to supervise it is the issue. Like that idiot who removed the bloody steering wheel and airbag on his! Humans make millions of driving errors and have crashes because of not paying attention or getting distracted daily. I do believe a well trained Ai /ADAS is and will be much safer than humans , but there’s always going to be some risk and exceptions. Newt.

@ctrlaltrefuel @alex_avoigt From what I’ve seen, the danger times tend to be the edge cases, I wonder if anyone has done analysis of whether it’s safe than a human in these edge cases? It’s the edge cases that will get you killed.

@duncsand How are you getting this rate please? All three people who run this account is with @OctopusEnergy and we have a teeny tony tou tube channel so the more information you can share would be very helpful Thank you CP

When my home battery arrives, I'll be running my house at 5.49p/kWh the whole day.

Took my neighbour out for a drive in my R5 last week. Today he bought one for himself. Maybe I’ve actually become a bloody influencer 😩

@modernheroestv @DrMoragKerr But you’re missing ThE sOuL mAn!

On an electric bus for the first time going to fetch Ami from its current hiding place How can anyone experience this and think “nah I’d rather the rattly old diesel”?

@AutoPap 🙌 yay! That is the colour! 😍 Newt.

@eV_Newt @X @YouTube Lol no idea It’s ready to go as far as i know I just don’t know what has been agreed lol CP

@ctrlaltrefuel @X @YouTube Is it not out tonight then?

@DrMoragKerr Yeah. Water had hit int the pack. There’s ’umbrella’ mushroom valves that periodically open up to vent. If the car is underwater, they can allow ingress. So he’s for sure left it in floodwater or similar.

@ctrlaltrefuel I never heard anything further about it. I just knew that the ostensible reason for Tesla not honouring the warranty was obvious bullshit. The owner said he drove it to a restaurant for a meal, then when he came out it wouldn't start in the car park. Lying?

One imagines this will likely turn out NOT to have been on FSD, but- Reminder: there is no ‘self-driving mode’. Only SUPERVISED full self driving exists. YOU are still the driver and must be ready to take over. Like a plane on autopilot, the pilots remain in charge. How can she think she can sue? Thoughts? Newt.

@SteveFowler @Hyundai_UK @HyundaiEurope I am very jealous, i want one but i fear the wing may make me look a little bit too much mid life crisis

Is this the best double spoiler since the Ford Sierra XR4i? Love double spoilers! And love the Hyundai Ioniq 6N. Wow - what a car. Just FUN!🤩🥰😲

@Teslalightshows @teslaeurope Everyone makes mistakes mate, don’t beat yourself up about it Just be happy no one was hurt and you can laugh about it CP

FSD is NEEDED NOW in EUROPE 🇪🇺... At least for idiots like ME 😂🤣😅 @teslaeurope

@DrMoragKerr That car was submerged in water iirc. Like in flood water for a long while

@ctrlaltrefuel What happened about the broken-down Tesla in Edinburgh where the owner claimed Tesla had refused to honour the warranty because the car "had been driven in heavy rain"? You can't throw a stone in Edinburgh without hitting a Tesla, and news flash, heavy rain is situation normal.
