London named the worst place to buy a used Tesla

A new study from RegTransfers has revealed London as the worst city in the UK to buy a second-hand Tesla, thanks to above average pricing and mileage.

Analysing online listings for second-hand vehicles, the provider of personalised number plates has revealed that a used Tesla in London and the UK’s 10 largest cities currently sits at an average price of £33,273, with an average mileage of 34,152.

Ranking each city based on their combined performance against these figures, London provided the worst combination of price and mileage when compared with other cities.

Best major city to buy a second-hand Tesla

City	Average Price	Comparison to Avg.	Price Rank	Avg.Mileage	Comparison to Avg.	Mileage Rank	OverallRank
Nottingham	£32,767	-£506	4	31,302	-2,850	3	1
Leeds	£32,842	-£431	5	32,932	-1,220	5	2
Liverpool	£33,019	-£254	7	33,865	-287	6	3
Manchester	£33,016	-£257	6	34,077	-75	7	4
Birmingham	£33,948	+£675	8	31,957	-2,195	4	5
Leicester	£30,548	-£2,725	1	34,484	+332	8	6
Bristol	£32,033	-£1,240	2	35,124	+972	9	7
Glasgow	£34,237	+£964	9	28,205	-5,947	1	8
Edinburgh	£34,481	+£1,208	10	30,202	-3,950	2	9
Sheffield	£32,254	-£1,019	3	36,943	+2,791	10	10
London	£34,796	+£1523	11	37,805	+3,653	11	11

Second-hand Tesla listings from London average at £34,796; £1523 above the national average. This places the city as the worst major UK region for second hand Tesla purchases, concerning price. Similarly, listings showed an average mileage 3,653 miles greater than the National benchmark – placing the region in last for miles on the clock. This means second hand Teslas in London have higher prices and higher mileages than other major UK cities.

National average price

Nottingham ranked as the best city in which to buy a used Tesla, averaging at £506 and 2,850 miles below the country-wide averages. Based on cost alone, Leicester averaged £2,725 below the calculated national average price – making it the cheapest city in which to buy a second-hand Tesla.

Based on cost alone, Leicester averaged £2,725 below the calculated national average price – making it the cheapest city in which to buy a second-hand Tesla. Meanwhile, Glaswegian listings ranked best overall for mileage, with vehicles averaging 5,947 miles less than the baseline of 34,152.

However, both cities suffer from poor scores in their other rankings. While listings in Leicester boast cheaper costs, they are slightly above average in mileage. Meanwhile, Glaswegian Teslas average less time on the road, but bear an above average price as a result. Overall, Leicester ranks higher; Despite being slightly above-average in mileage, the savings in cost are greater.

RegTransfers CEO, Mark Trimbee, said: “London’s performance in the second-hand Tesla market is perhaps unsurprising; Life in the capital is more expensive in almost every aspect, with prices continuing to rise. Despite these figures, it may still be possible for Londoners to find a great deal on a second-hand Tesla; the trick, of course, is to shop around for the best combination of price, mileage and age.”

Across all cities analysed, 79% of listings are Tesla Model 3’s – originally released in 2017. Most listings are three years old, and the majority show only 1 previous owner. The lowest vehicle discovered was a 2014 Model S for £16,500, located in London. The highest price discovered – for a 2019 Tesla Model S also found in London – was £128,000.

Saka worry for Arsenal ahead of Manchester City clash

Bukayo Saka will undergo further tests today on the injury that forced him to limp out of Arsenal’s defeat at Lens last night.

The Gunners were beaten 2-1 in northern France in their Champions League Group B encounter and had the added disappointment of seeing their England winger forced off after 34 minutes.

Saka is now a doubt for the crunch Premier League game with Manchester City on Sunday.

Arteta said: “It was a backheel, an action that can produce that kind of injury. He tried to backheel a ball in the first half and felt something muscular. He felt uncomfortable to carry on so we had to take him off.

