You MUST always include the term “aesthetic” in terms of design influence.
And “design language”.

My Tesla came back today. Lump in the finish on the repair. Gone back for the third time. Furious doesn’t do it justice.

It is essentially the new Renault 5 with a few changes to the look. Do like the new 5 too.

Much as I’d like a 5.0 ‘stang Ford can fuck off. I’ve had a few in the past and they’ve all been a bit shit one XR2 needed a screwdriver down the Venturi to start it in the morning. Said start being accompanied by much cranking and a huge gout of flame out of the carb thanks to over fuelling. Eventually traced to a bit of air filter in the carbs guts. Oem ftmfw NOT.
The kuga, puma and capri are all shite. The wife’s lumpen high and dry Tucson PHEV 1.6 does 0-60 in a mildly spritely 8.0 seconds. The equivalent Kuga with a 2.5 engine takes over 9 wtf?
No. Fuck Ford, fuck shitroen, fuck Pughoe. I’ve not owned a poxhaull but fuck them too for their holey headrests in the 80’s.
Fuck em all.
None of this refers to EVs. Well done for complete irrelevance.
Both you and the post.

It comes after Musk raised the prospect of building a “mega-rave cave” under the factory “with an epic sound system and bass speakers as big as a car” on Twitter in 2020. The poll on his post showed more than 90 per cent of 770,000 voters liked the idea at the time.

Test drove the new M3P today. Pretty good step up from the old car.

Given the nature of this place you’re lucky it contained car content. Never mind EV.
Still, any day I annoy a pedant is a good day.
That picture… no the other one… is it quite parallel to the floor? I’m not sure it is.
Got my Tesla back today.
Only been two months (well before Lopwell) and over a thousand miles on the courtesy car!
It feels good to be back in it ! Gears and petrol don’t agree with me anymore.

A mate of mine bought a new Mach E 12 months ago, so far it’s spent 4 months in the workshop 
No problems with the car.
Just a repair as I damaged the door. Then the repairers damaged another door…
Well that’s a new one on me
Purred past me a few minutes ago. I didn’t think that such a thing existed and assumed that it must be a conversion, but it appears to be real 
Well it was certainly red 
New tyres going on the iPace today. 48k miles, still got at least 3mm of tread all round but they have to change as they are getting close to being life expired due to age (for further reasons see Richard Hammond jet dragster crash stuff.
But hey, big heavy EVs shed tyre dust everywhere…
Been to see the Polestar 4 at Meadowhall today. This will be my next motor if our car salary sacrifice scheme ever gets off its arse and launches.
This colour is very ‘yer da’ but they’ve got some decent alternatives. This one is a display model left-hooker brought over from Madrid. Apparently RHD test drive models will be here next month and first deliveries in Jan25.
