    Repair Costs - Grrr

    I had the misfortune of needing to visit Ikea on a busy Saturday. Whilst parked someone (presumably a 4WD) dented the rear right panel on my P85D. The damage was an indentation about the size of my hand and wasn't something I was too concerned about (we are insured with Tesla). Well - imagine...

    Can Australia succeed in becoming the "OPEC" for BEV motive force?

    In the thread linked below I made the assertion that WA has world-leading supplies of cobalt and lithium, both likely to be cheaper and easier to extract than in most locations.

    Mobile Detailing

    I had Josh from Spectrum Auto Refinishing remove a few minor blemishes from the car today. First class work. If you need someone to do this kind of work and you don't want your car in the shop for a day or two then this is the way to go. Very professional job.
