@Teslarati @ravenpablo The articles are misleading, it was actually seized for no insurance, as it was being used in the UK by a British resident for more than 6 months which requires a car to be reregistered here after that time, but it can't be as it hasn't been approved in the UK.

@For_Film_Fans @Grok was this really the original trailer?

@BottlecapDave I reached out to @OctopusEnergy and they confirmed API live heat pump Cosy data is here to stay, albeit some tweaks are happening. They also hope to add more data but aren't sharing what/when yet.

@WhamBaamX This is why you need to show down and use rear fog lights, madness that they aren't required in the US

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@teslaeurope UK next?

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@eivissacopter Strange that the Model S Plaid can't tow as every example that came to the UK from Europe had the tow package fitted as standard for 1600kg. It's also a shame it's not 1850kg as that would allow a lot more trailers and caravans given 0.85 ratio from 2183kg curb weight.

I was really impressed with this fully electric 3 phase barn conversion AirBNB in rural France that even has fibre internet until I saw the random choc block connector coming out of the bathroom wall into the kitchen that was live @ArtElectrics. I still find bathroom sockets odd!

@MikeRadio @TeslaSoftUpdate Use the usb drive in the glovebox to get all the clips and camera angles, and much better quality than via the phone. I remove the drive weekly for the dashcam events. If you don't pay for the premium connectivity it's the only way to get the clips anyway.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@WhamBaamX @falgantil In which case the only way is to remove the trim by the passenger door and manually release it that way, it'll vary on which model and age of car it is,but there are guides online or on YouTube.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@falgantil @WhamBaamX There are also numerous articles about this, but I can't find it mentioned in the manual. People have documented it working though.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@falgantil @WhamBaamX This is already a feature, plenty of information out there about this.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@ArtElectrics Why isn't a circuit breaker enough for this?

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@TeslaOwnersUK @Tesla Autopilot, such a game charger from when it was released and maybe FSD one day in the UK. Supercharger network is number 2.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@TeslaOwnersUK 20 😁😁

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@raimonick I spotted this too. This is common with all big papers these days, hard to find unbiased EV news, doesn't seem to be a good source in the UK.

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@jtchivers @GunterFehlinger Agreed, although they have 16A rather than 13A though, it's usefully more power. They also have better contact with the round pins so fewer granny leads overheating.

⚡️ There are 234 GW of potential Energy Storage System projects on the National Grid TEC register, many will be batteries🔋 like the ones @TeslaOwnersUK visited today.

📊 Here's the data broken down by year and project status.

Data from @NationalGridESO TEC Register.

Some very good news you probably won’t have heard about today, but could be the best thing the govt has done for EV drivers.

The Public Charge Point Regs 2023 may not sound exciting, but things are about to get a lot better for EV drivers! Thread 🧵

[Aaron Cocker @AaronCockerEV]

@raimonick @EVAEOfficial I was there! Didn't spot me in that video though. Model S Plaid was fun to drive 😁
