  • YES, Rustee has done over 100,000 miles. What has it cost me and what needs doing to to the car to make it tip top? Find out on the newest vid
    At the start of 2021 Tim Aylen created Chargeheads to ELECTRIFY petrolheads, essentially to introduce car enthusiasts into electric cars by sharing content on modified EV's and EV conversions. An Electric Petrolhead if you like........A CHARGEHEAD!!!!
    Embark on an electrifying adventure with me as I delve into the realm of EV conversions! My journey took me on a captivating exploration, visiting industry giants to uncover the perfect candidate for transformation. Amidst the array of options, I found myself drawn to the lesser-known gem, the TVR Tasmin 350i, affectionately known as the Wedge (#tvrwedgee). After meticulous evaluation, I decided to infuse this iconic beauty with electric vitality. With a TVR Griffith already igniting my passion for untamed, adrenaline-fueled rides without driver aids, the choice to electrify a TVR was a natural progression.
    My 2nd project was electrifying a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter into a fun short range deathtrap, that is #SpecialTrikee project! Partnering with my friend Vinny, we've injected new life into this classic ride, creating an electrifying experience like no other. Perfect for zipping around town on local jaunts, it's an absolute blast! Even Mrs. Chargehead affectionately dubs it my 'special scooter' - a charming nod to its origins as a humble 50cc two-stroke, now boasting a "dynamic" 250-watt motor
    Introducing our latest endeavor: Rustee #RusteeTesla - the ultimate Tesla Model 3 Long Range upgrade project! Our mission? To elevate its aesthetics, enhance handling, and supercharge performance, all while retaining its unrivaled daily mileage and efficiency. How? By meticulously integrating recycled parts, we're not just making it better, but greener too. Get ready to witness the evolution of eco-conscious luxury, where sustainability meets superior driving experience
    I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
    With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
    Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
    He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.
    So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
    Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well

    Super video Tim! I'm a driving instructor using my 2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range as a tuition car. Plus the good fortune of being based just 5 minute's drive from Cleevely EV. Shout out to Matt Cleevely. And James Coates (James & Kate on TH-cam), Cleevely Mobile Service. Learner drivers' parents frequently ask me "what is the car really like?" After all, their kids must be exaggerating, right? So, I feel obliged to warn them not to sit in the driver's seat and try it out... sure enough, they want one! No advertising needed. This is a product that sells itself.

      Can I just ask, isn’t a Tesla very different to drive than a cheap car that a first time driver would be able to afford ? One pedal driving and all of the automated safety features etc. wouldn’t it benefit a first time driver to learn in an older car with less features so when they end up in a Peugeot 206 or a clapped out fiesta they know how to drive it and aren’t surprised when they start rolling backwards on an incline at a junction ?

    • @B0BHW
      @B0BHW 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@0barrington0 Yes, you're correct. The Tesla is very different to drive than a cheap car with an internal combustion engine and manual transmission. When I commenced teaching learner drivers in the Tesla three years ago, I offered a specific lesson to 'convert' to driving an automatic ICE. Without exception this proved to be unnecessary as they quickly adapt using the brake pedal to control their ICE car 'running on' when they lift off the gas and requirement to use the brake pedal to maintain 'snail's pace' speed and hold the vehicle in position when parking. The main complaint I hear is that their parent's car in which they're practising is noisy, it's 'clunky', takes 'forever' to accelerate, doesn't stop properly without lots of braking and they have to select Park and apply Handbrake when waiting at traffic lights. As for "when they start rolling backwards on an incline at a junction"... automatic petrol and diesel cars don't do this either. Apologies, I'm not trying to be patronising, but to be clear, learner drivers taking lessons in an electric car are applying for an Automatic Full Driving Licence. They won't be driving manual transmission unless they take another driving test to do so. When I first tried an electric car back in 2015, after 45 years of driving manual and automatic transmission ICE cars... I couldn't believe my luck!

    And two front outer front bearings replaced at 39,000 miles. I’m happy happy it was done under warranty, but a little disappointed that a £56k car needs that work done at 40k miles.

    The thing about charging to 80% and range (and then detractors say "see you car cant do more than say 220 miles) is that the 80% "rule" is for general use, every day (or week or whatever) charging.
    If you are going on a long trip theres absolutely no reason not to charge to 100% on the day of the trip especially if that might mean you dont need to stop at all.
    You just shouldnt charge to 100% then leave for days.

    Great Video Tim, I've had my M3P for almost 5 yrs now (one of the first to collect in the UK) and it's been fantastic! By far the best car I've owned and like you I plan to run it for as long as possible. Still feels and drives like new too. Taking advantage of Octopus Go/Intelligent and most charging being at home, over the last 5 yrs it's averaged out at about 2-3p a mile - which is just incredible for a car that does 0-60 in 3s!

