Electric cars

[percypawpaw]

Not for me, Internal Combustion Engine every day I love my two V8s the noise the attention, sorry but I love my cars as they are, I understand what the future holds but today I will hold on to what I have.

looks like the EV grant has been reduced to £2,500 and only for vehicles under £35,000, be interesting to see how the premier car manufacturers react. as I read, this effectively means the likes of Tesla, Jaguar, Audi, BMW, VW, Ford electric cars have effectuvely gone up £3,000

It’s true, From today the subsidy for EVs is cut to £2500 and nothing for cars over £35000, so no subsidy for any Tesla model.
It was inevitable though wasn’t it?

After umming a lot about going electric I caved last month and went for a half year old BMW X2 diesel.... Turns out they've just brought out a bloody hybrid of it which I'd of gone for but it's £10k more so no thanks for now.

Think this will be my last full petrol/diesel, hoping those Tesla prices come down in a few years time!

Not a bloody crossover FFS.

I love going on the piss during the pandemic and coming home to a nice coal fire.

whilst personally these are not for me I can't help but think this is not a wise move - my ageing FIAT Punto may go up in value at this rate !

think Tesla have started reducing prices to compensate for reduction in the grant.
