If you own a high-value car such as an Audi, it's worth ensuring that it is maintained properly to ensure optimum performance. A regular Audi service is a good way to ensure trouble-free motoring. Also, a fully stamped service book will help to maintain the value of your car. Audi garages and independent specialist garages provide a high standard of servicing. To ensure the best service, it is paramount to choose a reputable garage that uses genuine OE (Original Equipment) parts. This also guarantees that any warranty is protected. To have Audi specialist technicians is also important. They will have had a significant amount of training and will possess the technical knowledge and expertise to work on your car. Not only that, specialist Audi technicians will also be able to forecast any possible problems with your car because of the experience and knowledge they have. They will also be able to inform you of when you are likely to require a new cam belt or replacement tyres based on your car usage and mileage. This can help you plan your Audi service and maintenance costs in advance. There is a range of Audi services available.
You can choose to have an interim service or a full service if you drive many miles and drive frequently. You could also have a time and distance service, or a variable service. A time and distance service is a fixed interval service, so for example, at every 18 months or 10,000 miles, whatever comes first, you will require a service. A variable Audi service is when the sensors on the Audi engine and components will let you know that a service is necessary. This will appear as a warning light on the driver's information panel in the car. Check your Audi handbook for more details of what these lights mean. Some garages can book as service as you wait, whilst with others you would need to book your car in advance. Make sure that they only use genuine Audi parts, as these will also be guaranteed, some for up to two years. Some garages also offer value-added services such as collection and delivery of your vehicle, full guarantee of workmanship, a free valet, free MOT or a courtesy car while your car is being serviced. It pays to shop around and find the best deals to service your Audi. When you come to pay for your Audi service, this can be of some concern if it costs more than you are prepared for. However, some garages will offer a service payment plan, allowing you to pay fix monthly amounts, based on the amount of services you would like to include. This helps with budgeting for your Audi service costs and helps to spread the cost of servicing your car.
I believe Tesla's going to find out just how much that utilization rate can be increased by deploying the Robotaxis (maybe 1st in Norway) and seeing how profit margins can increase. It's incorporated into the design of the car/vehicle itself with 1M miles as a design constraint. With every % increase in utilization, the less cars need to be sold (out of the 98M annual car worldwide sales market). We're in this massive innovation change and we're all a part of it at this point to make sure climate change is averted now that most of the world (and hopefully the entire world) understands that it's real. Anyways, probably missed some points, but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head. Am I missing anything? Nice post, thanks for taking the time on that. 6. Quality Issues: is this still a thing? AFAICS, new Teslas are pretty solid.
Cimate change - "do you believe climate change is real?": the beauty about science is that it's true, whether you believe it or not. The only doubt about whether climate change is real and driven by humans is for the Merchants of Doubt who seek personal gain above the welfare of the human race in general. In fact they know it's for real, they just don't care. There is no debate. Doubt that will happen. From the email, I'm guessing this was Vicki S: In January an employee was identified for sharing confidential business information on Twitter, including production numbers, with journalists. The employee was terminated for violating their NDA and Tesla’s Communications policy. LOL - with no ships to Europe in much of March/April this shows the exact opposite of Anton Lieman's conclusion: every unit sent to Europe was delivered almost immediately, i.e. limited supply, not demand problems. Even more of a joke is CNBC posting on the Tesla news-feed! Interesting story about technology that is changing transit on the local ABC affiliate in Philly today.
Good piece for Tesla, even if the use of summon was a stretch. Unrelated to this story, there was a Tesla involved in a rash recently (difficult to tell from the video they were given) and it was identified as a sedan by the same channel. Ha, I’m old enough to remember when HAL detected a malfunction on the AE-35 unit in Discovery’s antenna then we all know what happened to Dr. Frank Poole and Dr. David “Open the pod bay door, HAL” Bowman. Oh yeah, I’ve seen this movie before. Ohhhhh yeah. Don’t like it onnnne bit, I tell ya. History gonna repeat itself, yesiree. EDIT: just noticed someone else caught the same drift before me. No, they can't. As you work out the far end of the curve, it's just more and more edge cases of lower and lower frequency. This logic makes the flawed assumption that driving a car safely is an "unknowable" task, that there's an almost infinitely long tail of edge cases. This is not so. Most humans mistakenly believe that they can drive cars safely. Close to 40,000 people die in the U.S.
