I bet Gerald Ratner is feeling a wee bit better this morning

can't wait for the documentary movie

They should tell USA to F off....we're not paying a cent.

Im wondering how widespread it is, and what effect it has on MPG.
So much lying and cheating everywhere you look, on this instance if the tighter american regulation means the combustion engine is a step closer to extinction in cars then all the better.
The tesla is such a superior car, needs next to no maintenance, cheap and relatively clean to charge and shifts like a supercar

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Assuming, of course, that you can trust that Tesla aren't massaging figures!

Ofc
You can fully charge your car for nothing in many places and the motor needs servicing every million miles
cant massage 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds though, it either does it or it doesnt.....

You can't massage emission levels or mileage figures if it comes to that!

Rumour has it that Saab are giving their cars 'Swedish massages'
