Lol don't get too excited on your test drive or you might have an embarrassing cleaning bill. :lol:

Which model are you looking at?

I've driven one, I think they're great.

If it's too much for your needs why did you waste everyone's time by driving it?

You would have known that before the test drive.

Had no real idea what a Tesla was till last week and it interested me . We are having solar panels and Tesla batterys fitted to the new restaurant and I must be on there email list as a VIP customer so I received a invite from Tesla to a test day at Shimotsuma, Ibaraki track and took up the offer. Its a very nice car and very very different but hard to justify for 50km a week travels we still have the near new "butter box" for local pickups and train station 300 metes away. Hope I answered your stupid question Surge :mrgreen:

That's a good answer. Buy the car.

Seriously pointless around here in Summer as the battery will go flat sitting in traffic between Kamakura and Enoshima. If it wasn't for the fact I use my Legacy to cart my bikes to Nagano/Fujiyoshida for downhill it too would be overkill. 'Round here all you need is a Prius with stupidly big wheels, broken suspension, and riveted on wide body kits

Totally agree with you Adrian. I rarely drove as the train system in Kanto is excellent. A Prius or even a K car is more appropriate... :)

Trains are OK as long as you are not using them on a daily basis :roll: If you are relying on them guaranteed some dude sick of being turned down by his anime girlfriend will "enter the operational area" and make you wait hours. My Legacy is overkill but that's no need to commit acts of self mutilation and buy a K! :wink:
