We managed 21.1kWh and a new unexpected PB driven by cloud cover and changing voltage. :shock:

I was actually at a Tesla Supercharger in Liechtenstein.

I nearly pressed the buttons but Nowty Towers was exporting 2kW at 13.48 (local time here), so I decided it was pointless joining in this time. :cry:

That is deeply sad Nowty. How's the weather? Our daughter is on Slovenia at the moment. Outstanding pictures being sent back.

Well well, I had to look that up, we are both in Germany. I’m near Munich presently, had a good blast on the Autobahn. I note the TM3 gives you the national speed limit sign when your in the unlimited speed zones. :twisted:

Note - SWMBO took the picture, both my hands were on the wheel as it gets quite hairy over 200 km/h. :?

I had a good play on the derestricted autobahns too - I clocked 240kmh briefly but was quite happy cruising at 160 with all the traffic.

Although the consumption took a bit of a beating.
