Just waiting to hear on the Wipers dev team. Thoughts and prayers…

Here you go: https://maps.dft.gov.uk/ev-charging-map/index.html North Yorkshire is in the top 20% of the UK. Also, apparently Yorkshire is not the North-East. A bloke from Gateshead told me once, so must be true.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/05/uk-installs-record-number-of-public-electric-vehicle-chargers Article from yesterday. 6,000 new chargers added in UK in first quarter of 2024 taking total to 60,000. The highest rate so far, and a quarter of those are rapids. Led by...

Yeah!! Go the whole hog and open up everything Musk. I reckon I could totally stick a tail-first landing on a Falcon 9…

I use these off-site ‘valet’ parking, like the official Gatwick ones. I use the Tesla app to disable Sentry only once I see that it has been moved to its off-site location. This is often some hours after drop-off in the multi-storey. My logic is that any misdemeanours are going to happen...

This is the MOT centre or service centre instruction set. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-46D867B1-1956-4EBA-8EF1-C3375E062102.html It assumes a Beissbarth Headlight Tester, Model 815 is being used.

Anything useful in the error message? Otherwise, trying in another browser might be worth a stab.

Junior salesman’s first quarterly bonus burning a hole in my pocket as I walked down Tottenham Court Road, as I recall.

I graduated onto a PocketPC running TomTom in 2003. All plumbed in for charging. Between that and the disembodied voice from the ‘TraficMaster’ it was basically a vision of the future shoehorned into a Vectra SRi 😁

47 years old, and today I learnt that ‘gas tumble driers’ are a thing!

Yours looks like mine, and yet rather than smile, I still find myself wondering “who used the 8 units on-peak!”

Interesting to note. Incidentally, how would a non-towing capable towbar be indicated to a subsequent owner? Is the vehicle data plate on the door sill (or wherever it is) different on a factory-fitted towing-capable Tesla?

Also noted this past week that there seemed to be acknowledgment of non-Tesla’s taking up multiple bays in real-time. E.g. ‘16 chargers, 8 vehicles charging, 6 chargers available’ implying a couple of 3rd party vehicles tying up two bays. Could have just been unavailable chargers, but this...
