wker in the 330e who thinks he is Lewis Hamilton driving up peoples arses then swerving from lane to lane (without indicating) on a busy motorway. His bonnet was kissing my tail for a few miles and, once I was able to pull over, he was up the rear of the next car. When the motorway opened up from 2-3 lanes (inside a crawling lane) he booted it up the inside narrowly missing a tipper van who had been indicating and I suspect didnt see him as he manoeuvred and then cut across 2 lanes to the outside.

By the time we got to the next off ramp (yip back in lane 1) where we were both taking the exit he was 1 car ahead. tt
over the next few years we will see a real uptick in the proportion of aholes in EVs i think. This whole "check this out!!!" nature of the acceleration seems to really attach the worst kind of pricks. hahahaha your planet killing dinosaur machine is st compared to my TESLA look i can do emails on the move and i can out-accelerate ANYTHING without even watching the road!!!

People who think buying an electric car saves the planet. I suggest you research battery production and it's by products.

Electric cars are like those bags you put in the toilet cistern that save water. "Save water, save money, save the planet". My arse (literally) every trip to the log cabin needs two or more flushes. Thus using more water. Defeating the whole object; completely.

I agree, sort of....

They require a significant amount of energy to produce, especially the batteries.

However, they significantly reduce the gases that those who live in densely populated areas breath in, like cities and big towns.

Its not solving 'climate crisis or whatever', but it will help those who live in densely packed areas all over the globe to breathe cleaner air.

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who has an EV "to save the planet". Most people seem to buy them because they're easy to get along with and quiet/smooth.

Transformer / Decepticon stickers or badges on a car or van with one exception...


Transporters; Campers in disguise.

Which is actually quite funny and obviously tongue in cheek.

It really is only a matter of time as I've already come across two. First one was at the A19/Wolviston Interchange roundabout and said pillock was sat in the lane taking him up the A19 and I was sat in the lane that takes me straight across. It's not the kind of place you do the traffic light grand prix at but the pillock in the Tesla P90 obviously wanted to put me in my place by setting off at warp speed but also veering in to the lane that I would have been in if I had be daft enough to accelerate at anything approaching a brisk pace.

The second was last week and happened to be a white Model 3 (the second one I've seen and I've seen this particular bell end before). Coming on to the A689 at the A1/A689 interchange you occasionally get some halfwit bumbling along (and it's always at or around 50) in the second lane until the merge point rather than just pulling into lane one (knob nomination right there). In this instance he went flying right up the arse of the knob nominee and sat there and, as the turn right lane appears he slips into that and boots it hard. I'm not entirely certain what his intention was but the light show of the hazards flashing away as he stomped on the brakes while turning sharply right immediately made me wonder if he tried to overtake in that lane and found out that it wasn't quite long enough bit of tarmac.

There is a bloke around the corner with a Tesla P something in fridge white (fittingly) and not only does it not fit on his driveway by over a foot, but he’s already bumped it.

Local Facebook group. Lots of recent reports of car ‘break ins’. Some of them have admitted they had left valuables visible in the car overnight, but literally all of them have said they had left the car unlocked. Are people fking aholes or what?

Two or more flushes? That is one hell of a clear out.cloud9

Yeah he would have been much more sensible to have paid hundreds of pounds extra to get it in grey.
