It looks like the industry is beginning to get competitive, so a place for any snippets you might find

So VAG have announced two new vehicles recently which look like promising commitments to the market. Tesla were never going to remain unchallenged forever!


The Model S alternative, enter Porsche.

That is one sexy looking car - I may be swayed off my Model S ambitions. But it is only listed as a concept (how many production cars have wheels like that!)



The Model X

Not so sure about this one. The specs sound like they'll give the Model X a run for it's money but the styling leaves me cold!

Not exactly rushing it out are they? Should be on the second model sooner

It might beat the Tesla 3 out though, which might make it the first in its class? (Assuming it's of a similar size)

Discussing some numbers today - it sounds like the £5k grant may disappear during February. Anybody heard anything?