      Looks like I collected my 2019 M3LR at the same time as yours. I'm a driving instructor using it as a learner driver tuition car. The car still excites me every day and it goes without saying that learners can't believe their luck - especially those that have repeatedly failed tests before in manual transmission ICEs or been shouted at by their driving instructors for stalling at traffic lights, hill starts, moving off from roadside etc. As for Octopus charging overnight at home for only 7.5p per kWh... extraordinary! 7.5p divided by 4 = 1.9p per mile!!

      @@DaleSteel I charge my 5 year old Tesla to 80% every night and the car tends to read 250 to 255 miles in the rare event I change the battery icon to miles instead of %age. In my case, more than enough range to carry out 3 or 4 two hour driving lessons a day. However, I never tend to bother with mileage range and leave the battery icon on %age. Overnight charging means the 'tank' is always full every morning. What's more, the superchargers on the Tesla Supercharging network are fast, reliable and completely trouble free to use. Buy a Tesla Model 3 or Y, especially the Long Range or Performance models and I doubt you'll ever think about 'range'. Totally awesome vehicles. My only regret is driving ICEs for so many years and worse... teaching learners to drive them!

    My model 3 dual motor almost has 100k miles and main thing I had to replace was control arms, I replaced all of them in front, about $500 DIY. Not bad besides tires for 100k miles, almost looks new inside. I agree model 3 in today market is the best car for the money. My BMW’s were much more expensive to maintain. Batteries on model 3 long range made to last 500k miles, some already have almost 400k on model 3 LR. My model 3 saves me $300 a month in fuel cost compare to my bmw 335i, it’s $6 a gallon here.

I drive an ex taxi E class 65 plate, it's done 226k, in the last 3 years, I've changed the steering wheel clock spring £80 and an exhaust sensor £35, other than that just tyres, part work, 5-6mm £30 each and mot.
    I can see this atittude has changed recently which the cost of second hand cars going up significantly. Lots of people holding onto their cars for longer

      I put 207k on a ford transit connect it was still on the original brakes. It got through a few sets of tyres obviously they lasted almost 50k a time. The fronts and rears wore around the same rate. Maybe its the weight being a van. Just got serviced around 20k didn't need anything else not even a sensor.

    So my take on this is the only thing you save on on a high millage ev as in servicing is cam belts and water pump from ice everything else is the same with bushes, but with a well serviced ice car you wont have the range question, if you fill a 2 year old car and a 7 year well serviced car the tank range will be not far off, but with an ev it would depend on how a previous owner has treated and charged the battery and I know 2 people that have 125k and 140k teslas that have had to have new or recon batteries that's out of warranty and have a bill for over 11k, I think more needs to be said about actual state of battery and and more realistic battery life left when joe blogs buys a used high miller ev because some poor sap will be the one that has to replace the battery and then they become uneconomical.

    Personally I’ll stick with a ice or hybrid. Mainly due to needing decent true 4x4 capability and being in a remote area in the uk, are power network has drop outs especially in winter to the dismay of EV drivers at are nearest charges all but one having to disconnect to individualy charge 😂. And it’s not to uncommon for people to get trapped with there car in winter hear as well. But iraspective EV or ice or other all vehicles need mantanace like bearings springs and more and more often the heavier or abused they get. Same with tyres and brakes. 100k miles isn’t really high mileage maybe if you are use to nearly new / new. Car ice or even EV can last as long as it is well looked after for till the point the owner gives up or doesn’t care for it. I’m a firm believer the best option isn’t for everyone to buy EV,s is to own and run your car for at least 5y + and look after it and maybe learn how to do some basic maintenance tasks as well and build your knowledge of how to look after and budget for some wear items or surprise experience if possible. I’m currently looking for my next long term car and looking at BMW X5 45E witch has a fairly ok hybrid system and BMW age very well and even at high mileage the interior wear is some of the best condition I’ve seen and reliability BMW are know preforming around Toyota scoring. And I like the electric motor runs through the gearbox being up powerd and thru 4x4 system driving equal to ice or EV mode.

      I'm an EV driver, I have a Kia E Niro which is epic. I also own a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which provides the towing I need and 4x4/AWD capability.
      Im lucky enough to have home charging, so I'm firmly in the EV camp, but I agree that the infrastructure isn't ready yet for everyone to switch.
      As soon as the UK is ready, we'll be told that EVs are actually running the planet and we have to switch to the next thing (probably hydrogen)..
      I'm old enough to have been scammed in the great diesel scam of the early 90's: they convinced everyone to buy diesels, offered discounts, lowered the price of diesel compared to petrol, then siffed us big time!
