Miles Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 The climate change advocate's perfect car .. The leftie's Ideal car .. yet Elon Musk is endorsing Donald Trump and driving a far right agenda that is hostile to his prize product .. personally if I was going to buy a car now I would look for a good used Matiz or a Trabant. Would you buy a Tesla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Roops Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I drove a KIA Niro EV for a week whilst waiting for a replacement works vehicle. TBF the car was a delight to drive but the range anxiety was off the scale, so no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Since the government pushed back the banning of petrol/diesel cars I wouldn't buy any electric car until there's a battery revolution cos resale values are pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a technical issue, I think Miles was referring to the appeal of his cars to a certain type of consumer and his political views and comments which appear contradictory. Anyway, I'm sure Henry Ford's Model T had range issues too when it first rolled out the factory. However, the electric car seems to be faltering. I can't see how people can be forced into buying stuff that is clearly too expensive and poor value for money plus highly inconvenient like electric cars and heat pumps. I heard on the TV the essential ingredient of car ownership is freedom, if you haven't got that it's pants. I don’t see why the maximum engine size can't be limited to 1.6. The gas guzzlers are obscene and should be buried. By the way, could you delete the top three images on my attachments which leaves just my Avatar image and the Lycra Bum image in place. Many thanks.

Dave Umbongo Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 I would buy a VW Beetle, there's a certain irony about driving a car that you can only get in Brazil which has a bonnet that resembles a bald camel toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scrappage on these cars when all that's wrong is the battery must be enormous. Will any Tesla be a classic car in forty years time?

She whizzes around London like a blue arse fly! It’s a really horrible looking thing, but she was absolutely determined to go all electric. 14k I paid. Someone, somewhere, has lost 63.6% of its showroom value in two years. For me, driving is all about freedom, do you know what I mean?
