In other news my Tesla gave me a load of worrying battery warning errors on the drive home and is now refusing to charge.
The Tesla app has given me an appointment at the Bristol Tesla service centre tomorrow at 9am.
It's 39 miles away and my car says it has 45 miles of range left so that should be exciting.

And he’s been very insistent about getting seen and the nurse who saw him called the surgery team who did tue op on Friday.

Bloody stupid triage nurse at the front desk said go home and call gp. He didn’t stand for that.
