Not sure if you’re aware but swiping down on the address search also automatically enters in your home address. Easier and quicker option compared to using voice.

Or you can just tap the ‘home’ icon under the navigate box…

But that involves you tapping on the Navigate section then selecting Home. But either works

Rather large boot from memory

I had a p76 v8 4 speed manual. Loved it, only car where I could throw stuff in the boot without having to worry of not enough room.

Yeah was more just testing it out than trying to do anything in particular.

I think my novated lease company just sent me this, last time I got car wash stuff but this looks fancy!

Let’s look inside:

Jump starter and warning flares

Poncho haha

First aid kit and fire extinguisher

That was nice of them.

Not sure if the jump starter will help on a tesla, and God forbid your tesla catches alight, you are gonna need a bigger fire estinguisher. Which nl?

Also got one of these to get the leaves out of my grill before I put the covers on

I think if your battery goes completely flat there is something behind the bumper you can connect this too so you can open the bonnet, then the doors and get to the charge port.
I just had a look at it, pretty cool has usb charge ports and all kinds of stuff.
Can prob jump other people’s ice cars.

Fire extinguisher for ice vehicles that allegedly never catch on fire.

Just to confirm it’s definately ok to have wall connector connected to car if it rains?
Wall connector is under cover but car and handle thing might get rained on

So out in the weather like when you use the supercharger? You’ll be fine.

Does it pickup pubes in the aircon ducts?

Ohh I didn’t think of that!! I’m guessing it will.
It has a magnetic tip too for any steel wool pubes too.

At a holiday home once I charged using the UMC while it rained overnight. I had to run an extension lead out to reach the car, and put the UMC under the rear of the car on top of a small plastic container to keep it off the ground. No issues.

I’m looking forward to those kinds of adventures! I just can’t get enough time in the seat lately, even driving the long way home. I think I need to plan my next driving holiday.
