What I like about Tesla and ethical mince pies

A collection of climate stories mostly

I’m waiting for my car, next door to the showroom. That’s a good sign given it’s only 09:30am. The Tesla app has been flagging an expected finish of 1:00pm. It gives them plenty of wiggle room.

The technician’s text, who did a quick meet and greet before whisking the car away is expecting to have it back to me in about an hour.

That means time for breakfast and a phone browse rather than a long camp out wishing the clock along.

My protracted search a couple of weeks ago, came to the conclusion that Tesla Park Royal (London) for winter tyres and wheels was going to be less hassle than finding a third party independent.

I thought I’d struck lucky when I found Mr Winter Tyres, aptly named, but they didn’t want to supply Tesla tyre pressure monitors. An interesting chat revealed that the winter tyres market has all but dried up. No one needs them anymore because UK winters are typically wetter and milder. Punters still in the market, tend to opt for all season or all weather tyres.
