I hope so, you never know with my family....Siphoning petrol.
Back in the 70's I remember my dad quite often siphoning my petrol out of my car with tubing .Sucking it up and spitting it out when he got a mouthful as it started coming out the end of the tube , when my brother had lent his car and ran it dry.Siphoning petrol.
So glad you remembered me getting it during the first lockdown @proactive and mentioned re-charging it. Just plugged it in and it's only just over half charged. Cheers for that@staffordjas, I think you bought a jump starter to keep in your car in case of emergencies last year. Just a reminder, with winter approaching, that they need charging up every six months, even if you've not used it, in order to maintain maximum performance.
Do it when the clocks change.So glad you remembered me getting it during the first lockdown @proactive and mentioned re-charging it. Just plugged it in and it's only just over half charged. Cheers for that
That's a good idea .Do it when the clocks change.
Can't say I really miss mine. So many niggles and problems (put right without fuss by Tesla, but still). The highlight was pulling out of a junction in evening rush hour one December and everything just died. My how I was popular with other motorists that night.New Tesla just arrived at work, been for a spin. Brutal, just brutal.

If you have a driveway then you can have a home charger installed and top up each night. If you don't have one then there's the 50kw Instavolt chargers at the Hough that you can use when you need to fill up.I'd have one, but no where I can charge it up at home safely. :?
They all get charged from fossil fuels, whether they are Self-Charging, PHEV or BEV.No such thing as a self charging hybrid. It gets charged by fossil fuel.
He had a test drive of a Tesla a couple of years ago and his concise assessment of its performance characteristics were - "It would scare the living shite out of you".
PHEV or BEV may get some of theirs from non-fossil generation - nuclear, wind, solar, biomass, hydro, etc, the proportion being dependant upon where they are charged.They all get charged from fossil fuels, whether they are Self-Charging, PHEV or BEV.
Indeed. Though mainly it's gas and nuke at this time of year and maybe a bit of coal.PHEV or BEV may get some of theirs from non-fossil generation - nuclear, wind, solar, biomass, hydro, etc, the proportion being dependant upon where they are charged.
True but it does seem like the car companies are forgetting to mention that the electric part is being charged by the fossil fuel engine in the car. Iām positive some people will think that it just magically stays charged.They all get charged from fossil fuels, whether they are Self-Charging, PHEV or BEV.
That is exactly what some people think, thereās a write up somewhere from someone who had a cab driver make a comment about their EV taxi and ācanāt wait to get one of those self-charging hybrids so I donāt need to plug it ināTrue but it does seem like the car companies are forgetting to mention that the electric part is being charged by the fossil fuel engine in the car.