“We don’t know anything more.

“It was big enough not to allow him to continue to play the game and that’s a worry for us.”

Saka has been a model of consistency for Arsenal, starting each of their last 87 league games, although he has failed to complete the last two due to various niggles.

Arteta insisted there was no risk in starting him in Lens and did not regret his decision.

“No. It was a knock that he had the other day and he was perfectly fine,” he said.

“He hasn’t really missed games. We gave him a break against Brentford [in the EFL Cup] last week and that was all.”

Heads up and onto the next. pic.twitter.com/AViFZiCgiq
— Arsenal (@Arsenal) October 3, 2023

Saka’s pass enabled Gabriel Jesus to put Arsenal ahead after 14 minutes but goals from Adrien Thomasson and Elye Wahi proved enough for Lens to move to the top of the pool.

Arteta was impressed by the French side and felt his players would learn from the setback.

“They are a really good side, an exceptional opponent,” he told TNT Sports.

“On many occasions we attacked the space – but it was [decided] in the boxes. We missed some big chances and didn’t defend well enough for their goals.

“Mistakes happen in football but the difference was made in both boxes. You have to put the ball in the back of the net and defend well.

“It was a big night for us. We weren’t able to take the result we wanted but we were able to learn.”

Maharashtra Government and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum Sign MoU on 03 October 2023 for Repatriation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s ‘Wagh Nakh’

London – In a momentous cultural event, the path has been cleared for the historic ‘Wagh Nakh’ (Tiger Claws) weapon, once wielded by Maratha leader Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, to return to India.

The ‘Wagh Nakh,’ a formidable iron weapon resembling tiger claws, holds a special place in the chronicles of Indian history as it was wielded by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

A dedicated three-member team, led by Maharashtra’s esteemed Minister of Cultural Affairs, Shri Sudhir Mungantiwar, along with Mr. Vikas Kharge (Principal Secretary, Cultural Affairs), and Mr. Garge (Director, Archaeology and Museums), traveled to London to formalize this momentous agreement.

The transfer contract between the respective parties is likely to be signed on 15 November 2023.

Once the ‘Wagh Nakh’ returns to India, it will be housed in various museums across Maharashtra, where the public will have the privilege of viewing this symbol of valor and victory. The ‘Wagh Nakh’ will be displayed at Satara’s Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum, Nagpur Museum, Kolhapur Museum, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastusamgrahalaya, Mumbai. As per the agreement, the artifact will return to London after the agreed duration of 3 years and will be placed at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Designed with precision to slash through skin and muscle, this weapon is currently housed within London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, serving as a testament to India’s rich heritage.

After the signing ceremony of the historic MoU, Minister Shri Sudhir Mungantiwar expressed his optimism, stating, “As we celebrate the 350th anniversary of the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, we had resolved to bring back the ‘Wagh Nakh’ to its rightful home. This historic artifact should serve as an inspiration for the people of our country to emulate the unwavering dedication and bravery of our beloved leaders. We have signed the MoU paving the way for the ‘Wagh Nakh’ to return to India in November.”

In his appeal to the people of Maharashtra, he said, “After the ‘Wagh Nakh’ arrives in India, it will be displayed in various museums under the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums in the future. I am requesting not only the people of Maharashtra but also the people of India to participate in large numbers in the exhibition of the ‘Wagh Nakh’ and other Maratha weapons that were useful for Swaraj, take inspiration from this Shivshastra saga, and behave in a manner that enhances the spirit of patriotism.”

This landmark endeavor not only honors the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj but also represents a powerful symbol of cultural pride and historical resurgence for the people of Maharashtra and all of India.

