    Interesting - the Omega is 25kW meaning it is Learner legal here.

    I have no idea what motorbike pricing looks like, but I'm pretty sure $24k for the Alpha is a lot of dosh.

    Considering you could buy a new S1000RR for that, no one is going to pay $24K for a LAMS bike. They're delusional.

    pretty big fan of electric vehicles

    But the words "Electric" "Mustang" and "SUV" should never go together

    I like it. And I don't even care that they've created a Mustang SUV. The design is pretty damn good for what it is. Certainly more character than the repugnant Teslas.

    you'll get no argument from me there

    by the way, keep a look out for the Yutong full electric bus now operating in Canberra.

    Fucking hell the new Tesla "pickup" is a weird looking beast. I question the general practically of the vehicle - more an SUV rather than pickup.

    @NTA Did you see the launch? I thought it was an immense practical joke and they'd bring out the real one. One not drawn by a five year old with just a ruler.

    The funniest bit was the window demonstration. Even the audience, who make Apple fanboys look discerning, went quiet.

    @antipodean I turned off at the point where they fucked the window up - twice - expecting to check in later to see the real truck.

    Yeah nah maybe, for me.

    First one that I have watched. A couple of Kiwis in there is good to add some interest.
    Agree about the noise but I reckon I could adjust.

    It's the future unfortunately. Hybrids I love because they have that stonking acceleration and the great noise of an engine screaming.
