the truth about electric cars

[Ootohere]

My bad.

So the car is fixed.  Wonderful.  Leave it with them then until the sort out their crap. 

[J.R.]

"Handed a bill for £173743 and "still have not seen their luxury car/boat 😄 since it was wheeled away from the side of the road" would indicate they have not paid said bill, the tale told to the media is in the hope that Tesla will fix it for free.

 

Interesting to see revealed by Rooted that the guy is as equally media savvy as the one who claimed his MG would not stop, has any more come to light about his claims?

 

Good to read that Tesla will respond on behalf of the business once they have investigated, it confirms my belief that what people are believing they have said is hearsay at present.

 

If it is fixed then the owner will have authorised the repairs to go ahead in accordance with the quote/estimate, no way would the garage have done work of that magnitude for a contentious customer without authorisation.

 

And now he is baulking at paying.

But its still not confirmed either way.

Is the Manufacturing Engineer a different Robert Hussey?   Just being nosy.    (Would at least understand about H2O.)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the owners manual yet (no doubt a non printed one!) I only RTFM when all else has failed but even I know mine gives a maximum depth of water and has a pictogram showing that height in relation to the wheels and body cill.

 

 

Here is the link to the UK Tesla Model 3 owners manual online...

Model 3 Owner's Manual (tesla.com)

 

No mention that I can find in the various subsections regarding "wading depth" or even driving through flooded roads/deep puddles.....nothing in fact!!...Only thing I can find is on how to operate the car in cold weather ...

The T&C,s as the Warranty they got will be relevant, and an Independent Experts Report will be important as things are.

Interesting power lines on one of the Autobahns we were on the other week. My initial thought was they were for trolley busses but after a look online it's a test bed for powering electric trucks.

 

 

 

This wasn't near Frankfurt but there's more here with a video.

You did state "I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the owners manual yet"....thats why I provided the link after reading it...

[Graham Butcher]

I did know that there were some tests being done, but I never posted about it because I thought that nobody would believe it, as everyone seems to chuck their weight behind Tesla, however they are not the leaders in electric trucks, these people are.

Good grief, that was only 17 seconds long in total, and you do have arrow keys on a keyboard to fast-forward 

[J.R.]

Well I am narrow minded like every other person on this forum aside from yourself according to you.

 

15 seconds is more than enough to tell me about the person making the video, 2 seconds is enough when its an enthusiastic "HI GUYS!" to loud brash accompanying music.

 

Just like scrolling down to see how long one of your tomes is going to endure.

This Tesla story has now reached the USA and also into the electronics world.

 

 

[J.R.]

Whilst he is clearly incapable of currency conversion (1 Brexit UK dollar = 2 Brexit Scotland dollars) he claims to be an expert in water damaged electronics, from 2 minutes 0 seconds he explains that "Everybody lies!"

[Breezy_Pete]

He knows far less than you do about electronics.

I'm lying.

29,000 Canadian Dollars.      SG22 YAY

not showing as insured on theInsurance data base ,

or showing on the DVLA database.  On a personal plate maybe.

He also goes on to fully explain what he means by that and that a car should be more than capable of being driven in the wet and also that they should be designed that they can be repaired.

It could be either of those two plates as he may have had the car wrapped. Even it was on a personal plate, it still show up on the DVLA and Insurance systems.

[Ootohere]

@Graham ButcherMy personal plates show on the DVLA Data Base & ASK MID.   But on the number on the car now, not the registration that it had at First Registration / leaving the dealers wearing.

 

No idea if that red Tesla car was photographed this week or last month or before.  ie when it was wearing that registration.

Yes, I think it must be one of those other 2 that you listed. Iran that Range Rover at Luton had personal registration number twice in its life, but they were all listed on the DVLA database. Are you supposed to let DVLA know if you change the colour?

Only if it's a permanent change IIRC. Not needed if being wrapped for e.g.

[Ootohere]

Yes you are.  & people do not.   Actually the Police in England seem not to bother on the TV programmes, they do in Scotland.

YET 1    maybe like that.   (Is it a diesel still?)

@Rooted still a diesel. Just over 46K miles now.
