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 )

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...

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...

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...

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 👌

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...

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)

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! 😊

I think the nippier than standard ER is the big brain thinking man’s car. The xpower is more for those with the smaller brain doing the thinking 🤪 (all in jest, of course) Just out of interest are there any female XP owners? I’m out of the loop.

I’m sorely tempted to upgrade mine. I’ve no idea if I’ll appreciate it though as I don’t think it’s BAD per se at the moment. But maybe I don’t know what GOOD sounds like? Y’know? Sorry for the derail OP, do it BTW, if you’ve test driven one and know what you’re getting into and would LIKE the...

And ideally not even those if the concrete is still wet 😂

Orange as I wanted it to look like most of the other trophy’s on the road. Plus I like orange and if I was ever gonna own a car bonkers enough to warrant being bright frickin orange, this was it.

That’s pretty specific 🤨 Anyone else hear it in the voice of experience? 😂
