I'd love to know the real world range of it when it has 4 x heated seats, heated windscreen, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel and warm air heater on, as mine spends most of it's time currently at the moment  FFRR SDV8 Autobiography

Anyone else getting a sinking feeling letters not necessarily in the right order

If it can do over 300 miles of range, loaded up, with my foot down, and all the electrical toys on, I”m in. Otherwise I will stick with the V8 until the battery tech improves.

Thanks Stan, you got to give in, that woman in their film is looking very nice...and wokeness is in, so we just wait until they are all electric and stand stil in line waiting for the electric towcar to come to bring them home...
Did you know that the tesla service cars are Ford transit diesels in the US....?

you'd think that they would use some electric van of sorts Robert ,or even one of those cyber trucks... ... - .- -.

Wish you strength

I heard about the diesel vans for working on Tesla vehicles a while back, and thought it was odd, but sensible. Maybe Elon Musk knows something we don't

Found this, comes from a new film called 'Leave the world behind' apparently Mr Musk is not very happy about the pile up of Tesla's, maybe the producer or director had one that broke down

That is an interesting point about cars being intrinsically safe, on the tankers I sail on all equipment fitted in certain areas has to be intrinsically safe, which is also quite expensive, let lone the challenges it brings / entails.
Another reason why BEV 'S are expensive, to give people an idea, normal two way radios ( Walkie talkies ) quality ones, ie Motorola, prices are around £ 160/170, the intrinsically safe versions about £750/850 each! on board we have one intrinsically safe smart phone with built in camera for use in hazardous areas, price £2500.

Interesting info Phoenix thanks for posting that, as we usually think of IS systems preventing sparks, as we carry crude oil, obviously the two do not mix. Not owning an EV I had not considered this aspect, until now that is. This evening has been spent searching for more info on this on the net, when I should have been getting on with other jobs Typical, start to research something and suddenly, where have the last three hours gone !
