    Did you have any regrets buy an EV before current fuel price hike ?

    I've been driving EV's for 7 years now and loved every day of it. This week I had to hire a van for my offsprings house move and hated it. I asked the young lady if Enterprise had any electric vans in their fleet. She said they had a few but people didn't like them because of the range. I did...

    Problem with Tesla CCS plugs

    I have a 2022 ZS LR also, and my local MG dealer wanted to charge me for the Tesla update, even when I was already paying for a service. I had the nexr service done 30 miles away in Bath and they did it for free. My advice , , , contact dealers within your local area and ask if they do the...

    For one room, try a free standing infra red panel. Cheaper to run than a fan heater.

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    Ah, you can see why he wanted to make Canada the 51st state then. Tango Man is obsessed with fossil fuels. Oh, and don't forget Greenland . . . Nothing to do with threats from Russia or China, and everything to do with the massive untapped resources which would cause environmental disaster to...

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    As Robert Llewellyn points out in a recent podcast with Dan Ceasar, Tango Man thought that ousting the Iranian regime would be as easy as it was ousting the Venezualan regime. Hasn't quite worked out like that though.

    Balcony Solar

    I think it was Matt at the "Undecided" channel who did a video on balcony solar. A great idea for people living in rented apartments, or even rented houses, you could hang them on a fence. Edit: Found it.

    On an episode of Mythbusters, they put filtered, used cooking oil in a deisel truck without any modifications and it ran fine.

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    Don't forget, any fuel they sell today, will have to be replaced by fuel which has increased in price. As a buisness, they are going to sell the existing stock they have at the price it will cost them to replace it so as not to take a hit on their profits. Not saying it's right or fair, it's...

    I tend to use the granny charger when the sun is out so that some goes into the car and some into the battery.
