    @NTA look at you, all over-compensating and shit

    bet you park it in disabled spots too

    You forgot the stringy singlet. Is that because you want to wear it?

    @Kirwan Robert Scoble. Now there's a name I haven't heard for a while.

    Yes. Took a year off to save his marriage from some pretty bad behaviour on his part. Substance abuse issues too.

    He is an enthusiastic technologist though, so hopefully he’s sorted himself out now.

    Short haul aircraft are candidates for electrification but not sure what the fight profile would be - basically the same weight landing as taking off, which I imagine takes some getting used to.

    " ... seaplane operator Harbour Air, which is based in Vancouver, Canada ... is switching its entire fleet to electricity!"

    @antipodean Good stuff - they told GM to fuck off so I assume the conditions of the Ford deal are significantly more flexible.

    @jegga Induction cooktop on a car? Fucking genius, particularly as you've got the battery power to run it. That is great. i want one even more now.

    Rode in a fully electric, fully autonomous vehicle last week, running outside of the factory. Pretty damn amazing.

    Work gave me a white Prius. My sons, mates and others halfs friends all call me Uber. The utter silence is eerie when the car starts. It's very tempting to rename myself Habib.

    No one is allowed to eat or drink in my car. I can't stress these rules enough.

    Not technically electric I know but it still does about 1000km per tank of petrol. Which I don't even pay for which makes the Scotsman in me pleased beyond belief.

    Tesla Model 3 has dropped here and in NZ.

    Drive away price somewhere just under a BMW 3 Series for the standard model. 0-100 in 5.6s is handy.

    Fully loaded, the performance model is still cheaper than an M3. And 0-100 in 3.4s will take some beating.

    Yes, it was both a fun and disheartening 30mins of selecting options I can’t afford.

    $83,000 for the self driving model.

    Not completely out of reach, but near enough.
