Nobody has ever called me out for recommending anyone over in the uk... I just think it’s a case of talking from experience of where they buy from and that’s all it is nothing more ...in my time on this forum I’ve never been led to believe anything other than that
In fact I’m sure there is a few threads about specifically for vendors non states based
Maybe there are a few threads on this issue. The problem is even site regulars act as if they don't exist either because they are unaware of their existence, forgot about their existence, or disregard their existence.
I'd love for a thread to be created about expanding that list, especially for non-US buyers but even for US buyers as well.
I just don't feel as if I am qualified to lead that kind of conversation so I won't create the thread myself.
For safety to work, it has to be reasonably accessible. Mercedes Benz usually has the safest mass produced cars but a lot of good that does the driving world if they can't afford a Benz.
The secondary benefit of breaking the hive mind would be great but that takes site participation that safety may or may not. Hell, Mooch could probably single handedly improve the safety aspect if he were interested enough in dealing with the vendor aspect of battery safety but the hive mind breaking takes a community effort.
I thought I seen a Mooch vendor list somewhere of about a dozen or so with one or two in the UK. Not sure about the rest of the world. Could be wrong about that.
