Selling ToughLeads EV Granny Charger 13A Plug-RCD - 15 meters Been in use since 2020, reliably charging my Tesla. Selling now as I have moved house. No damage other than a few scratches from 3 years of use. £20 + Free P&P (to the UK)

Been looking into Domestic AC, and been struggling to find installers whom aren't quoting £8k+ for a 4 way split system to replace our aging gas boiler. Do you have any suggestions for resources for Domestic AC install & cost? I tried reaching out to Octopus regarding their heat-pumps, however...

ElectroVerse by Octopus & if you're planning to go to Europe it doesn't hurt to get Shell's EV app and card. There's quite a few charging points in Belgium, The Netherlands and France that I've run into that are listed on the Octopus App, but don't work with their charge card (yet saying they do...

Protyre / Team ProTyre - Though online they've got the wrong name for the Tire listed as 'Pirelli Scopion All Season II'. Call them up and they'll confirm it's the SF2 tyre, not the other one (that's only in America)...

👀 Popped outside to check. 100% says Extra Load on the sidewalls! Honestly really happy with these tires, already put on 120 miles including in the snow in Brighton yesturday, took it slow but got through with no issues!

Ended up getting the Pirelli Scorpion All Season SF2's in 255/45/19R They ended up being the ELECT variant, designed for Volvos. Stamped with the Three-Peak symbol; came to £800 all-in. Not noticibly noiser than the standard Hankooks, and slightly more comfortable. Off to Germany this week, so...

Just an update for other TMC users. Booked 4 x CrossClimates for installtion this morning with ATS. Arrived to be told that they're a shortage on these tyres, with no stock expected until the first week of Janurary... now onto finding alternatives

Been struggling to find Cross Climates 2 in stock for the Model Y (255, 45, R19) for our Christmas trip to Europe next week. Was going to chance it with the stock Summer Tyres; however last year in our Model 3, 3cm of snow was enough to leave us spinning high and dry (Notably they were Pilot...

Just got 40.4.1 on my Model Y. The Auto headlights are much improved; night and day difference. The range that it can see other cars headlights has doubled if not tripled , and it’s now even seeing them if they’re partly obscured (other side of the motorway) etc. If you’ve been frustrated...

Turn Sentry mode on, lock the car with yourself inside and find out ;)

Shell Recharge will get you the best coverage (in my opinion), in both the UK and Europe. Didn't have one charger not accept Shell Recharge on my roadtrip last month. However, you won't be paying the cheapest prices; they add a premium of around 10% compared to the EJN.

It’s a 2020 model. Few key ways to tell (having owned one) - 2021 models were only registered Dec 2020 onwards. Nov and earlier are 2020 models. - 2021 has a sliding centre console (a challenge to retrofit) - Powered tail gate (can be after market) - Blacked out Chrome (can be after market) -...

Just wanted to add to this. Did a UK -> Germany trip two weeks ago! Had no issues using Electric Juice, except in Belgium & Luxembourgh where it didn't work at any chargers. These were under the Operators 'Chargy' and 'BlueCorner'. Both of these brands were listed in the Electric Juice app...

With the June 2022 Model Y deliveries to the UK having the Parcel Shelf. I decided to reach out to my local SC, to ask if they'll be offering a Free or Paid Retrofit.
