Once upon a time in Shropshire there were no sheep.
Just Oak meadows with bluebells, wild heathland where skylarks sing.

Friday and with no access to official site I must be on yesterday’s

Line up your moose!

It’s a caribou chronograph…

Ferrari are mostly a crypto trading company these days. Their small business in selling around 10000 mostly highly polluting cars is like advertising corrupt mortals.
Advertising excess and who gives a F about anyone else, Look at me! I’m the best!

F@@@ F@@@@@@ they’re the worst!

Replacing pollution from engine emissions with microplastic tyre dust!

It’s bigger, more comfortable inside and better screwed together than rivals of similar external dimensions.
Improved range and efficiency. The base model looks good.

If you read the article they have two years left of a battery deal with CATL (Chinese) they now want to get out of.
Chinese batteries aside, it’s sensibly sized (not too big) and really looks quite good.

A graphic showing the enormous improvements since the launch of the original Nissan Leaf 14 years ago the new one goes four times further charges three times faster has two times more power and is 36% cheaper than the original

Useful comparison

Whats your obsession with assholes?
I never used that word?
I already reiterated “There are other options from Tesla when you next change vehicle”.
Your argument “There isn’t!”
My argument “Take that attitude and one day there really might not be!”
I have no more to say.

If US government have your attitude it’s hardly surprising

Here’s one I pulled out of my dog 🐕
Worryingly I was in a pheasant shooting area

Don't care about the massive damage done to native ecosystems by the constant release of vast numbers of invasive pheasants for shooting?

Maybe you'll care about catching Lyme disease instead.

Tesla sued Fisker, they weren’t successful but the strain in Fiskers finances put them out of business.
Tesla sued Rivian, they too are in financial trouble.
Actions of US government to which Musk is well connected are making it difficult for GM & Ford to enter EV market. See a pattern?

It’s 20 reasons
To hate America
For Trump to say people who’ve made America their home Hate America
For MAGA to persecute all foreigners because they Hate America
For war,terrorism,innocent victims
For an unstable world of fear & hate
Because Trump needs enemies to steal from & justify his crimes

But Elon says Tesla will develop a cheaper car that will drive itself & have no steering wheel & although it will cost a lot more than 25k it will be able to do robo-taxi work & you can have half the money to reduce your car loan. What’s not to like?

Here’s my four word plan
“Stop killing each other!”

The Russian world continues to bring nothing but misery, pollution and death to Europe. An investigation has revealed that Russian 'shadow fleet' tankers are sailing unimpeded in European waters, leaving oil slicks near the continent's shores.

Japan

Honda e:nY1 now uses Chinese CATL Li-ion batteries.

Mazda 6e will be an entirely Chinese built car with Mazda design touches.

Previous both used Japanese Panasonic batteries

President Xi Jinping 🇨🇳 makes no secret of strategy of fostering foreign dependence on China’s high-end manufacturing, which Beijing sees as a source of strategic leverage in an era of geopolitical turbulence.

Either when the Democrats get reelected or more likely when GOP have a sudden U-turn on policy GM and Ford will hit financial distress.
A lot of Americans will loose their jobs.

I guess Australians know quite a lot about Dolphins and Surf and that ain’t it.

You’re describing a monopoly control you believe Tesla have & dismissing any ethical concerns.
Yet you hold GM & Ford to the highest ethical standards dismissing their EVs on the grounds they also build ICE which they are encouraged to continue with by US govrnmnt upon which Musk has some influence

There isn’t that much difference between EV Powertrains in terms of efficiency the differences come down to weight, aerodynamics, Regen & tyres. ID Buzz is very heavy. Be interested to see mile/kWh for the Kia???

Nope, I see no problem….

No irony lost on you that Toyota, Honda and GM did much of the early pioneering work to make EVs viable.

Asshole, idiot, own worst enemy, turkey voting for Christmas.
There’s good reason to avoid expensive American or Chinese products if you don’t live in these countries and particularly from certain companies and Tesla is one of them.

I don’t think even the OP was calling Tesla owners themselves Nazis, I certainly am not.
For many people inside & outside the USA actions taken by Musk affect their lives in a negative way. There are also concerns around China.
My single point you take issue with “Other EVs are available”

What you seem to be saying is that whilst the rest of the world have a choice of EVs Americans have Hobson’s choice with Tesla and that no one there takes GM or Fords lukewarm efforts seriously or appreciates a Hyundai factory in their country although they’ll still buy a Honda or Toyota from Japan?

73000+ reviews on Trust-pilot can’t be wrong?

You can’t knock the Chinese on the investment put into this model with production in a number of factories across world. Probably most significant Chinese EV yet.

It’s all about presence.

Expand the armed forces,
more people in uniforms,
just standing around.
Standing in stadiums.
Standing in towns and cities.
Standing at political rallies.
Doing very little.
Not learning skills,
Not defending the nation,
Get used to standing, being idle
Just standing about.
