I have a pal who wishes to sell his restored and freshly re-sprayed TR5 which he has owned for many years...

Hoping not to drift too far off coarse.. (-:

I suspect that a speed boat analogy works well enough with a Tesla in terms of possible initial excitement of a less than reasonably well researched new experience having the potential to drop off rapidly..? The milk float comparison, slightly less so, given the somewhat crazy acceleration figures of EV`s primarily designed as average family transport...? While my good lady enjoys driving my tin top, I suspect rapid acceleration is not high up on her list of priorities when deciding to buy into the idea of EV..

As I typed, I see my good lady`s vehicular choice as no more than as a personal transportation device that perhaps fits better with current and perhaps future political influences. My own choices seem rather obviously based on a slightly different set of priorities.

In terms of there being plenty of EV options available and the adoption of personal choices, the interweb can supply enough "proof" to convince us that any less than wise path to follow might be perfect for us.. ?

In terms of Tesla engineering, I found this one of many EV and Tesla vids (URL below) to be rather interesting, and if in anywhere near accurate, I suspect and hope that a Tesla might just be ahead of JLR in the reliability and customer service stakes, given our personal JLR experience, and that of others expressed on this forum..... Time will tell.

As for the vid, I stuck with it through the intro, and was glad I did, to then listen to the more detailed insight on the evolution of EV design and manufacturing processes over the years. I did allow for the possibility of a percentage of American bias in the thinking, in that if anyone might be equipped to control aspects of the interweb, thus the thinking of the masses, my guess is that Musk seems likely to have far more options in that regard than most.

Hope that any who might watch the vid might have thought it thought provoking..... ?
