Be interesting to see what you guys think. I was very sceptical of Tesla until I drove one. It was a revelation for me and I honestly can’t see myself buying another ICE car except maybe another 911. I’ve noticed from the forums while researching EVs that not many owners are keen to go back.

Great news and glad to hear that you guys at least consider a test drive. Biggest problem though is that you need to live with the car for some weeks before you realize how smart it is. That was the case for me at least. The test drive was great for experiencing the drivetrain, re-gen braking etc, but all the other pros with EV have been coming along since I became an owner.

Looking forward to read about your impressions and enjoy your test run! :)

As reported in the motoring press this week:

A "game-changing" electric battery capable of a full charge in just 6 minutes is due to appear in 2019.

Japanese tech firm and lithium-ion battery manufacturer Toshiba has announced a new material capable of doubling a battery's anode capacity - the electrode used to discharge and recharge the battery. As well as the quick charge time, the new battery would deliver 320 km (200 mile) range.

I understood that ;). Just tried to say (with a bit of humor) that a positive review on the Tesla forum will just disappear among all the others :D
