I am sorry to say I was not impressed

And my Daimler Super V8 ( at 5.4 secs 0-60mph) can still thrash the pants off most modern euro boxes on a straight road!

Sorry, but couldn't resist

It doesn't wallow like most folk imagine. Cross country roads are just too narrow to try it out thoroughly!

I am sure his Tesla is a very nice car but it did not impress me or is it me?

On the way home it got me thinking in a few years if he is sat in a viewpoint having a picnic will some one come over to him a talk to him about his car?

Will any modern electric cars be looked upon with some jealousy or envy? My guess no but why is this? They will out perform my car, they are vastly better in every way but my guess we will look at them the same way we look at a fridge freezer or a washing machine.

You may think of the modern Tesla-type car as a battery on wheels no more no less, cool efficient, and utterly devoid of any character, you will not even have to drive it, it will not let you!. What a prospect!, So no, nobody will even come over and start to admire it or even talk about it, why would anyone be bothered, when a fridge is more interesting.

HA HA, it's the sound, the tremble, the shaking and the excitement.

Most people get exited by a woman dressed in leather.

The reason??

Smells like a new car!
