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.

A new Chinese-built electric bus has joined the Transport Canberra fleet as part of a 12-month trial that will assist…

@antipodean that's the one.

Electric bike which looks good:

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.

looks like something i drew when i was 5 learning to draw and tracing shapes was about as good as i could get

[Machpants]

It's pretty fucking cool tho, you'll certainly catch everyone's attention

[antipodean]

@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.

[NTA]

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

Watched some of the Formula E

Yeah nah

Motor racing needs noise. Hi pitched whistling isn't going to do it

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.

That Tesla truck looks like a joke.

I thought it was a joke when I saw it.
But it has been growing on me, and has some pretty good stats.
So I put a deposit down on one, 50/50 if I will actually go ahead and build one, but nice to have the option.
