It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Nothing wrong with that, especially on today's roads. I've always had a fancy for a hovercraft myself

Test drove Tesla Model 3 Performance today. This exact one.
It's fast. Really fast. 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. Believing that figure is easy when you slap your foot down at low speed. It's not so impressive when you do so at 60+ but it still moves.
It's really comfortable too. And it whilst it doesn't corner as.well as my Boxster and isn't as.much fun to drive, I am happy it is a great blend of compromises. Because, well, everything is a compromise.
I'm not a fan of its looks.
Didn't manage to outrun the shitehawks though...
With that kind of acceleration you'll never stop buying tyres

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
KICKSTARTER: ENABLING SCAMMERS SINCE 2009
Not been in a Model 3 yet, but top model S was interesting. Whether we like it or not, this will be the future of "motoring". Not so worried about the electric powertrain (apart from the lack of engine note and range anxiety) but the inevitable arrival of automation and me not being allowed to stuff it into a tree on my own incompetence. I think the Teslas actually look quite nice, and I think the 3 is a 7 seater? (Looks a lot nicer than my wife's Qashqai +2 that's for sure.)

No it's a four seater. Five at a push maybe.
Played with auto steering but TBH it's a bit crap you might as well steer yourself as you have to keep your hands on the wheel. Also did auto lane change. Might as well do that yourself. But adaptive cruise is mandatory in any car these days for me and that works well.

Early days for electric cars yet. I've looked at parts prices for older hybrids and they are scary. If the electric motor in a Prius fails, the entire transaxle unit has to be replaced at a cost of thousands. The battery pack is similarly horrifyingly dear. Both have been known to fail.

yup at moment major parts are very expensive; probably why many are leased. as more get made tho the prices will fall. time being the hybrid is the safer route than a full electric, but a few years lots can change.
we will probably be getting told the diesel is the way to go again

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
