Then I had to stop and charge up the battery before going any further...

FTFY and I believe each one comes with a support vehicle....

Brand new, £52K, 4WD, Slick DSG box, 0-62 in 3.7 seconds and goes round corners, sounds fantastic with a 5 cylinder turbo engine.

Ladies car...

Well they've got close with the front end but that arse? Still looks crap.

Tesla is hugely heavy and can't go round corners and as you say build quality is rather poor.

Makes sense for a family man living near Central London Congestion zone maybe?

For that money you can get 911 TTS, few year old but it will be much nicer car to drive - 0-60 isn't everything, handling is - also Tesla looks very dull.

Build quality is ropey, and you won't get a 2.9 second model for 80k.

Tesla Model S

Been thinking about this, can't remember if I posted but I did do a test drive of a P100D in Copenhagen, lovely car, fast beyond belief, near the docks there's a bit of road where you can get away with opening it up, 0-100 in 2.9 secs with no jerky gear changes completely leaving your tummy in the boot, wonderful feeling and in complete silence.

But, no growl, grunt or edge at all. I loved it but it was a bit plasticky. And the car for £80k doesn't really exude total quality.

Not sure what I think. Maybe all punch and no passion.

But now when I hear an IC engine starting up it sounds so agricultural.

Sod it...
