Don't blame UK we have PLC and Ltd. short for Limited. LLC is American surely.

Yes Nantwich current asking price 10k +VAT but over the phone guy said about 10k. Mike Schooling says the battery blocks are hard to reuse but guy in USA broke a batt for energy storage on youtube. The other parts may be useful drivers door, rear lights, motor, glass, rear hatch looks slightly...

Just been hearing about a Grey Model S 85 being written off at 39 miles. Could this have been before delivery to the customer? Did anyone on here have theirs delayed? Would have been a few months ago I assume. Seems the battery still had the storage charge and had never been charged, that is...

The BMS has limited capability to balance the pack using the bleed resistors of which there are 4 in parallel per cell block. On the picture R20,R21 & R22 are examples. They cannot dissipate much power say 2W total at a guess so may need to operate for longish periods.

At Northampton the plug holders have been put in the middle of the parking bays. Thus unable to reach the car. Doh!

Now watched what turned out to be a commercial for their teardown service. Only featured the head unit (display)

Trying to logon 18.00 uk no luck. LIve at 12.00 EST and on demand from 17.00 est. Will try again

Hi Jerry Would a steel rim of 18" clear the brake? Not sure if 18" is a common tyre size? Because of regen braking the heat dissipation in the brakes is not excessive. On my Leaf I use a stainless disc trim with steel wheels and I believe this gives an aerodynamic advantage. The reduction...

I had the good fortune to visit Lotus engineering 20 odd years ago. They took me round their test track and demonstrated the noise cancelling system they were developing. At the time it was strictly limited to low frequency noise. It is hard to see how higher frequencies could be technically...

I have just received an invite to this webinar. Not sure what connection prompted this. Should be interesting. Rory Upcoming Online Trade Shows | IHS GlobalSpec Events

The range is so heavily speed dependent. I was faced with 75 miles to home on my first journey having collected the car. I stuck to 40 mph and got about 90 miles range.

As an EV driver I should be used to having to wait an hour before continuing my Journey.

Martin Can only pm once per hour. The demo acenta looks to have sold but is still on popup advert as I read your post. They have a 10 mile 2013 reg. acenta for 13.5k which seems cheap. Make sure it is not a Flex ie. battery paid for. Rory

I have got a Leaf and I am very impressed with it. Particularly as the price I paid was half list. This made it comparable or perhaps less than a similar sized ICE from Nissan. Obviously I would love to have a model S but I am just not in that financial situation. I drove the Leaf 400 miles...

Well not too bad. The noticeable thing to me is the final drive is shot. Really noisy and rough the faster you go. I uncovered the cells to find that 2 of the cells were dead and had been removed from the circuit. The previous owner had never looked so in effect the pack is 15 KWh not 30. I...

Well it seems to have survived the 18 month trial and another 3 years private ownership. I have now bought the beast and am off to collect it in the morning. Will be interesting to see what sort of state the cells are in. Rory
