It was snowing when my M3 was deleverd last year ... and it was like driving a sledge . So I decided Winter tyres ... and I had some rims . 18" Speedlines which I believe were used in a Tarmac Rally Subaru , I had them on my road Subaru 10 years ago and resurected them . Got the bore...

I noticed this on my first trip to Ireland - Dublin. From North East Scotland , and further trips into Europe , it’s just planning and it works out OK as the car thinks you are driving the whole way so you should have spare miles at the other side I do Dublin and Düsseldorf / Brussels trip...

Good review and pretty much what I decided too. I had an I4 M50 for 24 hours on January 4th , it was cold but I could not get more then 2.2ml/kW and I was going very slow at times did about 150 miles in it. Nice car but cost of the options and the poor mileage ruled it out for me , I could...

We have had a Leaf for a few years and I ordered a second card for my Tesla , Been charging OK since January , then when I needed it most the app and card stopped working. It seems ordering the second card broke something and they had not been taking Direct Debits , they would not enable it...

Great advice and good comment on the range changing going north and south , might not be too noticeable with the current weather but you see it a lot in more winter times And I concur don’t worry about long drives , I went to London from Aberdeen on day two when I got a 2wd SR+ , no issues but...

I got the same email on Wednesday , then a new one today saying I was getting switched to a new tariff on the 25th … clicked through and it was triple Did a polite WTF email to Octopus and the confirmed will still be on 14.5/5 TFFT

Unless your lucky and can wall mount , as Upgraded states the civils can cost more than the actual charge points and cabling . Im fortunate and could put in the 3 dual 22kW chargers , we had plenty capacity on the power side the chargers cost £400 more than dual 7kW ones so it was an easy...

We put in 3 RolecEV dual 22Kw chargers (About £1350 +vat each) , they have a key to control access on each port. We ended up buying chargers and getting them installed when some ground work was being done. The 3 dual 22kW we less installed than PodPoint we quoting for 2 single 7kW . Plus...

Update ... yes there is a difference

Interesting thread , I went from Aberdeen to south of London in winter weather Scotland is not the best place for long distance EV usage , stuck to 65-75 as that's what people were doing think it got about 310Wh/mil , that was a 2019 M3 SR + and 580 miles but cold weather Now Petrol (Gas...

Im trying to fit one of those aftermarket dash's , I ordered it well in advance of getting the car and there was no options for Ryzen processor then . Now I come to fit it today and the port I think it is has to use is a different connector . It came from China and they are shut for a...

Got back late on Friday to an un-completable length of jobs my wife had set ... so I didn't get a look , like the relay option

I was spending £1000 + a month on hire cars and then fuel on top of that

Its fully expensed, the company pays for all charging including home and we have 22kW charges all all UK and Ireland sites ... but not in Europe yet

I will let you know .. but my VW stopped working for 10 months until it was updated with Apple Play , lets see how this goes .. when I get round to actual fitting it !

Just some thoughts on my first 4 months on Tesla ownership and how I got there . I am not new to EV’s we have a 2021 Leaf which is just for day to day usage and my wife now calls it her car. I support IT several sites across the UK and Ireland . During lockdown this still needed to be done but...

And mandatory ... probably need it to start 😅

OK Im charging my company but £9.99 is not going to break the bank on a lease .. its not like we are paying for a Diesel car ...

I called Leaespan today .. to beg for them to extend my one moth trial which ends on May 1st ... and they reconfigured my account so I could pay . It took a couple of min with the right guy and a new option appeared in my app Manage, I could then add a subscription

Wow its never empty when I go there , managed to dodge Scotch Corner this trip now I have a LR , been there 2 times and ether full or badly parked cars meant you could not charge. Came back from Immingham to Aberdeen on Friday and the traffic was going slow .. possibly saving fuel ...

I said it was far too early for a PDI too but nobody had seen a text like this (Because they dont PDI 🤣 ) , after some checks they called me to say damaged in transit , who knows what ship its on but it can't be repaired in time . Cars are damaged in transit more often than you think ...
