Surprised they didnt also work out that the P is for petrol, making it a hybrid petrol diesel car.

I got a sheepish question from my wife's brother in law the other day
"so... does it have an accelerator and brake?"
followed quickly by
"I mean i guess.. or.. is it buttons?"

Brilliant, then you can tell him the steering wheel is just for show and it really has a tiller...

Last year at the American Car Day, I was in the passenger seat of Meloccom's Tesla and the guy in the drivers seat said "I want to hear what it sounds like when you start it". Its electric. It is silent. "What is that hum" . . . . It was the air conditioner compressor running
With the 40+ weather we've been having in Adelaide of late my aircon compressor is louder than a petrol engine!

The thermostatic fans on the condenser unit need to ramp up speed and thus Cubic feet per minute over the coils to strip off heat. It is more or less a function of the constant flow of pressurized coolant thru the system and the quantity of air that's forced over the condenser that determines the amount of cold air you feel in the cabin and thus the rate of cooldown. When your parked or in slow moving traffic the condenser doesn't have the ram force fed airflow of the momentum of the car so its compensates by boosting with the electrostatic fans. Almost as soon as you accumulate a bit of speed the aircon should drop back to a whisper.

While stopped at a set of lights at Edgecliff in Sydney a van ran into the back of me, I asked what was he thinking. The car is completed Blacked Out, chrome, letters and numbers He said "I did not know what it was so I was just trying to get close enough to see" I lost the car for two weeks getting it repaired. I see him once a week in his van driving around and I sigh

Gudday Jude,
Its true!
"The world is full of em and you've just been exposed to another one of em......."
I keep wondering how the human race has managed to get this far......

My mother took her P85D to Bunnings and she has the number plates "BATTERY" and this guy approached her and asked if she has a battery business. She's was like no it's an electric car. He's like what really? An electric car? I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. We always thought we would get a comment like that with those plates.
