It does look gorgeous though !!!

Time for me to put my big business plan into motion

Actually, I passed a Tesla on the A118 last weekend driving back from Le Mans to Paris. It was doing about 10KPH on the outside lane - think his batteries must have been running out - perhaps he should have stuck some Duracells in!!

2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

I have been to an area in Holland several times that may be near a Tesla dealer because i see them every time I'm there and they are FAST. Although i would love to test them next to the 5.0 MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I know, you don't stand a chance against a Model S, not even my lovely FFRR.

If those cars weren't so bloody expensive, I would definitely get one as a daily mover and keep the FFRR for the rest of the trips. I think the Model S is brilliant, excellent design, very Jaguar like.

I hope Elon is right and Gen 3 will be reasonably priced, so far the guy comes through on his promises.

I wouldn't mind the Model X either MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Yeh Model X looks nice. Don't think there is a release date for the UK yet.

It looks lovely and even Mutley would be able to get in and out easily and fit the dogs in !

I think we will witness the decline of the fossil fuel cars and the rise of the electric car, renewable energy etc. The Third Industrial Revolution is upon us. And I'm happy to help by using up oil in the form of petrol into the 5.0 SC fuel tank

I love to see it happening and be part of it. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
