Only going by what I've been told by mates who have had disasters with Teslas
It's American... I am sure there will be a sticker telling you not to tow, if it is the case...

They can be towed, but it's not recommended in the manual & can affect the warranty.Only going by what I've been told by mates who have had disasters with Teslas
No lights flickering hereHow? National grid did issue an alert since forecast requirement was 46,300 megawatt and predicted output was 46,600 megawatt ie, about 05% less than capacity. A simple trip going at any point would have been enough to trigger a chain as happened only 18 months ago.

No instead of us exporting to France they allowed us to keep our electric.Yes, but that’s only because they issued the warning and allowed the marketplace to react accordingly. Some big user will likely have agreed to a short hiatus, or a temporary generator will have started up.

We were importing last Thursday afternoon, as the historic grid date confirms.

You’re right that at times over winter the UK might export excess power, but that is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Generally, the supply is the other way and France is most often supplying us.
The team that did the 84,000 hour service on my CHP reckons there is a big field near Drax full of diesel gensets that come on at peak. The sooner we can get electric cars and battery storage (domestic and industrial) to do peak lopping the betterFrance can afford to export electricity because once you have paid the capital cost of building their reactor fleet, you might as well run them flat out rather than at reduced capacity because the cost of operating them remains virtually identical in either case. Therefore, they export in some situations and import during others, usually if there is an excess of wind power in Europe or similar.
France also has some reactors capable of running in load following mode and I presume they do this to help match supply to demand though at the expense of their overall capacity factor. Despite this, their reactor fleet runs in excess of 80% availability.
The UK does have some open cycle gas turbines and even some diesel generator plants available to carry shortfalls. Such is the price of relying on wind and solar power to any great extent.

Did you not read the article earlier. UK had built into its demand forecast which generated the notification export to France. Once it was highlighted they could be a shortage they renegotiated with France and flipped it from export to import. It happens all the time and is nothing abnormal.We were importing last Thursday afternoon, as the historic grid date confirms.

If it is an old wives tale then Teslas are the old wives that spread it...Apparently this is the first old wives tail about Teslas. They should have the key in or whatever they use
Basically Tesla don't want to take responsibility if something goes wrong when towing etc as they can't guarantee that the regeneration & charge management system will operate correctly when being towed. There is also the issue that the regeneration electronics aren't rated for continuous operation so may overheat. People have towed charged Tesla cars though....If it is an old wives tale then Teslas are the old wives that spread it...
Whilst you can tow them should you.. if you tow against the instruction on the manufactures you not only risk voiding warranty if something is damaged but if you do get an overheat and it catches fire your insurance company could well shrug their shoulders and say not our problem. Might make a recovery truck the cheaper option?Basically Tesla don't want to take responsibility if something goes wrong when towing etc as they can't guarantee that the regeneration & charge management system will operate correctly when being towed.

In what way was it different. The French contract still exists that we help in their peak and they help in our peak. Just does not work as well at this time of year as solar is so low but normally you would expect wind to plug the gap.The one cited in post 104? It’s historic information, not contemporary. The most recent event was different.
