ULEZ & The Environment

[give_us_a_wave]

Optimistic of you to imagine the species will last that long

Honestly you're much more optimistic than I

I'd had a drink at the time.

Now I've sobered up I'm back to envisioning an endless nuclear winter peopled by twisted mutations.

A bit like Birmingham in the 70s

I agree, I lived in Brum in the 70s

I went there quite a bit. Those were the good old days of a free society when admission to gigs & buying booze whilst being obviously underage was a common thing.

It was also where, at the age of 14, Peter Cook called me a ****. Still a proud moment.

To be fair, you're probably not in an elite group on the Peter Cook part.

I reckon I'd be one of the few members in my age group at the time though.

Plus he only said it because I asked him to. I'd guess most of the others didn't.

I hate mine.

I have no problem with the infrastructure which seems to be growing and with fast charging it really doesn't take me much longer to get anywhere than it would with internal combustion. What I hate is the car. It's taken any joy away from driving for me and it's now a passive experience.

I've taken to using my bikes for almost every journey unless there is snow on the ground, just because I feel more 'connected' to the process of riding them.

My Tesla is also badly finished in places. The inside of the door hinges are not painted to match the doors as an example. It all feels a bit 'that'll do' and when you've shelled out a whole heap of cash it's frustrating when the details haven't been properly considered. I don't know whether I'd like a different electric car and maybe I should test drive a few but I am pretty committed to binning the whole concept off and getting myself an ozone killer again.

However, if there is anyone in the market for a Tesla Model S then they are brilliant cars and I would never hesitate to buy another one. Just message me.

Ooh look at me, I’ve got a Tesla

Aren’t I great

Do you want it?

It's shit.

Unless you want it. Then it's brilliant.

On the contrary, I find it one of those helpful indicators in life. Tesla owner = ****.

My sister hates hers as well. Tesla literally is the car version of what used to be Twitter. Elon Musk’s insufferable personality and minimal technological expertise condensed into a single product: countless unnecessary, stupid, obstructive or outright harmful gimmick features, colossal amounts of unearned arrogance gushing constantly from every gaping design flaw, and the exterior image of success far exceeding its quality.

At least (I assume) you didn’t put a personalised plate on yours. When I saw my sister’s I told her it made her a double twat.

 

[bocadillo]

I told her it made her a double twat.

I think one of them was probably her arsehole.

I didn't.

The **** would probably fall off anyway.

You're thinking of Audis.

 

[pork pie fox]

You're thinking of Audis.

I drive an Audi EV, so that scuppers your theory, clearly.

Before seeing one in the wild id never seen pictures or anything, just heard the name and that was it. My first impression was it looks like it's a prototype that's been rushed out. The black teslas look more finished than white ones for some reason though.

 

[Blue Maniac]

The Cybertruck is my favourite. PlayStation 2 graphics-looking piece of shit.

Have you seen one in the flesh? They look like a skip on wheels.

Mine has been finished by a man with no eyes and acute arthritis in all joints.

Like I say, it's for sale so.....

This might be the best description of the Cybertruck I have ever seen
