Just doesn't work if everyone started to run charging cables across the pavement. That rules out a great deal more people than the range arguments to be honest.

I don't care about people that live in terraced houses

Elitist - not everyone can be a captain of (IT) industry, with their own detatched property & grounds like yourself.

Rev lives in the terrible North though

It's awful here, you'd hate it. Please stay down south.

First he's for dissembling the welfare state and now the anti-immigration stance - you've changed, man

What utter shite. Leave that crap to Mark please, Marv.

Yeah, bit of a crap analogy. I still think it's a bit stupid poking holes and moaning about the downsides of a technology when it's in its infancy. Mobile phones were a bit shit in the 80s, weren't they?

It's a big, big shame that cars are going to lose almost all of their character through the soul-less electric motor, but progress isn't always without sacrifice.

Perhaps a good time to remind you and everyone that all I said was they were boring and gay - I couldn't give a monkey's about the technology, in the same way I don't know what sort of rechargeable batteries my toothbrush has

Get her with the fancy electric toothbrush.

I often just look in the mirror while I'm using it, congratulating myself on my breathtaking level of life success

Bollocks. You stick it up your arse whilst cracking one off.

I did say congratulating, Dave - read it again

This doesn't look good.

This happens every time Tesla release a new model.

I thought the build quality of the Model S I drove was fine.

It appears from everything I've seen and read about the Model 3 that they're shockingly sh*t.

when I had a decent poke a model S at goodwood
It was the crappy finished plastics, inconsistent shut lines and exposed painted metal/welds when you opened the bootlid and stuff that really set it apart from it’s peers. It looked great from 10ft away though.

UBS seem to have just bought Munro's report of one of the earliest cars - lots of the language and comments are lifted almost word for word. You think a bunch of financial analysts are sat in a unit somewhere with a socket set pulling a car to bits?

FWIW, Munro released a revised report last month deeming the later cars much better and solidly profitable.

I’ve driven a Model S and passengered in a Model X. They just feel unfinished. The X in particular just felt like some seats bolted inside a box. I liked the way they drove, though. Clearly, when the mainstream manufacturers have finished developing their efforts, Tesla will be left a long way behind. It’s easier to figure out how to stick and electric motors into a 5 series than it’s is to figure out how to build a 5 series.

Elon is on about the guy he called a Pedo on the Twitters again. He seems pretty confident about it too. I want it to go legal just so we can see who is right.

The guy's got a screw loose. Too much time in the paint shop me thinks!

Maybe he should invest some time in stopping Model 3 bumpers falling off in the rain?

Tesla is going to go up in flames quicker than a battery fire at this rate...

Must be. Instead of complimenting someone for being part of an amazing rescue, he makes up a load of bollocks and he's obviously sour that he didn't come out the hero of the rescue, when the PR stunt he planned didn't work.

To be fair, I think his help in the rescue attempt was genuine and not just a PR stunt. I read all the dialog in tweets between him and some of the rescue effort about what would be needed in the way of a 'pod'.

But he called the guy a "pedo" because he's an expat living in Thailand? Crazy.
