Today I was mostly driving...a Tesla Model S

[jameslb101]

It's the future.

[Carbon Based]

But did you like it?

We drove one a little while back and were very impressed.

[jont]

Would be interested to drive one back to back against an i8 (I know they aren't directly comparable, but the technology ideas are heading the same way). Mind you, both seem like to much of a convenient tax fiddle for the well off.

But it won't get us from Abingdon to York ...

Say's who?

Say's who?

On paper, yes it will. But the range quoted is probably optimum driving conditions, no traffic, steady speed, no AC no heater, no radio, daytime drive only

They really should set a test up for EVs which tell us what their REAL range is, meaning when they do the test, they should have the radio running, AC running, fans at full blast, speed constantly varying.

THAT would be a better test.

Agreed, but what can they test? This, an i3 and a Nissan Leaf? I don't thing the electric Fiat 500 or Mini are available in this country.

Renault are apparently dropping out of the electrics market and everything else has a combustion engine too.

What about that Mitsubishi thing?
Is the Fisker even for sale in this country?

Fisker? The name is so close to a certain sexual practice that I chuckle every time I hear it.
Whoever came up with it must have nerves of steel; or little imagination.

Far more difficult when you're deaf, and have to rely on lipreading.

First time someone said it, I was wondering who would name a car that, and realised what they were talking about.

Must be a gap in my education. Can't think what....... OH!!

And you so young.....

People from the U.S. have little idea of irony when it comes to names.

Oh yes.

Chaps called "Randy" always get me into the giggles.

I wouldn't think I'm considered young, mentally. I think I've got the brain of a 46 year old in the body of a 16 year old
