I’m sure it does what it does very well and provided it’s screwed together properly will no doubt appeal to those with the money to spend.

For me the interior is still a massive issue of conceptual ideals versus aesthetics and ergonomics.

A good friend chauffeurs a Model S and as his schedule can be ad hoc is constantly frustrated and angry at the lack of charging. Late night in London he says is a nightmare. Even Tesla themselves don’t have a facility.

Agree that charging infrastructure will have to improve hugely before people take up EVs on a really large scale, Mike.

Passed a white Model 3 going the other way on the road just south of Reading on Tuesday. looked very low but very smart. Definitely agree with Simon about chargers. Major improvements in fast charger availability needed before Ev's become viable as an only car especially if long journeys involved.

^^^ I’ve now seen a few Model 3s out on the road and I think they look ok, to be fair. :)

I'm with you, my neighbour has the model S and the screen is much better placed. Apart from that screen being in the wrong place - nice car at a decent price, attractive if you are in the market for electric IMO.
