My mate @ChipChop has set up an independent Tesla repair shop and he said that if I buy an old, cheap, leggy example then he’ll look after it for just the trade cost of the parts, and he’ll throw in the labour for free. as he wants to bust some myths and show people that running an older EV is nothing to be scared of
You are either living in a fantasy world or have had too many NYE drinks already. Either way Happy New Year to one and all.

Here are some EV facts. I’ve just checked the Tesla website to see what the journey would be like if we took at Model S on holiday to the South of France.
We’d stop five times for a total o 2 hours and 30 minutes, with each stop ranging between 25 and 50 minutes, in order to cover the 1,022 mile distance.
We’d easily stop five times and for a total in excess of 2h 30m, and four of the five stops are within a few miles of where we’ve stopped on the same run in an ICE car.
Seems reasonable. Now I wonder whether a car with free supercharger access would get us there for free? If so then the car could pay for itself in a few years.
Ah, so you'd need to use one of the 25,000 EV charging points in Sweden which aren't Tesla's,

Yes I have thanks.Have you seen my screenshots?
Should put your mind at rest about non-working or full charging stations.Yes I have thanks.

I dare say that Tesla drivers will probably have a fairly good working knowledge of which sites have multiple superchargers out of action, and which sites tend to be busiest (and at which times of day).

I would imagine your best source of redress if you feel anxiety regarding the piece i referenced (below) is to take your complaint to the authors - The Washington Post. It was they who noted that Swedens electricians were refusing to maintain Tesla chargers. Apparently apps say all is ok and no maintainance needed. How clever!

Ahh the eloquence!
If a Rag owned by Bezos says all is good, then all is good.
