Re: Tesla Model 3

Which is a fair point. I’d love to know what sort of % cost the drivetrain accounts for in various ICE car segments. Given that all EV are very expensive, and it’s a competitive market, I’d like to think the high prices do reflect the costs of the batteries / controls etc, but you do have to wonder ...

Re: Tesla Model 3

Blah blah blah https://i.imgur.com/UGvrerz.jpg How f%%kin' much :shock: For a Q5/A4 with a washing machine motor, or two of them depending on spec. The RS E-Tron is rumoured to be £150k I don’t like spending money any more than anyone else, but a Q8 would be a more direct non-EV comparison. They’re...

XC40 all-electric was interesting but is still 4 months away and CarWow & Volvo did their level best not to sell us a car. Ha...

Re: Craig Moncrieff thank you.

Another completely painless MOT and service for me too. And a good car / dog chinwag to boot. Thank you Craig.

First time I have seen one of these out in the wild. I took this picture next Thursday. Only two owners - most recent one has had it since 1937.

Re: Any Drone Experts ?.

Yeah sorry - didn’t mean that to sound as smart-arse as it reads when I look at it now. Like the idea of the robot mower.

Re: Any Drone Experts ?.

I’m not an expert, but you legally need to maintain line of sight at all times.

Which might be a challenging argument if you fly it in the dark. When you are sleeping. And you’re not flying it. :?

Re: White Evora, Fintry

Ah - that was me. 😊
