Yellow Tesla

[Richard A Thackeray]

Whilst out & about this afternoon, l spotted this Model 3(?)
It’s the first time l’ve seen any model in that colour
I like it

Sorry, taken from a dozen yards or so away


I must admit an interest, as wife is considering one, when the contract for her C-HR expires in June

That's a Model X, its likely had a wrap applied. Tesla official colours are pretty standard - no yellow.

The blue one behind is possibly a Model 3

Great for thunder flies

Polestar 2 for similar money, all day long.

In fact Mrs D wants one badly, but we're unsure how easily it will accommodate her wheelchair.

Daughter said there was a yellow one at the Leeds dealer, when they went for a look on Sunday
Unless it was that one??

I'm not that familiar with them, my naming it such, was an assumption

Great for thunder flies

Any kind of flying insect
When I was a teenager, my dad had a (mk1) Cavalier in yellow, so I know how they attract them
Wifes first car (when she was 18) was a bright yellow Viva

Looks interesting
Am I wrong, but is it an offshoot of Volvo?
It looks like the bigger saloons

Still don't think they will be as successful as Garlic Bread, surely they are the most environmentally unfriendly thing claiming to be environmentally friendly thing available, all those precious metals being moved all over the world multiple times.

... and the maker uses all his state-subsidised profits to send rockets into space (or blow them up on landing). Hardly sustainable at all.

Probably get shot down by someone, but this bio fuel F1 are looking at sounds potentially interesting. Takes carbon from the air to produce it and low/zero emissions (allegedly). They are looking at it as maybe a better solution than all electric. Must admit, if the could come up with a synthetic fuel that even greatly reduced emissions, I think I would prefer that that having the hassle of electric.

Yes. Polestar was the ‘performance’ arm of Volvo, looking after their motorsport programme and variously showing up as sporty variants of Volvo models. A few years ago they set it free as a brand it is own right to lead the electrification charge, starting with a hybrid and now full EV.

Tesla have never sold any Yellow paint option, the closest was 'bronze'.

Its not that hard to get an aftermarket wrap in bright yellow if you wanted though .

I appreciate that
She’s just considering at the moment, but may be swayed by 0% ‘company car tax’ on it
(at the moment...)

You do know that your petrol/diesel doesn't naturally flow from your local filling station ? Every tankful has to be imported.

I just can't imagine buying or leasing a car that cost more than our first mortgage in 1985!

Likewise

But, it's her car, her company (okay.... co-owner/director)
