Hybrid / electric vehicles

been testing hybrids/leccy since we first started seeing the toyota pious back in the early noughties,you know,back before we got ANY fooking guidance on em apart from theyre exempt from emissions with no real grief.having said that i agree that you can poke teslas up your arse.have only seen 2,both fooked about from factory settings by the owners in terms of controls/functions,both owners unavailable to contact and both with dodgy key fobs.without a joey who was way better clued up than me on smartphones/apps etc i sincerely doubt i would be ABLE to test one myself.and yeah both took twice as long as normal with the ever present fear of fooking summat purely by jacking it up or summat equally basic.one failed on headlight aims that were caused by a software fault that required it going to a specialist.2 weeks later its back,another full test,bollox bollox bollox!the other with tyres(which we never saw again for retest cos we are robbing bastards and his mate does em much cheaper.he came in a month later with one of his cheap new tyres which turned out to be pi$$poor second hand ones blown out.oh so thats why theyre cheaper is it?)so as you can see you earn nowt,it costs you twice as much in time and grief to begin with so why would ANYONE want em?ok so if you do em regular its gotta get easier but even so......

I've done quite a few Tesla's, just don't be afraid to play with the cinema screen in the middle of the dash.
But I will agree, they are crap.

With the exception of Tesla models and there fancy tablet ,other EV manufacturers are no frills and straight forward to test ,nothing for anyone to not test them
