      Bit weird in flesh imo, it’s like a hot hatch that’s been blown up, and as such has lost all it’s charm.

          Amps yeah, sat in one the other day and was underwhelmed with the interior considering all the reviews had raved about it.

              yeah it looks like a blown up golf, odd proportions. I got a Q4 Etron a few months back. It’s crap.

              There are a load of whoppers on YouTube bigging up new ev’s to boost their ratings.

              It’s very easy to get sucked into the shite they spout.

              But it’s all emperor’s new clothes.

              Proper manufacturers still know their onions.

              And when you get in a decent motor you can tell the difference.

              Unless you’re the kind of ‘discerning consumer’ who prefers to go off ‘reviews’ than make your own mind up.

              Don’t believe the hype ✊

              So 6 months ago the media were giving the govt shot for not closing enough to to drive zero emissions.

              Now the govt are evil for not subsidising rising fossil fuel prices.

              Very responsible 🙄

              Have a friend from there. They said MC (not Mad Cyril) gets bouts of weird weather due to its elevation. Dunno how science that is but that’s what she said.

                Currently 103/40 here in Oakland. Brutal heat. Just brutal. We usually get warm weather later in the year, when the day are shorter, so it’s not too bad. This heat this early in the year is very, very unusual.

                Yeah, other places get hotter. But our infrastructure (housing, public transport, all that) is built for a more temperate environment. Walls are thin. No AC. When it gets like this, you can’t go anywhere or do a damn thing.

                EDIT moving to Scotland immediately. Midges > 100 degree June weather

                  jonattonyeah It was even warm down here in SD today. Not as warm as where you are, but warmer than normal. I turned on my AC for a couple hours to cool my apartment down. Normally I can just go with windows open until mid-July at least.

                      You’re still in SD! Thought you had ideas of moving. All things considered, SD is a fantastic place to live. Get your fries out of my burrito, ’though 🙂

                          jonattonyeah Yep! No idea where else I’d go at the moment. My family lives elsewhere, and I am happy to just visit them there.

                          Agree about the fries in the burrito, but I’m not giving up carne asada fries.
