Thanks for that tip! I will try that next time! BTW don't you wish manufactuers would put charge ports on both sides of the car? Justin

Jim, Road pricing has been mooted here too, the London congestion charge is an example of this (brought in by the previous mayor "Red Ken"band only slightly scaled back by Boris) as is the new Dart Charge tax for crossing the Thames at Dartford and soon other east London crossings. Transport...

tesla are about selling batteries and a largly proven technology platform, but regarding charging at somtime in the future governments will relasie that there is a taxation opportinity here, however if the cost of charging has already been purchased with the car it will be difficult to introduce...

Julie and I have made several long trips in the i3 REX and certainly we have experienced a few issues with the Ecotricity CCS chargers, however we have also noticed a significent improvement in the reliability of late. On Monday morning I made a 250 mile trip: From home in Petts Wood (BR5) I...

A roof mounted solar panel that would trickle charge the battery to overcome auxillary syetems losses whilst parked and run the fan to keep the interior cooler during hot days reducing the a/c cooling requirement on return and reducing heat exposure to the interior components.

A feature that seems to be a suprising omission and likely only a software change. Mercedes cars for years have automatically closees the sunroof if the rain sensor (for the wipers) detects rain whilst the car is stationary and parked.

Remember that the European i3's have a larger petrol tank.... Justin

Went to the opening event at Tesla's new Gatwick sales and service centre on Thursday. Great to meet the team there who are so passionate and knowledgeable about their product, a lot like an Apple store. Had a chance to drive a Model S 85kW on some fast roads and fast it certainly is, very well...

Now where did I get that number... I think I used the numbers for 87 Octane. Whatever, it demonstrates the point!

I am waiting to hear what their proposal is. For us a refund is not a viable option at all, how can you have such a high-tech car with a such a low-tech navigation and infotainment system? Frankly for the cost difference I don't even understand why they bother with anything but the best package...

We have two i3's in the family - my father has had his for a month now. We picked up our (loaded) i3 Rex on Monday this week, apart from a big mistake on the build (standard Nav not the Professional as ordered) the car is very impressive indeed. My dad took is from Kent to Torquay this week and...

Our i3 was ordered with the Adaptive LED lights option, but they are not quite as adaptive as BMW make out in their marketing. 1. The main beam is halogen and not intelligent - no high neam assist function 2. They don't seem to follow the car around corners as you would expect. As yet I have...
