Received it. Ignored it.

Seems I've got plenty to look forward to!

Update from the SC yesterday. They're replacing the front drive unit and associated gubbins, including shafts, Clevis thingummies etc. Some parts already in, others on order. Is this unusual on a Model S with just over 30,000 miles?

No, it's much earlier than that. Pre-Cambrian, I think. It's a diesel Mercedes E Class. It think E stands for Execrable...

Hi all, Pulling away from lights on a roundabout earlier this week in my 100D (31k miles). Seconds later,about at about 25mph, there's a double popping/soft banging sound, followed by a grinding noise. Front end of the car pulls to the left, almost like it's hit some ice. Very...

Hi all - thanks for the replies. I've checked out Chargemap and it's very useful...I'll get myself a card. I'll post some feedback after our trip.

Hi all Planning a two or three week holiday in France later this year. We'll be pretty rural, so not necessarily conveniently close to the nearest Supercharger. Is there a decent equivalent to Zapmap for France and Europe, that shows the vast majority of third party charging facilities? Thanks

What you got sounds about right on the overall spectrum (allowing for your battery state as you arrived; was it your nav destination etc.)

Late to this thread, so apologies if it's already been stated, but, as far as I'm aware, the Tesla charger isn't "Smart", and therefore has a critical disadvantage when it comes to smart home charging. I may be misguided, in which case guide me...

Hi there, 6 weeks after picking up our MS 100d, we went down to Cornwall for Christmas...our first long road trip. This is how we did it... Left Leicestershire Thursday mid morning with around 50%. Lunch at Hopwood Park M42 while supercharging. Left Hopwood with 98%. Overnighted at Clevedon...

Hi Epico, We're shortlisting home chargers for an October install, and Zappi is on the list. Does your £500 after the OLEV grant include installation, or is that extra? Cheers, D

Just checked the penalty notice. It states that the duration of my stay exceeded the parking period, and payment for parking in excess of the free period was not received. Apparently, you can pay in the services, by phone or online. So, it does seem as if the charge applies to parking...

I was in the car and in the charging bay (but unplugged) for about an hour. I'm not sure that I was fined for spending too long in a charging bay...I think the 2 hour limit might apply generally to all parking at these services, as I was clocked by ANPR cameras. That's why I'm curious as to...

Morning all. I've been issued with a parking fine for overstaying at Grantham. The Grantham Supercharger, not Grantham the town...why would you want to overstay at Grantham? I was Supercharging for the first hour or so, I then unplugged but stayed in the charging bay to continue with...

Hi all, I have a bundle of Xavalec compact charging cable extension leads, adaptors and connectors for sale. Items are a mix of new and barely used. They're listed on eBay..thought I'd mention them here as well. PM me if you're interested. Cheers, Dan
