The precedent in the UK is that a close Referendum is only implemented if 40% or more of the electorate vote in favour of the change.

I used to fit two baby chairs a stroller and a fold-down cot into a Fiat Panda, plus overnight bags.

What happened to the racing Model S that Tiff Needell drove? The one that a team had been working on for a year to become track capable, but still couldn’t manage a lap and a half without overheating?

Aha - got it:

Renault had 4 EVs on the European market by the time Tesla brought out the Model S.
One of them - the Zoe - is still frequently Europe’s top-selling EV. 250 miles range for $17,886.

Yeah - it’s pretty much as coverage complete as the Tesla network, and the Tesla network has a much higher cars-per-chargepoint ratio.
Plus Tesla splits each charger between two cars, so you can get as little as 34kW from a charger at busy times.

There are a bunch of “how to best constructively approach your landlord/association into letting you run a spur from the gatage electrics to your parking spot”. blogposts and videos on the ‘net.

Because they did not open-source their patents. Tesla open their patent collection to anyone who gives Tesla reciprocal access to their patent collection.

“The Volkswagen Group is getting [a Supercharger network] built out, but it’ll take some time”

The last 5 Teslas I have been in (all S and X, all registered in the past 1 to 4 years) have been off the road for repairs for an average of 3 weeks in the last year.

There are many some highly publicised Teslas out there approaching 500K miles on 1 car.

Just the drop in coal on the US grid is responsible for the fact that CO2 in the USA’s emissions has dropeed this year.

Yep - certainly every single job in coastal Louisiana

Yeah - an electric bicycle, and and one of the solar arrays you can roll up into a backpack.

Fuel economical, fuel grade tolerant, robust and capacious.

Ideally, something that will run on used frying oil - which means a diesel from years and years ago.

So, a Volvo diesel estate from the ‘90s?

As opposed to Tesla drivers moving into the passenger seat, or even the rear seat?
