    It's like talking to a kid with the latest Playstation... Give it a while Nige, he'll get back to planet earth and tell us all about it.


    Mike, we want all the fine details too, who quibbles most using too much battery, who's phone it binds to first, how many fingerprints you had to wipe off and how many people you scare sneaking up on them.. and we want photos too!



    Tesla onboard network, hackers give it a once over.

    I'll do my best I'm no literature writing genius like Nige and Blis [:s]
    Blis you'd absolutely freak at the tech side and Nige will love the acceleration but it comes at a cost I'm averaging about 500watts per mile ATM so only a range of 140 miles
    Finger print central [:x] the black piano finish is not forgiving.

    My car control app is now live so turn on the heater 15 mins before going out with my phone [:D] getting into a loverly warm car is cool lol
    Dinners ready later gents :thumbup:

    Telephone apps? Watts per mile? This is all a bit weird. You'll be saying it doesn't even have a choke control next.

    No 4 wheel drive with absolutely no wheel spin as everything's controlled by computers and reacts in milliseconds :o

    Guaranteed for 8 yrs unlimited mileage at which point Tesla will check the battery and guarantee for a further 4 years or offer a upgrade , so the sales guys say .

    Recommend that day to day charge upto 80/90 percent to get better longevity out of battery as you will get voltage drop off over time affecting range but they reckon on 1 percent per year

    Are you kidding me Micky?! Who left their faarking dirty boots in the boot?! lol

    Looks real nice mate! Love the colour too. And the double centre console. And the smart tv. And the front storage area. Wheels look cool too.
    Interior looks real nice aswell.

    I thought my car tax was good at 30 a year! Yours is zero isnt it?

    How come you carry a hose pipe in the boot though? [:D]

    Bought my boy an oset 12.5 sport for xmas. Electric trails bike. Its brilliant. Looking into getting a KTM Freeride E for myself to play with.
    Starting to like the thought of all this electric stuff.

    Yep, cracking buy there. Interested to hear how you get on with it.

    Looked at KTM freerides last year, really nice bike, good weight and size, but OMG 10 grand.......not a chance.

    I know! Trust me though, im not paying 10k for one! They come up every now and again for around 6k. I could probably live with that and hope I could recoup the majority of my money back after a year, providing I havnt smashed it up or something. lol

    Unless I was loaded, I would never buy brand new. Forecourt tax is just too hard for me to swallow. I recently aquired a car that was 9 months old with 9k on the clock for just over 10k below its original price. Buying new, for me, doesnt make sense.

    Have you looked at the OSET 24? Its due to be released this year. Looks pretty good. Aslong as you dont mind standing!
