Visited one of those sites today in my..ahem.. Peugeot e208. Until the Tesla app lists the actual model it is, it will continue to be a pug! Battery size and 100kW charge speed are a good match anyway🤣
Does anyone know what aircraft this is?

Such a cool plane to see

While unpacking a youtube video from a new owner, and testing a new Renault 5 myself, I’ve made an interesting discovery. If you are a new owner it’s a great car but it has a foible worth being aware of
@renault_uk do get in touch if you want further info!

In the light of the vote on 2nd June we re revisiting @SiOldridge s informative thread from a while back.

Dr Tanya Haj Hassan who has spent time as a doctor in #Gaza calls out Israel’s deliberate and murderous rain of terror against civilians.

So great to see zero carbon alternatives for transporting cargo around big cities??
