Let’s recap a little bit…

When it comes to things like policy there is always a huge influence of various parties, let’s call them lobbyists, to stay polite 😊 After 2015 two things happened in parallel. First of all, the diesel scandal. And while apart from VW no one paid signific

The Model S Plaid is insanity...

Have you tried the Tesla Model S Plaid? The car is wicked fast. Even the standard Tesla Model S from 2021 forward is wicked fast. Enough to make your passengers feel unhappy if you're not careful with the pedal. I haven't driven the Lucid Sapphire. But I

Politics might play a small part…

But the bigger issue is that the Tesla package simply lost competitiveness. Their aftersales is abysmal here (in comparison to existing brands), the reliability is mediocre at best. While for many of the early adopters (especially Model S) the advantages

Let me think 🤔

By sensible I actually meant something that would be likely fun to drive. Whether it’s sensible having something with so much performance is another question altogether. As for silly electric vehicles not that many around. Something like Tesla’s Model S P

We were talking about boring car colors recently

I saw orange-gold shining across the parking lot and couldn't tell what kind of car it was ... definitely a color I would not forget ... custom? It's a big sedan - maybe a newer Jag? I can't see the body just the glow off the hood and the A pillars... No!

On the autobahn, we find Teslas mainly in the slipstream of trucks ...

... at less than 90 km/h. The more impressed I was with a guy and his Model S who took part in a "sports" driving training of our national AA. They have a nice course for that not far from my place, some short straight parts, many curves. In the straight
