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

I thought Elon is progressing humanity with his endeavors into space.

Space X is like a hobby to him, or maybe its FSD that is the hobby.......Not sure but apparently autonomous driving software is going to be pushed to all the cars via a button click shortly!

"Assuming user approves warning & agrees to drive carefully".
That's comforting.

Did some colouring with my daughter today and OPs thread came to mind .

White would still be my choice again though .

Hmm


Despite her thoughts being in this direction, & having seen multiple models at the Leeds dealer, now she's decided she doesn't like the look of it
Maybe that's because she's noticing them now?
"Like A Squashed Frog" was her description of the Model 3
And the minimalist interior puts her off a bit more

Daughter is trying to counteract this, as she wants her to get one

I might have to show her the Polestar 2??

The Polestar isn't a small car, its more a SUV than saloon.

Your other option is an iPace, or VAG are coming out with a whole fleet of EVs. Hyundai and Kia do good cars too.

@gzoom
Sadly, the nearest Polestar dealer is Manchester

That Hyundai is sadly reminscent of the smaller Audis

Just had a look at the iPace, it's 'fugly', isn't it?
But thankfully, nowhere near as bad as the X6, or that equally awful M-B couple/'SUV'/hatch/dogs-breakfast

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Showed her the Polestart 2, with V B-H testdriving, & she thinks it looks okay

I've had a look at the VW id4
I'll show her that, & the Mustang E

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

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.

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.

We saw a Polestar 2 this afternoon
It was parked at the summit of HolmeMoss, on the unsurfaced parking by the West Yorlshire/Derbyshire border signs

It's taller than I expected

Its not a small car, certainly when parked next to our X it holds it own in size and the X is over 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.

BMW is also launching the i4, infact pretty much ever brand is now launching EVs in the £40-50k price range, you really are spoilt for choice.

 

[gzoom]

I still however think the Model S is the best looking EV saloon on sale, there is something very proportioned about its shape, despite been a decade old in design.

The new Audi GT and Taycan have too many try hard grills/stuck on bits for my liking in comparison. We wouldn't hesitate to have one........If we had £80k spare in the bank account.

No, no Bum-W's at this house, thankyou!!
(unless it's an i8)

It is crazy, back in 1985 we bought our first house for £19,950 and I was driving around in a 1976 Golf 1.1N which cost me £500 from Northampton Auctions.

First house, £3.850 in 1968, at that time, I was driving a Ford Anglia 105E, cannot remember exactly, but, I think it would have been 6 years old then. Mortgage was £27/month. Mind you, I was only earning £22/week (gross).

 

[CharlesF]

How about a Ford Mustang Mach e? Auto Express gave it a great review when compared to a Tesla 3

 

[gzoom]

ID4 is sub £40K for the first edition, seems pretty good.

If you really don't want an EV but your daughter is moaning, just her get one of these........Age limit dependent though
