    The ultimate virtue signalling in his 150K+ car.
    I wonder what his other cars are . Maybe a HSV Como or something that guzzles fuel?
    The average Tesla owner in the USA owns 5 cars.

    Hi Phillip,

    I just noticed your Bakehouse & Cafe in the photo! You just missed the car as it drove past, Lol!

    Q: So there is zero oil in a Tesla? Nothing in any of the drive-train?
    Q: What about grease?

    No hate here - I love the look of the Tesla, it’s just a bit out of my price range!

    Love EV's, love the tech in the Tesla, hate Elon Musk as he rips 100's of Millions of dollars from the US Public to build his empire - I almost get that as he's bringing some incredible tech to the market, but some of his other ideas are just bonkers - basic physics says they're completely not possible, but the US public and others just seem to gobble up his BS with a smile on their faces and hand him even more cash. I don't think much of his ethics either.

    Would I have a Tesla? On principle - no, but only for the above mentioned reasons. If I had the money, I would have multiple EV's though, both myself and SWMBO could work within there limitations easily, as could most people with a bit of thought. Add some good solar and you are as close as you can come to a vehicle that doesn't deplete finite resources - apart from building them, etc.

    Just need to win Tatts...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    FWIW I would not buy a current model Tesla, not particularly keen on Autonomous features Either, but some are inevitable like pulling over safely and stopping if you fall asleep.

    Looking very much forward to seeing the New Defender & hoping there is a Full Electric model, - I'll be one of the first adopters of that.

    But got to give Elon Musk credit , Ethics aside, he has given the planet a good boot up the arse.
