@Argos_Online I guess the answer to my original post is "No it is not possible to contact Argos support without dealing with a useless chatbot". I will just return the item and buy it elsewhere instead of trying to do an exchange

@BadgerInBlack Hi Will, thanks or getting in touch. To help us look into this further, could you please send us a direct message (DM) in your inbox with more details? This will allow us to assist you more personally and efficiently. - Arbaz twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Argos_Online do you actually have a way of helping customers that isn't just a useless chat bot that can't understand anything?

@Argos_Online I have sent you private messages, you even referenced them above by mentioning the item condition, what more do you need?

@Argos_Online I have already done 🤔

@BadgerInBlack I’m really sorry the item wasn’t in the condition you expected. To help resolve this promptly, could you please send us a private direct message? We’ll be happy to assist you further and ensure your concerns are addressed. -Sneha twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Argos_Online I have sent a DM

@BadgerInBlack Hi, Will Welcome to Argos, you’re speaking with Sneha I’m really sorry you feel that way. I completely understand that you want your issue resolved quickly. Before we proceed further, I request you to kindly send us a direct message. -Sneha

@stuartg917 @AutoPap This is not an either or situation 😂😂😂😂

@BadgerInBlack @AutoPap If I had a car I’m having to discount by £8k to try and shift and one that is in high demand and requires no discounting I know which one I would prioritise for any grants.

Does anyone know about the new EV subsidy scheme? When does it start…? Makes the R5 even more appealing.

@stuartg917 @AutoPap R5 will be on the scheme, no reason not to add it, level of support cannot be confirmed, either £3,750 or £1,500 - depends on grading the model is given after the OEM submits

@AutoPap Cars up to £37k, grant amount dependent on OEM green credentials re manufacturing (most OEMs don’t know what theirs are) and the OEM claims it not you so they can decide which models get it (unlikely R5, more likely a Megane)

@EvEvangelist @Tesla You ever consider you do more harm than good for the wide scale adoption of EVs

@BadgerInBlack @Tesla have you ever heard about the Tall Poppy. All Its neighbours try to kill it because it’s stealing their sunshine .

Will @Tesla adjust UK Pricing to £37,000 to qualify new owners for the £3,750 EV Grant ? Did the UK Gov set the limit at £37k to purposefully exclude Tesla ?

@EvEvangelist @Tesla Tesla less than 10% of the 2025 UK Bev sales, not exactly a murder. The grant is for the cheaper EVs while also focusing on the environmental impacts of the car production and rewarding the cleanest. It is not targeted at any single OEM. Why is everything a them v us scenario 4 u

@BadgerInBlack @Tesla Because none of the Legacy auto are committing murder of the competition . The Newbie is the Enemy . Without Tesla non of them would have been forced into designing building and selling Battery cars at a loss .

@EvEvangelist @Tesla The Q4, i4 & EQA all above £37k but I do not see any of their fans claiming it is a conspiracy against their manufacturer.

@BadgerInBlack @Tesla True - about the World : but not true about BEV penetration on the UK

@matwatsoncars Where was your destination as you now had enough range to get to Southampton or Inverness so I think it is fair to say you now have enough range in the battery to get your destination.

Electric car LIES exposed? 💦💩☕️

@InstaVoltUK I think your No. 3 charger at @BoothsCountry Ulverston needs a new CCS cable. Won’t sit tight in the socket so you need to support the cable during the initial communication, ok once charging starts though.

@LemonTea_Leaf Is that the new one at Lancaster?

@BadgerInBlack guess which IONITY I’m at 😄? 216 kW

@EpicWinningMaz I assume you are looking at a wet UFH? What is the floor in the kitchen, I find it works better with tile/slate than wood

Thoughts on installing under floor heating while we’re doing a kitchen refurb. Is it feasible and cost effective? We have a radiator that we’d like to replace with UFH to use with our heat pump

@Charlie40074981 @newt7215 @Bobbadbig @diallingtone @colinwalker79 @Cleevely_Mobile @KateFantom "the most basic requirement of a car: travelling long distances with minimum hassle." - this comment is just rubbish, the basic requirement is to get from A to B and the average trip length in the UK is 8.1 miles 😂

@newt7215 @Bobbadbig @diallingtone @colinwalker79 @Cleevely_Mobile @KateFantom Except no one doing 30k miles in a year is going to be scared of doing 200-300 miles in one hop 🤣🤣🤣 Love the EV propaganda to try to overcome the fact they fail to fulfil the most basic requirement of a car: travelling long distances with minimum hassle.

"Auto Trader forecasts ‘seismic shift’ to electric vehicles in Britain" "The number of petrol cars on British roads has peaked this year but is set to tumble by more than 40% over the next decade" theguardian.com/business/2024/…

@Spikebmth @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc Sorry my point was more that it has a value for a driver to sell the "empty" zoe to a dismantler. Generally would more than cover the cost of returning the battery.

@BadgerInBlack @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc I was of course looking as a driver, rather than a trader needing a margin in reselling a brought out Zoe, or a dismantler selling the parts.

Would you buy a battery lease used Zoe? (pre 2019) Assuming you were in the market for an eV at a lower price point. <£5000

@modernheroestv @ecocars1 @newt7215 @juliandc Not exactly true, depends on if 22 or 40 as the lease was different. On the 22 it drops, on the lease documents for the 40 it does not (would recommend to check a lease). Again any fault in the pack is covered - never replaced one due to degradation, done plenty for faults

@BadgerInBlack @ecocars1 @newt7215 @juliandc Don’t forget to mention that it drops to 60% at 10 years, wouldn’t want you to not be explaining the product properly now.

@Spikebmth @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc try buying second hand headlights, chargers, AC compressors and you will realise that a zoe without a battery is far from worthless.

@BadgerInBlack @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc I can see both sides of this having paid the extra £6k to own the whole of my ZE40. As pointed out the battery is leased, not hire purchase. Was done to give buyer confidence, when longevity of batteries was unknown. Of course a zoe is worthless without a battery.

@ecocars1 @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc Firstly the warranty limit is 75%, I agree that the SoH is holding well, but it does drop so as the car gets older it makes sense. Plus it covers all faults in the pack! This is the main point, it does not jut protect you from degradation.

@BadgerInBlack @newt7215 @modernheroestv @juliandc I cant remember seeing ANY zoe under 70% SOH ! so is it worth paying to lease the battery , as the batteries are so good 👍
