My sons car is on the market via a specialist broker. I can guarantee its only for sale as his wife now wants a new kitchen extension, so his pride and joy has to go!

Who makes them?

Tesla the clues in the for sale ad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Oh, I didn’t look at the ad.

Just had a look now.

They are made in Bournemouth then? And here’s me thinking the British Car Industry was dead.

Electric though...............not sure about that

Better get used to that idea of Electric as that will be your choice in a decade or so. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Ha ha
In a decade or so I will be pushing up the solar powered daisy's
Until then, my Metropolis will do nicely.

seem to recall electric vehicles being out years ago...........trolley buses.....nobody wanted them.

I am far too young to remember them  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Joking apart,
They look amazing.
0-60 in 2.5 secs

You would have thought this technology could have been introduced before now.

What have we suddenly invented/discovered/developed?

Interesting, last year my son sold his Porsche 911 Carrera S 12 reg with the same mileage for about the same money. Purists will argue that although the 0-60 times are similar, the handling and acceleration at the top end is superior in the Porsche. However it shows how things will develop as the battery technology improves. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Just thinking, in 1967, my 1150cc Coventry Climax engined Turner, could do 0-60 in 4.5 secs!

It cost me £475.
Reg no. 777 EWT

Sods law.

With the Tesla for sale and my son with no car in Leeds, daughter in law (near Harrogate) needed to go to A&E this morning with a ankle injury (she did not want too but I made her) so it was Freelander to the rescue.

Turns out a bone has chipped off a lump so my diagnosis of something more than a mild sprain was correct.

Me and the 2 year old grandchild in his buggy had a great time cruising around Harrogate Hospital to places we should not have been in

I'd be getting rid of the wife.  MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Went to relatives in Switzerland at start of the year and their neighbour has a Tesla. He took us for 'quick' run around his local roads - acceleration on the main road was mind-blowing, driving around the mountain bends with no hands on the wheel however was a little disconcerting
And then we get home he parks it remotely in his garage using his mobile
