    Bodyshop recommendation for Leeds area

    I’ve also heard these guys are good in Wakefield which may be more conventions. https://www.topgunccr.co.uk/ They quoted me £550 for the same job.

    Bodyshop recommendation for Leeds area

    Uh.. my dent and scuff cost me £550 all in. It wasn’t quite as bad as yours, and it was on the other side. Only problem I had was that part of the car was spotless clean by the time they had finished, meaning I had to clean the rest of the car so it didn’t look odd.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Just popped by the westbound services again. Exactly the same here. 2 chargers have been removed and replaced by a metal box. Also only 5 charge point signs have been erected covering 6 bays. I get the impression this is going to be downsized to 6 stalls each side of it opens.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    It looks like there has been some activity. Because my memory is so bad that I can't remember how this place looks despite driving through it once a week, I've managed to find a view of it on google maps to compare that is relatively recent...

    I drove through Brighouse Westbound services today, and there was activity! There was a bloke mounting the EV charging signage above the superchargers. There were also two Model S's parked in the supercharger bays. On my way home this evening I will go via the Eastbound services, and see if...

    Retrofit CCS on 2016 S cost query

    I was under the impression Tesla fitted their own connector. Turns out that is a US only thing. I didn’t know the standard type 2 socket could be used for supercharging.

    Retrofit CCS on 2016 S cost query

    If your car has a type 2, then is it already capable of CCS? Type 2 is the round bit at the top. CCS adds an oval bit to the bottom of the connector. this is CCS on the left and type 2 on the right.

    Spend about £40 and get a raspberry pi, and run it on there. If you can manage it in GCP, you can probably manage it on a pi.

    Easy-on Seat Covers

    They hook over the back of the headrest and sit there. I use them with kids car seats. They are held in place on the actual seat by the weight of the seat. Probably not what you are looking for,

    Easy-on Seat Covers

    I’ve got these which do the job. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S3L9B96 I do use them with car seats. I think they would slide around a lot without them.

    You can send as many as you want. The payments appear in your account a few minutes after you make them. I’ve made 4 so far, due to the £10,000 limit of transfers from my account.

    Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

    I’ve received mine 3 weeks before pickup which seems strange based on other people’s experience. I’m making payments and the outstanding balance is dropping in the account page though, so should be paid off well in advance of collection.

    Anything I can do? Need delivery ASAP!

    There was a car in stock near me according to their website. Turns out it was actually on the same boat as my allocated car. I would take what is on the website with a grain of salt. Having said that if you’ve been told it’s at Brent Cross then you may be in luck. Not sure there is anything you...

    How long before your collection date do they send you your final invoice to pay? I'm going to need to make payments over several days to clear the balance, so I hope they give at least a weeks notice.

    Premium connectivity Spotify

    In that case, the issue is probably due to the deal with Spotify. The free Spotify account is a lower bitrate. This is probably something akin to that.

    Premium connectivity Spotify

    Bandwidth on mobile networks is expensive. Reducing the bitrate reduces the bandwidth being used, which reduces their bill to whoever provided the connectivity. £10 a month is a pretty low amount to pay for data, Spotify and whatever else is included. They likely get a decent discount for bulk...

    I spoke to Tesla yesterday who told me that my SR+ was on a ship due to arrive in Southampton end of May/beginning of June. I then got an email response today to a 4 day old email telling me 2nd week of June for delivery. I'm working on the GLOVIS SUN being the ship for me.

    Thanks for this. Based upon your recommendation I contacted Graham, and he came out and installed a charger a few days ago. He was excellent and went beyond what he needed to do to help me. Still waiting for him to send me an invoice, but considering it’s a bank holiday, I will let him off!

    The girl on the phone knew about the update to the pricing, but was adamant there was no way to change my order. I half expected when I emailed in to cancel they would just drop the price for me, but I guess they must want that extra £100 out of me! The good news is the reduction pays for my...
