Tesla v the BBC

[hollowBallistix]

I can't see them winning the case agains't TG

While I am keen on new technology & developments, I'm sick of hearing how much better a Prius or something like a Tesla is for us, quoting MPG figures that honestly most people in real world driving situations will never maintain !

Did anyone see the test that was done with the Mini E ? took 4 days to travel 450 ish miles !! that's just shocking, the infrastructure is not in place currently, cars take way too long to charge, the power is probably coming from fossil fuel reactors so it's not exactly cleaner !

A VW Polo Blue Motion or even the New Fiesta's would be my weapon of choice ! and i'm glad TG has showed up how piss poor the current electric cars are.

I'm much more interested in the technology shown in the Honda FCX clarity

Basicaly then, it all comes down to the opinion of Jeremy Clarkson.
Hmmm.
I shall send him some figures on a 1908 Panhard we are rebuilding to see if he beleives it will need a 'real' road test or just a 'virtual' one.
I wonder how many failures of components in the other 'big' boys toys he gets to test actualy reach the viewer.
I would guess that cars from major car makers are treated slightly differently.
Interesting to know how many car makers refuse to let the big 'wobbly' guy test their products. Another case of media BS controlling public opinion IMHO.
