Yep, it’s not good and has not lasted. Can not recommend it at all unfortunately.

Unfortunately they seem to take people’s money and vanish. Very poor quality components on the kits I’ve had that are just not fit for purpose and fail rapidly :(

It’s still in the garage as I’m not happy with the mounting system. It’s not safe at all. Especially around cars, dogs and children. I think I have a solution but I need to swap out the broken atlas 4 still. At least I know my tower is safe up to 80mph winds.

I am discovering this. 10m is not high enough imo.

Happy to try to help. Can you drop me an email to thesustainableorange@gmail.com with photo and what you need to know?

Have done.@@sustainableorange

Yep, I’ve built my own tower and it’s stood up to all the storms flawlessly. The tesup atlas 4 is still dead and the magnum is still not mounted unfortunately. I’ll be rectifying that soon.

Honestly I would avoid. Istabreeze have an excellent kit that I wish I had purchased instead. I’ve had no power out of my turbines so far. Getting hold of them is a nightmare. Customer service is virtually non-existent & the products I have are very poorly designed and made of very cheap components.

I have been struggling to get a safe and secure mount for the magnum 5. I’m hoping to have it up and running soon to test it over the winter and collect data, but the build quality has been very poor compared to other brands I’ve been looking at.

after watching your vido i can see what you mean you where looking to use a scaffold tube but it was to small what about using a scaffold bar as a splint and use scaffold clamps to hold the two together that way you will still be useing there parts and not inpacting on the warranty @@sustainableorange

@robertgoy9367 that’s the biggest issue, they mount they ship with the Magnum 5 that I was going to use is absolutely NOT safe or fit for purpose. I think I’m going to use an aluminium scaffold pole (which I have) and some steel cables to the 3 points or the tower to try to triangulate it as best I can. Fixing the pole to the tower shouldn’t be too bad either, but it’s a long job to switch out the atlas 4.0, I haven’t had time yet.

Thanks Toby!

Thank you! Next one will be comparing the real and sim cars side by side…

I just did another trip to Venice this summer, and we also went home via cologne. Another fantastic road trip, all you need is A Better Route Planner app and the Tesla in car navigation and it makes everything super easy. Use ABRP to set the level of charge you want at your destination then navigate in the car to the last supercharger stop ABRP recommends and that’s it. Super simple and reliable. I would highly recommend the Telepass from Ulys too, makes toll roads a breeze and you can pay for car parking in Italy or France with it too. Such a huge quality of life improvement than trying to take toll tickets from the wrong side of the car if you are in a RHD vehicle.

Thank you so much. I’m no professional, just a lover of motorsports! This just happens to be quite techy and sustainable too which is right up my street! :)

I did 3 sighting laps in Sam’s model 3, then I had 5 laps in the first session (actually came in a lap early! Doh) and 5 laps in the 2nd as I had to leave to get to eurotunnel! Lol! The car is pure electric, 28ish kWh battery and about 170bhp/190kw weighing about 670kgs. It races for about 20 minutes typically.

Thank you. We are doing another one this year from UK to Switzerland, to lake Garda, to Venice, to cologne (for GamesCom 2023) and then home to the uk again. Should be a little shorter though. Although I have starlink to take with us this year which will be fun!

@@sustainableorange they won’t in the UK due to the daft rules about new chargers must use contactless

That’s what the v4 superchargers are for. They are rolling out now to almost all new locations and being retro fitted in some older locations too. I saw the new v4 chargers at goodwood festival of speed this year with the contactless payments and screen in the side. I believe there are 2 open v4 sites in the Uk now, with many more v3’s open to the public non-Tesla vehicles.

@@sustainableorange absolutely I have a Kia ev6 (required for towing my big caravan) and this would make journeys much easier

Let’s home Tesla roll out some V4 “pull through” stalls like they have in the USA for people towing. :)

@@sustainableorange no chance in the UK for a long time, but a simple area to unhitch is welcomed

I made it myself using a custom sized 8mm plate of aluminium & 9mm marine ply for the base plate under the turbine & F33 stage truss for the tower. F33 stage truss is available, look for brand “global truss f33”. I minimised the number of joints using 2.5m sections and a 1m base section with hinge joints. The base is the heavy duty 800mm square f33 steel base plate. I think all in the tower cost about ~£2900 excluding the concrete, but with fixings, steel cables and other fixings.

@@sustainableorange if I buy the tessup turbine, do I need to get the inverter and the charge controller? I am also isn't sling solar system inverter and battery, people from solar said they can hook it up if I have all the parts and it's compatible. Does it work to be hooked up to the inverter I get hybrid from. The solar company? Also can it be hooked up to the battery? Basically make the whole system work as one? If so what I need to buy? The inverter that comes with it? And the charge controller? Thank you!

The biggest issue with the hybrid is the atlas output is only 120vac, the magnum is 220vac so the magnum will start generating sooner and more consistently. It also has a bigger swept area. The build quality has not been good on my magnum, atlas 4 or charge controller unfortunately. I’ve had issues with them all.

@@sustainableorange so i was thinking one separate 5kw inverter for my panels and 10kw batteries, and was thinking buying the turbine with it's own inverter and hooking it up to the battery, question is, do I need to buy the charge controller? If so where I can buy it. So the solar will have it's own inverter and the turbine it's own inverter, can I hook both to the batteries?. Wind in my area is okay.

@@sustainableorange I'm not sure what to do, I am new to this, I want to get a small pv system 12 panels 5kwh inverter hybrid from sunsynk ecco one and about 10kw batteries, while also getting the tessup turbine, people from solar company installers they have no idea about the turbine, I just want to make the turbine work with the solar system that I will mount. Sorry for so many questions. So let me get this straight, I need to buy the turbine the charge controller and the inverter from tessup. Will that be sufficient to make it work with the solar system I'm planning? Obviously will be hooked to the grid. So I can have my power needs covered and possibly with the turbine actually earning something that will potentially cover my gas bills.
