The TV show (I'm not saying which) is unconfirmed. Before all that we need to know if we can find a wealthy race enthusiast who wants to get a car for this purpose. We are talking about a FIA approved track.day car that will go to 60 in not much over 2 seconds and corners on rails. Otherwise we...

2018 we're talking with promoters for Asia and the Americas. If there is enough interest I don't see why Oz couldn't be on the list frankly. Great place. Great people.

I should have added some very important information that is not yet fully public... The race calendar for this year: Race 1: August 12th: Silverstone Race 2: September 2nd: Assen Race 3: September 23rd: Nurburgring Race 4: October 7th: Algarve Portimao Race 5: October 28th: Misano Race 6...

Hi all, Sorry I've been silent for a while. Busy organizing a world championship :) Ends up we have an opportunity for one person in the EU and one in the US to own a track day carbon fibre P100DL. They are for a certain famous international TV car show but afterwards they are yours. I...

The folks a transportevolved.com wrote a great article... I really like their style. The night before the release I wrote about Electric GT here ElectricGT so I suppose we may want to concentrate the discussion there as things progress. If it were me I'd use the P90D (or P100D :) ) but the...

Yeah, we started talking the idea seriously after TMC Connect. It has taken a lot of effort to get to this stage, but now it is really happening. Next Connect I will have a lot more to talk about :) This is without a doubt the #1 issue. Removing weight will help a lot though. Our race...

Hi fellow Tesla enthusiasts, I wanted to communicate this to you guys before things get released to the press as I value TMC and thought you might like to hear it first. For about a year now some motorsport friends and I have been putting together what is going to be the ElectricGT world...

As destination chargers are <100kW where is no need to offer a Combo/CCS. I am not aware of any destination chargers in the EU, but we don't need Tesla to do that for us... I've already set up over 35 22kW outlets in hotels around Spain and all you need to do is call them to book a room or a...

Awesome news!!.... Yesterday the Spanish government officially announced an exception for Tesla through to Nov 2017 to allow them to deploy superchargers without a CCS for every (yes it was EVERY) supercharger connection. This is great news for us down here who have been waiting 2 years...

I recently did my longest trips ever on a single charge in the Roadster (206 miles with 20 still left in the battery and including a climb from 200m up to 1200m and down to 650m on the way). The car has 40k miles on it and frankly my rear can't take a longer drive even if the battery can! :)...

If it was going to cost me $275 I'd have them do it every time. but €2000 is what they quoted me. Definitely sounds like it is dirty. It is nearly 40C outside here in Madrid but my PEM doesn't go above 50C without driving insanely hard, so clearly a clean PEM means the temperature can be...

Ok... I feel a little better about CCS now. I still fail to understand why ANY legislation is required here, but if this is the way things have to be then when will there be CCS to Tesla adapter? It can't be much more complex than the chademo adapter right?

Just ran into this thread now... Here in Spain, despite being one of the worst places in the EU for EVs with the least infrastructure, they have already put this requriement into law! The logic of forcing CCS but not Chademo escapes me. I don't buy into there being any regulations here (makes...

Bah.. the usual. Boy meets girl. Girls moves back to home country. Boy jumps on motorobike and learns Spanish.

Certainly if I had to clean the blower fan (which in my case would mean removing the anti roll bar) then there is no question it would take 4 hours or more, but just the PEM?... I sense a challenge coming on for the next PEM cleaning:) As for the accent. This is my taimed-down accent. It was...