A Paradigm Shift: Rethinking Physics and Cosmology Due to New Insights into the Universe’s Shape and Size

A Paradigm Shift: Rethinking Physics and Cosmology Due to New Insights into the Universe’s Shape and Size

Recent findings, as discussed in a Nature Astronomy paper (Ref.1), have asserted with 99% confidence that our universe is closed, challenging the prevailing Standard Model of Cosmology (SMC). Another paper (Ref.2) even presents betting odds of 2000 ∶ 1 against an open, flat, and infinite universe. These revelations expose major cracks in the SMC, highlighting eight significant shortcomings (Ref.3A) that collectively indicate a crisis in cosmology, necessitating a paradigm shift. Major cracks have appeared in the standard model of cosmology.

Physics currently relies on two foundational theories: General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). However, these theories are inherently incompatible, resulting in a long-standing conflict between them (Ref.3B). This conflict within physics is openly acknowledged by physicists themselves (Ref.3C).

Subhajit Waugh, a scientist at RRCAT, boldly asserts that the incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity arises from an erroneous model of the universe (4A). He has proposed an alternative model that defines the universe’s exact shape and size (Ref.4B), which experts can explore (Ref.5, 6, 7). Waugh claims that this “expanding (hyper) balloon” model leads to a unification of physics and cosmology, approaching a “theory of everything.”

This paradigm shift hearkens back to Edwin Hubble’s observation that galaxies move away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distance, an idea akin to an expanding balloon universe. Waugh argues that this concept was valid and should not have been abandoned. He posits that the universe’s wall comprises invisible scalar fields (similar to invisible electric and magnetic fields) and particles (excitations/resonances in those fields, as proposed by Quantum Field Theory). Since all matter consists of particles, everything is perpetually confined within the 3D hypersurface of these fields. Waugh regrets that scientists overlooked the fact that both the FLRW metric, foundational to the SMC, and the Minkowski metric, hint at this view of the universe. The temporal aspect of both metrics is akin (implying that the 3D hypersurface moves at velocity c in the fourth dimension), a detail often disregarded. Waugh uses a party balloon analogy to clarify this: as the balloon expands, a point on the wall moves away from the balloon’s center (analogous to the temporal part of FLRW metric), and nearby points on the wall appear to move apart due to the balloon’s expansion, giving rise to Hubble’s law.

Waugh’s critique extends to the concept of a four-dimensional “SpaceTime continuum” (Ref.8), as proposed by Einstein and Minkowski, merging three dimensions of space and one of time into a single 4D entity. This idea leads to a “block universe” view where past, present, and future coexist simultaneously, in contrast to everyday experience and numerous scientific observations. He attributes this mistake to a misinterpretation of imaginary numbers (Ref.9) in the Minkowski-Einstein SpaceTime equation, leading to the omission of one dimension. Correcting these mathematical errors, as argued by Waugh (Ref.10), could usher in a scientific revolution.

Waugh contends that his model meets the three key criteria to challenge established scientific theories and makes testable predictions (Ref.11). He anticipates that the Euclid telescope’s data will confirm a positively curved universe, implying closure and finiteness (Ref.12), thereby shaking the foundations of science.

In summary, Subhajit Waugh’s “expanding (hyper) balloon” model of the universe offers a potential paradigm shift that could unify physics and cosmology, superseding existing theories and challenging the Standard Model of Cosmology.

Pochettino happy patience paid off as Chelsea beat Fulham.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino described Monday night’s win at Fulham as a “short step” in the right direction.

The Argentine has endured a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge but was encouraged by the manner of his team’s 2-0 triumph at Craven Cottage, which came courtesy of first-half goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja.

Pochettino said: “It’s a massive job; it’s step-by-step, very short steps. Sometimes, people don’t have patience, but for us, it’s about having it. Even when we weren’t winning.

“It’s important for us to build our confidence and trust in ourselves.

“The performance was very good. I’m so happy for the players, and in the end, we got what we deserved.”

Pochettino was particularly pleased for Mudryk, who grabbed his first goal for the Blues following his £89million move from Shakhtar Donetsk before having to come off at half-time due to a thigh strain.

