With wet weather on the way, now is the perfect time to check your tyres 🌧️

Your safety on the road depends on good tyre condition, especially when roads get slippery. Worn tyres can make stopping distances longer and increase the risk of losing control.

At Stubbs Auto, we understand how important it is to feel confident behind the wheel. Our team can quickly check your tyre tread depth and condition to help keep you and your family safe.

Don't wait until it's too late. A simple tyre check today could make all the difference tomorrow.

How do you usually prepare your car for wet weather driving?

As the days grow shorter, with darker evenings and misty mornings, the conditions are ripe for those "I didn't see them" moments on the road.

To combat this, ensure all your vehicle lights are functioning correctly. Check your headlights, brake lights, turn indicators, and fog lights to guarantee they're all shining brightly.

A simple light check can significantly improve road safety. Stop by for a quick light inspection – it's a fast, easy process that helps keep everyone safer.

A German Tesla owner has repurposed a used Model 3 battery pack into a 79 kWh home energy storage system charged by 11 kW of rooftop solar panels, giving the battery a productive second life long after it left the car. The setup works exactly as you'd expect - solar charges the battery during the day, the battery powers the home at night, and the electricity bill essentially vanishes. For context, Tesla's Powerwall 3 offers 13.5 kWh of storage per unit, so this single retired Model 3 pack delivers nearly 6x that capacity from a battery that most people would assume is done. This is the part of the EV story that critics consistently ignore - when a combustion engine reaches end of life it becomes worthless scrap, but an EV battery that has degraded past its useful driving range still has more than enough capacity to run a home for potentially another decade.
