Front to right to rear. I was heading out of Aylesbury and it came out through traffic lights, from my left and then heading down the road I was on.

Another white Tesla 3.
I wonder if there are a lot of them or if it is the same one I see repeatedly.

Interesting Richard, I noted this bit

"Importantly, the Council hopes that by exposing so many of its personnel to the experience and benefits of driving an electric vehicle, they will themselves consider making the change from a conventional ICE vehicle to an EV."

One of the easiest ways to encourage employees is to provide a "Salary Sacrifice Scheme" which is the cheapest way of employees acquiring an electric car, even if they do zero work related miles in a company car.

Quite easy for any employer to do, and they can tag onto any off the shelf schemes run by third parties, or even join in with the biggest of the lot NHS Fleet services.

The FCF has a thread on it.

Two Green Strip number plates....

Yes one was a white Tesla Model 3, bound to be a different one though and the other...I'll say a Leaf to be on the safe side but it was oncoming and I noticed the green strip first and didn't much notice what the car was :-D

Had a run to Darlington this morning. Never spotted a single one. Lack of observational skills/Dolly Daydream most likely.
