I really like my Model 3 but I hate the association with Musk, I was considering buying it at the end of the lease but I’m having second thoughts. Yes, I know I’ve already lined his pockets in a small way!!

I haven’t experienced the poor build quality, in the 2.5 years I’ve had it I’ve not had any issues and only 1 recall for an o-ring replacement on a gas strut.

Tesla needs to be rescued from Musk by one of the established car manufacturers, my vote would be for Mercedes.

Thank you, I will check it out.

It depends on how busy the roundabout is.

If it’s really busy and there is a possibility of traffic backing up on either of the the two exits before the one you want to take then I’d be in the righthand lane on approach and move to the lefthand lane as soon as I’m past the second exit, getting in the lane marked A610 going under the bridge. This way you avoid possibly getting caught in slow moving traffic and adding to the back up.

If the roundabout isn’t that busy then using the lefthand lane on approach would be fine and just staying in the lefthand lane all the way.

Roundabouts need to be as free flowing as possible, so use whichever lane is going to keep the traffic moving best.

I use a roundabout everyday that crosses a motorway and the traffic joining the motorway always backs up the slip road on to the roundabout at rush hour. Often people wanting to go “straight” over the roundabout get in the lefthand lane on approach and then get stuck in the backed up traffic which just adds to the congestion. I tend to approach in the righthand lane and move to the left once past the motorway exit. I’ve noticed that people tend to leave a gap for the traffic in the righthand lane to go through but will block the lefthand lane just in case someone sneaks in front of them!! LOL

I’d be interested in recommendations too, Sci Fi is my favourite genre and time travel in particular.

I’ve listened to all the most recommended books, i.e. Bobiverse, PHM, The Martian, Ex Force, Old Man’s War, The Expanse, etc.
