Tim, I have been for the test drive in one of this. It's so quiet inside, that you could hear yourself think!
I loved the acceleration, when the demonstrator asked me to floor it on the A40.
For me the only problem would be the price, but I think they are getting a cheaper version if this car.
I especially was interested on the whole concept of how the car came into being and the person who made it all happen.

I'm also keen on the whole concept of the car and company.
They plan to have the S, the X a SUV and the 3 or E, this will fall into the c£30k price bracket and similar in size to a 3 series BMW. If they get the engine power and dual motor drive on that one right, I would think it will be a really big seller.

The S is currently available with 4WD, it comes in a £13000 pack along with airsuspension. It takes the price of a very well specced up Tesla S well over £80,000 and well into Range Rover territory! The S is not a small car either, I would say it might even be longer than a FFRR!

Do you fancy one then?
I looked at the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but choosing to stay with the Disco Sport. I was impressed when I saw the DS in the flesh at Gleneagles. Plenty room in the second row seats when moved back with a fair sized boot, similar driving position to the Evoque, in fact I liking it to a more practical Evoque.

Well in the space of three cars today in Cirencester I saw a Tesla S in Black, at close range it really is a big car then came the PHEV Outlander. I can't make my mind up about it, seems bigger than the Evoque, they've gone for a modern style similar to the Evoque but somehow I don't get it. It will still sell though.
RE: Teslas - XFullFatTim - 06-11-2014 12:29am
There are loads and loads of the Outlander PHEV's around and Autocar and What Car? magazines both rave about the cars they have on long term test - neither mag has tried doing what we got up to at Eastor type things in them though! It is bigger than Evoque, more RRS size. Mitsubishi's Evoque/Freelander competitor is the ASX

TESLA are opening a new store in Digbeth, Birmingham today.
The electric model S is getting reviews as being brilliant..

They are also opening another one in Manchester shortly, no plans at the moment to come to God's Own Country though
RE: Teslas - Firenze - 07-11-2014 05:13pm
Must admit I really like the Tesla too, I sat in an S at Goodwood last year and was really impressed and the range is so much better than any other ev.
Im currently pondering on wether to sell my Evoque and buy a cheap run around for a year or two with a view to getting a 3 as soon as they come out. The Evoques been great though and not had any problems but thought having some warranty left is a good selling point, so need to decide soon if I should sell.
