To be honest I am an old petrol head. I’ve worked on cars for 40+ years. I definitely wouldn’t miss diesel engines, they are just dirty and smelly. I don’t think the 2030 target will happen as the grid can’t handle the amount of electricity needed. America sells a gallon of fuel at the same price as we pay for a litre, they won’t follow. I do occasionally work on a Tesla, they have really got their act together. Fully charged in 15mins and only servicing is filling the washer bottle, brake pads and steering joists. Brakes hardly wear as the motor brakes the car very efficiently and creates energy. I did have a chuckle with the Tesla salesman, the interior is marketed as vegan leather, I said, “ you mean vinyl”. No Sir, it’s vegan leather! That’s got to be the best marketing ploy I’ve heard.
