Re: Tesla Drivers

No but he has started it , he was doing his own as the prototype, which is now finished I believe . He is very talented so should be worth the wait .
I am going up to Pystill Raeadr tomorrow , so will probably pop my head in to see where we are at with it. I have had some photos. .

Im still thinking about a Box van to convert, might be a next winter job ( as I really need to get the " man cave " done this summer )

Re: Tesla Drivers

I drive an Audi, and try my best not be labelled with that 'Audi driver' reputation. In my opinion, there's not much difference between makes of cars, when it comes to courtesy - it's the drivers that are the issue. Male, 25-35, with wife/girlfriend in the car, are the worst.

Its a 2017 C63 Bi Turbo convertible

I am doing a lot of walking these days , the convertible isn't the best chariot when you get back to the car wringing wet and muddy boots.
Still have my T4 but its hard work for it to keep up with my expectations.
Have 4x 4 MAN being converted to a camper , been in the conversion place for 9 months , hope to be reunited with it one day....

That reminded me of this, I saw it in France a few years ago

Bloody robots.

I quite like Elon Musk but he has his moments, can imagine him putting in a single young male BMW setting.

I never understood all this nonsense regarding "if you drive this car you must be a dick". It's always an expensive car too. I do not own a Tesla.

There was a study done in Germany that had people wait at a zebra crossing or similar and saw if various types of car would stop to let them cross.
There was a strong correlation between the more expensive cars and exhibiting the more selfish behaviour (not letting them cross).

They suggested that if you are poorer then there is more incentive for you to help others in society, you are more likely to require help from society yourself so you need that social capital.
Rich people are much more focused on not losing what they have, and tend to think more selfishly and defensively, even in letting people cross the road. The effect has been shown elsewhere to be more pronounced in people who had been poorer and then more recently became rich.

I thought this was a thread about a cordless tool? Wasn’t sure what a Tesla was but could picture myself asking a carpenter at work “Can I borrow your Tesla?”

Sounds reasonable, but how does it correlate to what car you drive?

Okay, I'm going to try and break this to you as best I can - nowadays, they have cars that are, wait for it.... ELECTRIC!

Yup, electric cars, of which, Tesla is the market leader!

Still none the wiser, makes of vehicles mean nothing to me. If someone asks me what type of car I’ve got, I say a blue one.
