You are much too young NIrish guy, that pun dates back to 1920 or earlier.

I see Musk is subtracting value, as usual - https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...sla-cybertruck
Absolutely, the man really is a tool of the highest order. Even his own staff concede that BUT also the general view too is that he has to be a bit nuts in order to push the boundaries of things on the way he does too - personally I’m leaning closer to the “dick” view, but I guess one can’t help give him some credit for pushing the envelope in design areas etc way more and way faster than other companies do.
So, just as a final conclusion to this thread Im pleased to report that after another test drive or two I ( finally) placed my order.......for the Tesla "performance" Model 3.
If I'm being honest I think the Jag Ipace, for the money, was probably the better, more classy car and was much more of a quality executive cruiser type car BUT the Tesla was just way more fun to drive and for perhaps the first time in my life I didn't "think too much" about all the twists of turns of each car ( well, not much !) and after putting my foot down on the accelerator in the model 3 ( 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds !! ) and hanging on for dear life whilst happily shouting HOLY FUCKKKKK a few times I just said fuck it and went for it !
Aside from the speed and handling the Tesla IS a great car too actually and has a ton of really innovative bells and whistles built in. ( it even has a "fart" mode built in so you can make your passengers think others have farted lol - ridiculous I know but hey
So, when it arrives next month I'll drive it for a few years and once I decide I'm too old to get any fun out of it I'll change it back for the likes of the Jag maybe then - perhaps!? :-)
electric cars are sooo stoooopid
I remember reading a review of the book Jonathon Livingston Seagull where it was described as “deep thoughts for the Under Fives”Originally Posted by latintopxxx
Do you actually know anything about them or have you actually driven one or is that just a generalisation perhaps ?
Just for general future info for anyone that's interested I found the answer to the above on the Tesla website - basically there is no tax on electricity given / required to power an electric car when the power is supplied by your employer, the full answer is posted below :
Car Fuel Benefit Charge
As electricity is not classed as a road fuel, Tesla cars have no fuel benefit charge. That means employees are exempt from paying benefit-in-kind on electricity provided by their employer to charge an electric company car.
Advisory Fuel Rates
As electricity is not classed as a road fuel, the car fuel benefit charge does not pply to electric charging. If an employee uses a company car, no benefit-in-kind occurs when charging their vehicle at the workplace.
The advisory fuel rate for fully electric vehicles has been confirmed by HMRC as 4 pence per mile.
The URL that lists the above, as well as many of the other ( UK) tax benefits of driving a (new) fully electric car can be found at :

its not the electric cars, its the type of people who drive them...smug twits who believe their shyte doesnt stink....oh and the child labour propping up tyrants that control the mines that make up the huge batteries that are then dumped after 5 minutes of use poisoning the land
Ah right, so just as I thought, just a sweeping generalisation then and I should just ignore your first comment altogether about electric cars being so stoooopid then, right ok, no worries. just whatever you think.
