Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Ludicrous today, in that one (I didnt know it had it, i never do!)
its quite ludicrous to be fair..
even without. they shift like my VFR**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff], just without any work on my part
the way I describe them, the size, peace and toys of the X7, the handling of the MG (insert many modern good cars here as well), and the acceleration of the bike
The X is not for me, a good tow car, a good people carrier, but the S is, well, lower and carries itself better somehow

I believe they cost well north of 80 grand John... A ludicrous amount to pay for a car... Any car...
Your accommodation looks nice though...

A workmate and his girlfriend - more his girlfriend - were recently looking at electric cars and Tesla among them - they saw a second hand one - model S I believe - £125,000.
Passed by very quickly.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
ouch ! I did look on ebay and some were 50k last month I think
agree they are pricey!
the new one will be cheaper when it's finally here..maybe 35? still a lot more than the 3.5 I could afford 
agree they are pricey!

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

well a different perspective today.. I worked for the first time for Nissan, and drove the leaf! I left oxford airport with 96% charge and a warning I may not make Gatwick.
I sat behind a few trucks at 55 to 60, and kept the heating off, and still had 30% left when I got back

Spotted this phrase from Prime Ministers Question time today
"We are leading the world in the development of electric cars"
Nice to know!

How they deceive themselves.
We are not fooled though.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Deliberate deception. If they repeat it often enough, they hope it will become true. Repeat it a bit more, and they start to believe it themselves.
Perhaps a case of intentionally misleading Parliament? Some hope...
Par for the course, these days.

Probably a top of the line P100D that can do 0-60 in 2.4 seconds...

New prices of the S vary from about £60k to £130k depending on spec. Mind you even a "poverty" spec one can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds - fast enough for me.
