I have just got back from driving a Tesla S "Ludicrous"
In all of my 70 plus years I have never driven anything that is so fast 0 -60 comes up in about 2.9 seconds and the mid range acceleration is enough to snap your head off. On top of that you can switch to driverless mode, let go of the steering wheel and just sit there..amazing... 
Has anyone else tried one ? Might just part exchange Small, the Series One, the Defender and everything else...... or maybe not  1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue

They reported last week how bad Tesla profits were. Is this purely down to sales? James

Yes the Tesla S is ludicrous. How would you describe the Tesla Roadster, 0 to 60 in 1.9 secs and 250mph top end? Think I'd rather have a prancing horse for £200,000 though. Defender 90XS SW

I think to some extent all the money is being re-invested, I think they have the largest battery plant / development programme in the world. 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue

Ssssh S & S!
Have you not heard we have replacement parts for the drive train and the human engine. The only issue we have is in replacing the human ECU! They say hope springs eternally!

Closest thing I got too something as fast as that, was a 6R4 metro. By Christ everything went a blur! and no I wasn't man enough to drive it! I was just passenger, and I can still hear that growl now of that V6! Even though its 3 years on! All I can say is I want one 6R4 that is Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Tried it, the only good thing about the Tesla is that mode. Otherwize it's bland, not exciting to drive and poorly made. Certainly not worth the pricet ag...

I sat in one at the London motor show last Thursday. It looks nice but I feel its going to become dated and old fashioned rather quickly. Then I saw someone had electrified a morris minor. Motor bolted onto the exisiting clutch/gearbox. what a fabulous idea I loved it! 1953 80"

Had a P100D for 96Hr test drive last year ..........
But sadly there's not one in the garage yet. Well I say garage, being a terrace in London there ain't no garage, nor drive and also no charging point, unless I run a cable out the window and over the pavement. TY&GN
10 years in a WOLF, WIMIK and Snatch and this is all I have to show! |
