My cousin was working for LFC. He was told to never wear his clothes in public. He was giving this homeless bloke a few bucks every day and had done so for months. One day he was in his LFC kit and he dropped some change in the guys coffee cup. A few steps later he felt something hit the back of his head. The homeless fella was wearing an Everton shirt yelling f**k Liverpool and thrown the change cup at him haha.

Honestly I hate all politics/agendas. Everyone is f**ked - both sides. Buy bitcoin. Eat real food. Get some sun. Swim in the ocean. Up the Sharks.

Love him or hate him you have to get use to him because with his money and power he is only scratching the surface of the influence he will have on future of tech.

I’ll start this by saying I’m far from a car man, I’ve never been impressed by cars and have always chosen them on either cost or reliability - so take my opinion with a pinch of salt. But…

I’ve drove both the Ionic and the Mach E (had one for 6 months), and currently drive a Tesla dual motor Model 3 (all company cars). For me, the Tesla is better in pretty much every department, and by a distance, though I did feel like a cooler cat driving the Mustang.

Not sure what the EV infrastructure is like for you guys, but in the U.K., the Tesla chargers are everywhere, and as a Tesla driver you get a better price on their network, so that makes a massive difference too for whenever I have to charge away from home. I cover a lot of miles each year - so the infrastructure is probably the most important thing to me.

My company car is up for renewal in June, as things stand, there’s no way I’d move away from a Tesla. I’ve test drove a new Polestar that was very nice, but it’s an unknown and I’d have to pay to be on the Tesla network. Tesla is super reliable for me, so can’t imagine choosing anything other than a newer Tesla model.
Chimp, Electric cars have not had the same influence here as elsewhere in the world. The structure here is no where near developed as you describe in the UK. A lot of people like myself don’t see it as the future.

Spot on here - UK relatives come here and are amazed and the lack of infrastructure for charging. Case in point, Jindabyne - there are only two in the one spot at Nuggets crossing. Hence there is always jam of cars waiting to use it. (This was the case early last year - may have changed)
Hybrid sales have jumped in the last 12 months (RAV4) whereas the electric car thing has crashed

I'm not long back from England and the chargers are everywhere there.
