It sounds like a tax coding - what is it a Tesla ?

If it is I saw one on display at Ascot as part of the Red Bull Air Race it was red and indoors and looked a big boy.

Love the colour

Yes Richard, its a Tesla, its a big car! Very wide!
Incredible torque! Instant power!!
So easy to drive and very smooth, with the exception of a +8, I have no interest in any other cars even if I have the money to buy!!

It has lovely lines to it I'm not surprised you were happy to wait, it would be very interesting to hear your driving impressions in detail when you have lived with her for a while kin.

Enjoy your miles.

Looks good, let us know how you find it to drive. 9 months was quite a wait.

No "running in" required either, I expect.

PLEASE do report when you have "mastered insanity" as the Tesla sales guy described it. He recommended finding somewhere that had "Shell Grip" at the start point for maximum traction, although he did say it didn't do a lot for tyre life.....

Hi Kin,

Interesting car and very much a different experience. As Richard says let's have your detailed driving impressions once you get a few miles on it.

As regards the Plus 8, this IMHO would make the perfect foil to a Tesla and as Morgan now taking orders for August production next year, you need to get your order in now. This is certainly the last V8-engined 'traditional' Morgan and is a classic in the making.

An amazing car ..look forward to more feedback.

I had a BMW 3i for a day, I was sold on the technology but not the strange BMW product.

The existing Tesla S is a bit big for my needs and the X is a "crossover, so banned from the Jenks household, but the Model 3, due in 2017...now we could be talking!

Model 3

As to the Plus 8...I think everyone here knows what I think of mine, by now.

Brian is right, it is a classic in the making.

There are three of this model in the small City of St.Asaph.!
Perhaps the original buyer is after his free one believe if he can get ten mates to buy one .he gets his free ?
Is that correct.
