The Electric Car Thread

but why has there NOT been a decent estate EV?

5 series launched this year. VW ID.7 available as an estate (bit of a barge though)

Audi A6 and A4 launching next year. The A6 looks sublime.

A4 will be on my shopping list when we go EV.

I’m pretty sure ALL cars have headlight alignment adjusters.

You can try that…. Or they might simply be a bit crap!

I think they are 2 or 3 degrees too low

I’ve had this on several cars (including new) and apparently it is widespread even on new cars. It’s utterly insane that no-one cares. Even garages shrugged their shoulders. You need to find the adjusters for your car (the internet can help) and then the little headlight sticker on the front of the engine bay with a percentage next to it. That’s the specified gradient of the lights. So you drive up to a wall, mark the cutoff line and the inflection point, then reverse back say 5m and calculate how much lower the line should be and adjust to suit. The inflection point is meant to stay dead ahead of the headlight.

Ok so it wasn’t new, but the Leaf’s headlights were so badly aligned that I had to stop at midnight on the way back from picking it up, buy some allen keys at a petrol station and adjust them. They were still shit though.

Thanks @julians, will take a look.
