I watched a car TV program that claimed the new Tesla car it tested only did about half what Tesla claimed. Tesla threatened to sue. Very aggressive lot imho
I think same stuff went on with french electric boats couple of years ago. Noone talks about them today. Pure embarrassment for french.
They had good reason to do that, because the test was bullshit. Several of the real car owners testified that they can do many more miles. How would you feel if they degrade your product because of a faulty test??
The TV programme tests about 10 cars per episode. Mainly super cars like Ferrari, Lambo's etc . I think one can safely say they have no reason to tell lies. Everyone knows electric cars are poor on long distances. To change the subject slightly I heard on the radio that they are going to race electric cars in about 10 big cities over the winter off period. Should put sound in too or no one will hear anything much.
I can't wait to buy an electric car when it goes mainstream. Tired of changing engine oil and buying gas.
i'm in southern ct 40 miles from nyc..i see them daily. i happen to be one of those big believers in electric over combustion for many many reasons. the p85 performance will be my next car very soon despite the pesky issues of kids tuition payments.
I like the blah blah about hybrids. 113 miles to the gallon - great but need to come down a lot in price.
