  Not been on for a while, since my lorry rant, but on a less ranty and more car-based question: what do the Backroomers think of Tesla, if anything? I believe the Roadster is now on sale in the UK, and the Model S is coming I think in 2012. Just been having a look at the Model S on the website

  A Sealey code scanner does not light up its backlit display when plugged into the C5. On other cars it does light up. It seems like not picking up the C5's battery voltage. Does anyone know if this mean that there is a fault on the C5's OBD connector? Thanks.
