It’s not possible for me to install a home charger just yet, as I need a smart meter first and that can’t be installed yet for two reasons; the cut-out is metal cased, and it also contains asbestos.

I’m waiting for the DNO to arrange to replace it, hopefully fairly soon. Thankfully this will be at no cast to me.

Also, it turns out my electricity supply is 3-phase (so said the DNO guy who came out to inspect it) so does that mean I could stick in a 22kWh charger? I forget to ask him when he was here.

Listened to an excellent podcast on cars, battery technology, hydrogen etc on my walk this morning. The podcast was called " Dough, the future of cars " and it's available on the BBC.

That was a good listen and the expert rubbished the Idea of hydrogen cars. So he's clearly talking sense.

Wife has decided she likes her car so much, she wants to keep it forever! :ohmy:

120k miles

With that, I sent it in for Tesla service, new suspension arms, bushings, brake service, drive shaft modification, replace a couple of harness's under warranty, updated LTE modem and drive motors final drive oil, filter change. They don't normally do this unless stripping down the motors or replacing, something about lifetime oil-not sure of that, independents recommend around 100k service- I agree with that..

Tomorrow a new set of tyres go before she has a few big trips around the country
