    Luton Tesla Superchargers open for business

    I was by there yesterday and two charger cables were laying on the ground. I'd like to think they were from non-Tesla users...

    MOT Bedford or MK

    I got mine done at Mr Clutch in Luton. I took the gen and they were compliant and eager to please. I've had MOTs and brakes done there for 10+ years. Ask for Dave.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    What more could you ask for? McDonalds, Starbucks, Costa, Halfords and, er, Poundland just a few steps away ;) And Aldi's just across the throughfare with their handful of slow chargers. Not far from J10 of the M1 and adjacent to Luton Airport Parkway that occasionally has running trains...

    Then you've not seen the Model S Shooting Brake 😉

    Red line on the ground by traffic lights..

    Oh no! I parked itself twice in three years... albeit in Spain. Summons works some of the time... The need to signal for a lane change is good disipline for other cars ;-)

    TomTom dash install

    Agreed, it looks great. Having my navigator sittting in my lap while driving is a bit awkward. We use the sucky TT mount on the windscreen in front of her 😊

    UK : Ditching the 18" Aero Covers

    I went for the Rimetrix covers... curb rash easily dealt with a spray can and they also cover historical whoopsies. Cost about the same as redoing three wheels that met their fate from injudicious parking. I collected them on a trip to the US. Just about fit in a suitcase ;-) PS The car...

    Hertz Model Y Rental review

    The dreaded phantom touch... worse than phantom braking! I had a problem with this that did not go away with any number of resets. I took the the the Barcelona Service Centre and they subsequently cracked the screen... not covered under warranty. Blamed my garage door clicker for breaking...

    French toll tags (e.g. ULYS and others) and Revolut / Starling and UK banks payment - HOW TO

    Another factor which drove us to Ulys is the mere €5 bump for French motorway recovery. Thanks to Emovis initially for introducing us to easy French/Spanish toll booth egress... Thanks for the Revolute investigation... I've been using Rev's easy no-fee exchange to wedge up my Spanish back...

    Charging in the Spanish Pyrenees

    Amen. The Destination Charge at the parador at Argomaniz is a favourite - a bit tight maneuvering in the garage but free juice is worth the care ;-)

    Non-Tesla charging sucks

    My feelings exactly until I encountered Electra in France. The notice said I could be charging in a minute. I said "Go ahead, punk. Make my day ;-)" Damn if it didn't give forth lots of KW with a charge card swipe - and I had an app that might have worked too (Electromap).

    Model Y Tyres, difference between Tesla rated and standard?

    I'm beginning to think this is a "lesson" built into every Tesla: forget their roadside promise. Same thing happened to me. AA guy came out and did the temp patch and told me to get a real internal patch within 50 miles (company policy). Importantly, he gave me the tip about the plastic...

    Road Hero bundle travels with me, always. Having been stuck in northern France on a Sunday with AA or Tesla Roadside unavailable, it's DIY for me.

    Model Y Tyres, difference between Tesla rated and standard?

    At £80 per embarassment, I've gone with the Rimetrix covers... They are EZ PZ to touch up when they meet a rogue rock on the unpaved track up to my finca ;-)

    Michelin Pilot Sport Tyres (non Tesla)

    +1 for the photo request. I am running Rimetrix "curb rash covers" and am about to go with the Hankooks... I'm mystified how the wheel cover won't fit...

    This news just in from EO: Unfortunately, I am not able to confirm how the ISO15118 will work with the EO Mini Pro 3 until it has been released. I am aware that any existing EO Mini Pro 3 will not be able to be upgraded to have the ISO15118 once it has been released as it will be a hardware...

    Checklist for travel in France - advice appreciated

    I'll second the motion for the Ulys tag. Works a treat in France and Spain. Big plus is their "Relax" feature for €5 a month that does motorway recovery... having given up on Tesla Roadside and AA (Green Flag untested thus far). Ours clips to the M3's visor (awkwardly) but works fine. No...

    Model 3 poll - have you changed battery

    The Force us with us... but just in case, I am now carrying a MN21, jumper battery, 10mm spanner and a 12V battery - long expeditions thru France and Spain and horror stories about Tesla support have made me paranoid ;-)

    Model Y Hankook tyres - how many miles would you expect from them?

    I've got a 2020 M3 Long Range... 30K miles currently, lots of those miles on motorways at sane speeds. Wife insists on Chill Mode around town ;-) I switch to winters as required but relatively few miles done during cold weather. Never rotated. I've replaced two tyres - due to bad bad...

    Sometimes I think there should be an exam on the manual contents before collection. A quick ten questions (just to prove that the file was openned), pass could be 80% and then get your cards ;-)

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    The remedy for bird poop and slight scuffs is Paint Protection Film. Some insurers become aroused if they think you are wrapping the car (different colour?) but PPF seems to be OK with mine, at least

    Cabin overheat protection, how to?

    Yup, that's the lamentable situation as described to me by Tesla in Spain last summer. Either have your car protected or, if stuck parking in the sun, have your seats melt :-(

    2019 SR+ nearly as dead as a dead thing

    I carry a little MN21 12V battery in my pocket for frunk popping. Inside the frunk I keep a 12V jump starter. And in the boot of my 3 year old M3, I carry a 12V battery on long trips to avoid the pain of rainy Sunday nights in back-of-beyond France waiting for recovery;-) And a Road Hero...

Now that I have time on my...
