I don’t think it can ever be bad for consumers to have two innovation behemoths slugging it out to bring new or improved products to market. As for leadership, electric cars are here to stay. Elon and Tim like Steve will have their day and leave the stage. The play is much longer than this...
Later rather than sooner. The plug incompatibility (5 pin US vs 7 pin for European Teslas) will mean adaptors needed and no supercharging , Kw limits through adaptors. And then there's the radio bands being different, maps and data potentially not working and the general hassle of having an...
I think it's clear that this is very much up in the air. Both you and Tesla can cancel and refund the (very small) £100/€100 queue fee if the truck you bought into doesn't make it over to Europe. So at least nobody will lose out financially. Would something much later, smaller and softer...
I posted this in another thread but this disclaimer doesn't look promising for Europe: "*All configurations are US specification only. Global specifications will be developed at a later date based on demand."
I'm slightly losing faith that we'll get the US version as publicised over here. I went back on to the Cybertruck UK web page yesterday and saw a disclaimer at the bottom I had never noticed before:
"*All configurations are US specification only. Global specifications will be developed at a...
Build one for the whole world with the steering wheel in the middle seat.
I think we’ll get it, but we’ll just have to wait. I also have some small hope that a post - Brexit free trade agreement with the USA will make it easier for us to get it directly rather than under the umbrella of the EU...
It’ll probably be like those small shampoo and deodorant bottles you buy at the airport. The small ones cost just the same as the full size ones and they’re disappointing in every way
Tesla will solve the regulatory difficulties but we might have to wait a year or two. By then there might well be a smaller CT that's more Euro friendly anyway
I'm in England too.
If only it were as easy as the exchange rate + vat, but with the costs of homologation/type approval, shipping, RHD adaptation and whatever the car tax regime is at the time we're going to wind up in £ probably a little more than the $ figure is. On top of that, we don't...
