Are we saying that Model Xs that can do sub 3-sec 0-60 despite being wide, long, and heavy are just fine, no madness there? The madness only starts above the energy consumption of that vehicle? Perhaps as well as steady state consumption we should have laws around instantaneous energy consumption?

If all cars 'have' to migrate to a 'bar of soap' design (Model 3 anyone ?) then the roads are going to be a very boring place indeed

Actually I wouldn't say NO to any of those things. EVs do need to pushed towards efficiency just like combustions car are with higher tax/fuel/running costs.

So, not only are we pushed towards EV's that hopefully get their energy from renewable sources (assuming you have the right energy provider.) Do you now want to limit the amount of renewable, emission-free energy we're allowed to use in them?

Check batteries before operating

Am all for taxation as a tool to modify behaviour......but I'll happily follow the crowd on ignoring climate change. Blocking the M25, that's just crazy .

Another small update here... sounds like there's a chance it could be coming to the UK too! 743bhp, more power than a Ferrari F8 and 0-60 in 3.0 seconds... in a three-tonne pick-up truck! It's so bonkers you can't help but like it!

The IPO has gone well. Up another 23% so far today.
