Not a problem
My response was regarding the cost of car v house
Second part was that, I won't be involved in paying for it
I will want to go on the insurance though
(I'm not on the C-HR)
Looks like Tesla are going offer the Roadster 2.0 in yellow.......You might want to start saving up though, sub 2 second 0-60 time doesn't come cheap

I've only ever seen black or white Teslas and the majority of those have been white. Which I much confess, IMO I can't imagine having on the drive and thinking that colour really suits the shape of the models.
Double vomit!

I used to have gold Firenza.
Met Mrs B while I owned it. We holidayed in this country and Southern Germany in it. - All with a dodgy (i.e.working as and when they decided to), speedo and fuel gauge.
I may have a picture somewhere of it.
White interior + White paint + black wheel is a Tesla special = Otherwise known as 'Stormtrooper'
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.

A Polestar??
I'm desperately hoping the Polestar 2 is present on our new company car list when it's released later this month, we've recently changed fleet management companies and they're a bit slow off the mark
If it's not on there then hopefully the VW ID.4 will be; Tesla's are the market leaders for sure but theres something about their styling (and their owner ) that doesnt sit right with me; its as if they try too hard to be different in as many areas as possible, even those that design evolution has already perfected 
I confess I have in the past been childish/stupid and 'enjoyed' the performance on offer, but most of the time sending a 2ton+ car down the road at acceleration speeds that use to be preserve of supercars really isn't very clever or needed. Interestingly my insurance on the Tesla was only £350 this year fully comp, so overall as group Tesla drivers cannot have a high risk crash profile unlike trying to insure a Scooby in the 00s!
When using 'Autopilot' it will also REFUSE to go over the speedlimit, so 30 = 30, which is quite useful to ensure you don't end up speeding on the commute in town.

First house in 1983, £10500, and no car, I couldn't afford a mortgage and a car.
