The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
If that's euros it's equal to £1.59 here - 19p cheaper than my last fill!
Are we being forced to go electric?

Elon has been paying my electric charges this trip
Strictly speaking, all of those that can't afford an EV have been funding your trip, along with pensioners liable to freeze to death this winter when they can't afford the extra fuel costs.

Just filled up the Ka for the holiday near the Pendle Witch Trail. £1.61 litre and put in 40 quid which will do me.
Probably more than an EV in electric but I saved about £47000 buying the Ka and not a Tesla 3. Not as big or as flash but should get me there, pootle around for a week and get me back

Surprised me too, just our local garage, can't even remember the brand they sell. I wondered why it was busy.
Had a word with the lady at the till and that is the price they have been told to sell it for. Cheaper than the supermarkets.
Edit. Checked and its BP

Found this quite interesting,

okay it won't suit a lot of families, but it will suit a lot of city dwellers, TBF for 80% of the time we could live with it, I'm sure it won't be sub £20K by the time it gets to the UK if it ever does,

Strictly speaking, that's nonsense. Tesla pay for the electricity they don't magic it up.

True, they don't magic it up. Comes out of the profits they make from doing things like selling cars........ I guess Tesla car owners have paid something towards it somewhere.

Why would pensioners be paying for the costs of filling a Tesla. How do you figure that out ?
And let's gloss over the people who've died from pollution in cities from good old petrol and diesel engines going past their homes.

Just had a quick check, might not be totally correct but I guess Tesla make enough profit per vehicle to splash a bit of free electric about lol

And do they donate the tax that's not being received from the fuel sales?

Of course I have. But very rarely in circumstances where I could get a train or bike or walk.