He added: “It’s about maturity, adaptation and we need to understand young people as they need time to settle.

“It’s a massive change to come here, and when you arrive in a team, it’s not easy to settle because, being honest, too many young players arrive to a team that is not solid. It’s not the cherry on the cake.

“They need to add something to the team to add something important. It is to trust these guys, these young, talented players.”

Meanwhile, the home fans saw their team go back-to-back games without scoring a goal in what Fulham boss Marco Silva labelled as a “sloppy” and “disappointing” performance.

He said: “Our first half was not aggressive enough on and off the ball. We were sloppy in some moments.

“We were too passive the way we reacted to the cross from [Levi] Colwill (for the first goal), and then after that, we were punished by another mistake from ourselves, 30 seconds later.

“It is clear at this level, and against these types of teams, we cannot make the mistakes we made.

“They [Chelsea] were a lot more confident. Our second half was better, but we didn’t score our chances.”

London Dog Lover Launches a Matchmaking App for Rescue Pets

Tara Hamdi, a passionate animal lover based in London, has introduced a novel initiative called ‘Only Rescues,’ often dubbed the ‘dating app for rescues.’ Her goal with this innovative free app is to assist charities and rehoming shelters in finding loving homes for cats and dogs in need.

The inspiration for ‘Only Rescues’ struck Tara after the loss of her beloved rescue dog, Max, last year. The profound impact of Max’s passing prompted Tara to channel her grief into a project dedicated to helping rescue animals. Consequently, she temporarily set aside her 15-year career as the head of fundraising for various charities to pursue this groundbreaking endeavor.

Only Rescues has already garnered recognition as a finalist in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards for Early Stage Stand Out. The app offers a platform for animal charities and responsible rehoming shelters to upload photos and details of their cats and dogs free of charge. Subsequently, the app facilitates the matchmaking process by pairing available animals with potential owners.

Prospective pet owners seeking a new cat or dog will be prompted to complete a lifestyle quiz when they access the app. This quiz plays a pivotal role in assisting ‘Only Rescues’ in making suitable matches between animals and their future caretakers.

Tara, originally hailing from Bournemouth, expressed her motivation for this endeavor: “My partner and I were broken when our Max died last year. It was then we decided we had to do something for rescue animals and I paused my career of 15 years to concentrate on this.”

While drawing a playful analogy to dating apps, Tara emphasised the importance of ensuring the compatibility of animals and prospective owners. She elaborated, “We have joked that this is similar to a dating app, but it is really important for us that the right animals are matched with the right people and families. This is why we ask potential owners to fill out a 30 second lifestyle quiz when they enter the app. We ask a few questions that determine the right fit for the new owner’s circumstances. For example, we ask whether they have a garden or not. If people don’t have a garden, then they might not see dogs like Great Danes on their list of potential matches,”

‘Only Rescues’ operates on a completely free model for both rehoming partners and potential owners. Tara is actively encouraging charities and rehoming shelters interested in showcasing their rescues to reach out to the team via email at [email protected].

With an estimated 1.7 million dogs and cats awaiting rehoming in the UK, ‘Only Rescues’ aspires to play a vital role in reducing this number, ensuring that countless animals find loving homes where they belong.

It has been Chelsea’s worst start to a season since 1978-79, with the Blues taking just five points from six games.

Dare we mention that the season in question saw the West London side go on to be relegated?

Goalscoring has been the main problem affecting Mauricio Pochettino’s men. Chelsea did hit the net in last week’s 1-0 win over Brighton in the EFL Cup, but they have failed to score a goal in the Premier League since August 25 against Luton.

Such is their plight that even companies are seizing the chance to poke fun.

Pizza chain Domino’s are the latest, having placed a live tracker outside Craven Cottage, the venue for Chelsea’s trip to Fulham tonight, detailing how many pizzas they have sold since Nicolas Jackson’s 75th-minute goal against the Hatters – the third in a 3-0 win.
