    Got to Gordano services and my car wouldn’t charge at Tesla or non Tesla charging points. 3 hour wait we got relayed to Birmingham by Green Flag. Ended up having to leave the car in storage and taxi home. Got back at 6.30 this morning.

    Teslas roadside assistance is rubbish. Good job I had Green Flag via my insurance. Carless until Wed though and then need Tesla to sort it

    All his satellites in space and he can't even get roadside assistance right. Still, whack a giant, ugly tablet on the dash, inside a generic, average shell, and people will buy into the utopian dream because the name is Musk. Shoulda stuck with petrol @Gally :rolleyes:

    Nah! I had 2nd hand Octavia Estate once.. Was in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road and the engine fell out,! The bolts on the mounting block at the opposite end to the gearbox sheared. Managed to nurse it to civilisation and a phone signal and got green flag out. Told 'em it needed a low loader as it was not a roadside fix or tow but they insisted on inspecting it first. After 2 hours the patrolman turned up looked at it and said I needed a flatbed truck !!! ,Waited another three hours in the freezing cold before the truck arrived.
    So even though you are suffering from lack of infrastructure being at the Vanguard of EV incidents can happen even with fully tried and tested technology. Besides I never mock the afflicted,

    Did you try turning it off and on again? This often fixes glitches….

    Anyone see the fields littered with rubbish at the end and how much..? Wow and these are the ones who are supposedly going to save the planet.
    Wonder if Greta Thunberg stayed behind to help pick it all up..
