    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is difficult to see how an estimate of 5 billion in corruption , which if true is bad gets conflated to 990billion. In context the entire EU budget is around 150 billion, so a 4% corruption level, while bad is not catastrophic.

    Spin or use higher power setting

    I believe that the height of the bar column is measuring the instantaneous power from the battery. If one is in eco or touring the movement of the bars is sluggish, while in turbo it's pretty skittish. I would read that as the controller giving a higher gain to the torque measurement got from...

    Going off topic, and as an infrequent visitor to mainland UK, I am struck by the lack of investment in housing and public infrastructure.
