The FF91 was introduced via a live demo, in which it drove itself around a car park and backed into an empty space.
If it had first created the space I'd be impressed. Reversing into it is the easy bit.

Ah, the crashy one. No, that's not really my thing. However, of course, it's the sexy fast cars that are going to get the market going. I would guess that many Tesla drivers aren't all interested in the green bit, only in the whoosh bit. It takes some serious man-maths to play the "it's so cheap" card with a Tesla.
But once you've gone EV, you tend to stay there, so that's all to the good, probably.

People who can afford a Tesla are not in the least bit interested in the economics or green-ness. If the world plebs could afford a tesla, the rich and famous would dump them in a shot. Exclusiveness is a premium. |

Be interesting to see what happens when the Model 3 rocks up then, allegedly either later this year or early next, and also allegedly at sub 30k GBP. Both "allegedlys" are from Tesla themselves, so take them as you will.

And despite the outraged squeaking from George Michael country Tesla have not got this cracked |

Is that 30k the 'pre-referendum' price? Are they going to set up a factory in Chipping Sodbury to benefit from our new cheap labour rates?

If they do on the 3 as they have with the S (who knows if they will?) then the buy back guarantee offers 50% of the purchase price back to you at month 37.
So 15k more or less for three years of Tesla. 5k a year. Still a lot but perhaps half a mortgage for lots of people?

400 notes a month? Not till the kids are finished private school. Although I do spend nearly 200 a month on diseasel. And I will be thinking about a new car in the next two years. And man maths. And that. So yeah, sign me up.  |

What sort of car are you leaning towards?

No MOT. No tax. No servicing. Right this moment, no cost for the superchargers, so if there's one near you, no electricity costs either.
Helping much, A?

Or this I suppose, which is probably the far far better buy on just about every measure:

Weird to note that a KIA and an E are price comparable now. Sure, one's a year or so newer. But still. I'd find it hard to justify the KIA over the E. Frankly, I'd rather the KIA's badge in my own perverse way, but I know it'll depreciate loads more than the E.
Bit alarmed at the lack of cylinders in both, mind.
