    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    I would be tempted to put it on the dogs collar but he’s a fully fledged launch hound. 🐶 Not sure what to attach it to yet, suggestions on a post(card) 😁

    MG4 headlight adjustment

    I had the same issue. Took me ages (because I’m lazy) to go fiddle with the adjusters and since then it’s brilliant. Well worth the time (5-10 mins max) to dial in. It didn’t help that I drove to Belgium and to save sticking the lens things over as I’d only really be driving in the day, I just...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Did Edinburgh and back (Chester pretty much) over a long weekend. Took out Tesla membership for the occasion. 5x 20-30 min charges over the course of home-Edinburgh-the Kelpies-ikea thrice-Glasgow on the way back-home.1ncharge at Gretna on the way up, another the next day for the excursion and...

    What happened with XPowers with the built in vibrator

    Pretty sure we’re all old enough to appreciate this one 😁

    First big road trip in the Turbo Tango 😀

    Yeah, what I meant was the “thinking about charging”was offloaded to ABRP as it monitored my usage and route and adapted the charger for me. I don’t think waze has the charging routing right? You’d have to tell it to take you to this specific charger? ABRP was saying you’re heading here and you...

    Those were the cheap n tacky ones I got to replace them in a hurry 🤣. These apparently do fade. The alloy ones were still vibrant after 2 years (maybe because I never touched them? :D )

    First big road trip in the Turbo Tango 😀

    Preliminary stats are in: Total driving time was around 20 hours (not including the commutes to and from the office) Total charging time was 1hr 59 mins over 5 stops (again, the car was ready before I was) Total charge taken: 169 kwh for a total cost of £59.01 (oh yeah, membership was 9.99 so I...

    First big road trip in the Turbo Tango 😀

    Oh yeah, my other pre-flight task was to fix something I'd been avoiding. I bought those cheap shiny orange valve caps and by the time I got the car back from the repair they'd seized on. Turns out a common issue and I mullered the rubber on a valve trying to force it with two pliers previously...

    First big road trip in the Turbo Tango 😀

    Afternoon all, I'd been wanting to do it for ages but it was either being repaired or the work schedule didn't fall right but finally I was up for a trip to the office and the weather was suitable enough to do it. Working from home is nice but the time comes a couple of times a year to "show...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    It was in OPD, I don’t really use anything else TBH. As soon as it’ll let me enable it I’m on that. Usually scares the shizz out of me the first couple of junctions when I can’t enable it 😂 I wanted to be out for a long time not a good time yesterday. sorry, I won’t do it again 😁

    Ah, not just mine looking like that today after being “clean” yesterday. Got a good run in today, single charged it to perfection 👌

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Ouch, sounds a bit of a rough ride. I over-plan most things so I don't have an issue figuring out where I'm likely going to need a charge for a bigger day out. I'm also a skinflint so I mainly plan ahead so I can pick the better value chargers in the area I need. If you haven't already you...

    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    That is amazingly detailed. I can't help but feel the price is justified in the fact they bothered to make tooling/molds for such a niche item. If I had a little extra, I'd be sorely tempted. I look forward to some actual user pictures (y)

    Have I made a terrible mistake?

    You’ve gone awfully quiet for someone with a brand new XPower. I do hope your post title isn’t foreshadowing and that you’re just busy enjoying it 😁 Let us know, show it off! 😊
