Re: Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?

A full charge at the super charger is about £1.50 ...

My Tesla(S) (we have three) are still brilliant but unfortunately we can't charge them at home during the day, it immediately just says it's too hot to charge and even during the night it will only charge at a reduced rate, so it takes three full nights to fully charge my car in 40c+ ambient temps ...

We don't have towels in the bathroom, they're in the linen cupboard and we fetch one when we have a wash/shower and then we put it in the wash afterwards.

A well sorted one like the one I bought off CC/GP would win at most UK tracks in inters.

I read that as Ferrets.
