    Train line have had the same issue It wasn't me! Copper is a interesting commodity I watch with interest.


    A few sites have BYO cable. I have one in my MG used only 2 times to date. Did a freebie DC charge at a uni not to far from me while I went for a hour run today. Three Tesla's lined up waiting for me. I use the DC only to help my battery cell balancing. Tight arsed cheap BMS in my case as the other one here burps and farts all night and seems to do it itself.

    A Dr I know well has a Toyota Camry Hybrid while his Germany car is repaired from a Rear ender- Ouch. He commented about it being very quiet and quick off the line. Suspect his next when required may be better than mine

    I did use a few liters of Disco today, 3 tonnes of recycled cardboard is beyond the MG

    When I was a signaller in the NSW railways (in a signal box) I had at least one occasion when the signalling system faulted because someone cut and stole the heavy copper rail bonding. When the signal electricians replaced them, they used aluminium, not copper.
