Re: Il neige!
Aye, I saw this somewhere too. I think the latest model 3 is a bit different as it uses a heat pump but probably that is scavenging heat from my battery and making that less efficient?DaveE wrote: Mon Dec 12, 2022 9:56 am @Explosive Newt I saw a tip recently that said that it's more efficient to use heated seats/steering wheel etc than the blowers on an electric car
Obviously on a petrol car, a lot of the heating is from the engine, so is "free", but getting warm using the air heater in an electric car uses much more electricity than the heated seats/wheel
Going to go stay with my folks the next couple of days so very much looking forward to thieving their electricity!

who was the lucky lady?
Re: Il neige!
Got my wife's Yeti (without winter tyres) off the drive eventually using the waffle boards I bought for green-laning but have never actually needed before. DSG clutches smell a bit if you're not careful.

Re: Il neige!
Not too much lying, but what is has turned in to the worst sheet ice I can remember. Obviously the M2 was a wee bit of fun over the weekend, but I'd be amazed if I could get it off the driveway now.
Supposed to be flying to Heathrow tomorrow morning and am wondering how much of a ball ache that's going to be in terms of getting to the airport... delays when at the airport... and getting back etc. Assuming I can get the car off the driveway and down the hill...
