*spurts coffee all over laptop*

OK so this car, with v7 autopilot software, basically drives itself?! Like them Google test cars with their myriad of sensors on the roof, but this one.. is available to buy now?! What's going on ?

But it still has the nice touch of an Easter egg...

Hold in the T, enter the password 007 and then see what happens next. (Scroll down to 20,000 leagues depth if you want)

Tesla's 2015 Model S Is Fast, Efficient And Sadly Unreliable

I'm not really a fan of modern sporty cars, least of all electric ones. However after watching the feature on the Tesla S on "Building Cars Live" last night I couldn't fail to be impressed, ranges of 300+ miles, charging time of one hour, 0-60 in 3-point-odd seconds etc. and regular software updates to add things like automatic parking..

However it appears the Model S at least is having some teething problems, as reported by existing owners of the vehicles. The share price has suffered accordingly.

I'll be watching closely as if they can iron out these problems, I'd be tempted to get one in a few years, not to look like a Guardian reading environmentally aware driver getting a "Green Car" but more of a novelty, a toy. A bit like the early adopters of the Raspberry Pi. According to the website pre-owned ones start at about £50k + which isn't horrendous I don't think. Unless you don't lease the battery?
