Guest Richzx6r Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I bet no one here slagging off electric motors has ever driven a tesla. No and tbh nor would I actually want to they look ugly as sin but most importantly lack an engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 For town riding that's fine, but I suggest that you look at the Zero reviews I've read them. But the price is way to high for what you get I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just to add some useful context here regarding lithium battery costs.On average they've fallen in price by 20% every year since 2010. As their popularity increases, the manufacturing techniques improve, and the wholesale price drops as there is a good supply for the demand, but the demand is for good value power storage.Expect in the next 5-10 years the tech will get cheap, and then after that it will probably swap focus to being more performance driven.

S-Westerly Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Yeah the new model 3 tesla is supposed to be about £35k Dream on for that. My wife fancied one and put down the refundable £1000 deposit more than 2 years ago. She cancelled the order last year as the earliest RHD version was not expected until next year. Since then I've heard it may never happen and the price is rising to north of 45k if you have the battery extended range pack. As a "by the way" we did get to drive a Model S and it was pretty awesome and I personally quite like the shape. I like an internal combustion engine in a bike but to me a car is just a tool so I don't really care what is under the bonnet hence all our cars have been my wife's and I've long since given up on trying to work out the reason she chooses the cars she has.

SometimesSansEngine Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 A friend of mine the other day posted on Facebook "is Tesla just a giant Ponzi scheme?"It's quite a strong statement but considering the financial history of the company it's an interesting point.
