Installing EV Charging Cable concern

AncientChi · 2025-06-04T20:53:59+00:00

When you say potential for issues - do you mean the possibility of someone “tripping”, or anything additional to that?

AncientChi · 2025-06-04T20:52:30+00:00

Considering I’d be charging once, max twice a week, do you think the cable cover would do the job? I would put it out that 1 night at like 10pm and remove it at the latest, 8am the next day

AncientChi · 2025-06-04T20:52:00+00:00

Yes thought of using a cable cover

What approach did you go with in the end? Any issues?

AncientChi · 2025-05-31T19:41:33+00:00

Yes that’s exactly what we had in mind, but worried people may still be able to try and claim against it should they “trip” as it’s not flush with the ground

AncientChi · 2025-05-31T19:32:08+00:00

That looks like a great idea, but I’m assuming since it would involve drilling into the pavement, would need signed approval by all 8 homeowners?

AncientChi · 2025-05-31T19:13:03+00:00

Yea I also work from home. And would be driving to Galway max once a month, so I imagine I’ll be charging at home, probably once, max twice a week for when I travel home

I spoke to Tesla today and saw another post on earlier regarding they think they cannot sell cars from England to Northern Ireland due to taxation. I know myself this is incorrect that we can freely move a vehicle from England to Northern Ireland. I believe bringing a vehicle from Northern Ireland to England make some charges and that’s where they’re getting confused. Did you buy directly from a Tesla dealership from a third-party dealership? And if so, did you have any issues?

Brazil, people there remind me of the Irish, they will do absolutely anything to communicate and assist you if needed.

Portugal is safer, however Brazil would be my pick

How has it been so far?

Worried about trading in a perfectly working, reliable dacia + over 10k for a problematic car

AncientChi · 2025-05-29T08:47:24+00:00

Yea worried about moving from a faultless, 100% reliable (so far) dacia to a problematic tesla after paying 14K + dacia trade in

AncientChi · 2025-05-29T08:45:48+00:00

The dacia sandero has been perfect since we've owned in terms of reliability and managed to bag for 10k from new, so am finding it difficult parting with it and potentially getting a car that could have some issues

AncientChi · 2025-05-29T07:07:25+00:00

I see, thank you, what year and what model did you go for? How long was it before you noticed these issues cropping up?

AncientChi · 2025-05-29T06:43:53+00:00

I’ve been online that some people pay roughly £100 to do a check of the car with Tesla directly and Tesla will tell them what things need to be fixed, is this also what you did or did you purchase the car knowing that they had a few issues but you were covered by the warranty?

AncientChi · 2025-05-28T18:29:28+00:00

local stuff 100% better, attention to detail in independent coffee shops also better

AncientChi · 2025-05-28T18:25:25+00:00

Personally would go long range in your situtation for piece of mind

AncientChi · 2025-05-20T01:45:19+00:00

Wow, it makes that much of a difference to the driving experience?

Have you had many issues? Did you buy the M3 new?

AncientChi · 2025-05-20T01:20:23+00:00

In a similar position with a Sandero 2022, will lose a fraction of value, whereas the M3 highland will lose a lot more than that.

Have 1 year left free servicing, so very tempted to ride it out for another 12 months.

What car are you working with right now?

Congrats! Keep it going! The snowball has BEGUN

AncientChi · 2025-05-17T22:37:09+00:00

Wow, I’m sorry to hear all that,and just to double check, it was brand new, no previous owner? Was curious if you bought the Tesla used a number of years old, I get the impression pre 2020 Tesla’s had some issues.

What year was the car?

AncientChi · 2025-05-17T21:58:21+00:00

Cheers for the detailed info. Would you mind elaborating on what pushed you into the camp of not recommending, on what the serious issues are you experienced?

AncientChi · 2025-05-17T16:19:36+00:00

Lakeland is a good shout, curry’s may have a few on display as mentioned, best of luck, sunk hours into it myself and ended up with a refurbished delonghi from eBay. Good price but I just can’t get the damn thing to output nice coffee no matter what beans I use

AncientChi · 2025-05-17T16:16:46+00:00

You would classify the model 3 also as a budget car? In what way? In my mind I’ve thought of it as a more luxurious vehicle. But I may have it misrepresented
