Delivered my car to Tesla Solihull to have the fan module replaced. No point waiting on site because Tesla don't want actually start work the moment you deliver the car but just when they get around to it. Estimated time of completion is always 17:00.

So I looked up cafés on Osmand~ found several within easy walking distance. So now I'm in the Stables having a just about ok mocha and a very good piece of carrot cake.


The background music is slightly more up to date: Human by The Killers, 2008.

Tesla makes nice cars. I don't think I'll ever get used to how ugly the trucks look.

@Lostpoet The Cybertruck is just a Musk vanity project. And the semi has been out-competed by Scania, Volvo, and others who already have thousands of electric semis on the road. I think Tesla has lost their way a bit in recent years. Instead of the hideous and globally unsellable Cybertruck they should have concentrated on a vehicle to serve the market for EVs smaller than the Model 3.

I'm very fond of my Model S. Tesla loaned me a Model 3 while they replaced the battery (under warranty) and I have to say that I didn't like it as much even though because it was so much newer it had much better Autosteer, automatic stop at traffic lights, etc.
