P.S. I only got that email today.
That's because you don't (to the best of my knowledge) wax lyrical about how they are the best at everything

Tesla wanted to clear their Model 3 inventory in advance of the new Model 3 "Highland" coming on stream.

Wouldn't have thought there would be too much to service on an EV

There isn't, so OPCs only charge about a grand...

It's amazing how they now design service costs into a car.

I could change the oil and filter on my old Mini in about 10 minutes and that was stopping for a fag to let the oil drain out a bit more.

Just to get at the drain plug on the Macan, it takes half an hour to remove the undertray and I haven't yet discovered where the filter is. No doubt you have to remove a manifold or two to get to it.

If you think that's tricky, just try finding the sump drain plug on a Taycan!

Isn't next to the air hook just above the long weight ?

There's enough video's circulating of people trying to put fuel in a Tesla, and my mate who lives in California has seen it loads of time when filling up over there. First time he got out and tried to politely explain it was an electric car, but was told he didn't know what he was talking about because of his accent (he's lived there 20 years now, but still has a strong London accent)

And another phone call !

A week apart. Just in case I've changed my mind.
