Tesla Model Y

Did you ring them and tell them you've already taken time off work, booked the train and organised a lift to Baldonnell? That's not acceptable to change it on you and expect you to rearrange everything.

It probably doesn't matter to a lot of people, especially Dublin based. But once you explain to them that all the arrangements are already in place and cannot be changed I am sure they will understand.

I guarantee you, the reason it got changed in the first place is because someone else rang them looking for a specific slot. Why should you suffer because of this?

Go all out and get the Tesla mattress and hop in the back for a snooze. Arrived home rested 😌

Tesla doesn't have V2L (vehicle to load) but many do. There is a third party thing that will trick the Tesla into doing it but I'd be more concerned about my car than my cuppa to risk it.

An alternative is to stick in solar batteries without the panels and a change over switch that lets you connect the house off grid to battery. Top the battery up on an EV rate at night and use it during the day.

I'm a similar power cut area. So I have solar to charge the battery and then run the house fully off grid if needed.

MyJ seems ok to me. You can hold it lightly. The key is to always be ready. If you do that, it always seems to work. Its clever enough to know you're technically holding the wheel, but knows you're not attentive enough to be ready to take control.

Its a bit of a nuisance having to hold the wheel but not actually steer. I'm not 100% sure i like it yet and I might still fall back to adaptive cruise control only.

But there's no way I'd ve letting go of the wheel and sitting back and relaxing. Its probably the software engineers in me, I know what software looks like on the inside and its never pretty!

That's what I was looking for. Seems a bit pricy though. I have solar and batteries but no switch over. I'd imagine it would be cheaper to get a switch over installed and more efficient.

You can get them on Ali for less than €500

I made it, despite a 20 min delay on the train, and a crash on the motorway with a cool 14 mins to spare !!. A

bout 3 of us had arrived at that time to collect, and as I was pulling out there was still people checking theirs over at 5.20. so it's not a hard 5 shut down.

It was only charged to 50% on pick up so I had to do my first super charge in Enfield. Got caught with two tolls :( as I'd to pay again coming from the charger back on the motor way because of it.

Grabbing some food now and then 170km to home. Should arrive home with 10% charge it says despite 340km range on the clock. There is one more super charger closer to Galway if I feel the need to dip in.

I'd watched a few videos. But it was raining so I just checked all the paint and body work. Checked everything opened and closed and that the inside was in decent shape. Some people got down to using torches to look under the car etc but that's a bit much for the long day that's in it.

Home again, the epic 9 hour round trip with the kids was fun.

I plugged in at home and noticed the bottom two DC ports in the charging port don't have a cover on them. The type two is in the top section so that's fine but I'm assuming it's okay to leave it like that in the rain.
