    Ford Ranger EV?

    On another forum I'm on, someone spotted a Ford Ranger being driven in the UK, that didn't appear to have tail pipe or front air intake grille. It was all new car camouflaged! There is talk of Ranger EV in 2022 (Next-Gen Ford Ranger Goes Electric • Professional Pickup...

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    I have loved full size pickups, ever since I lived in the US, for a short spell. They are just not really an option in the UK due to the gas prices and for me taxes as a company car driver. Once the F150 ev is available, I would definitely consider it.

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    Actually it wasn't flag waving, I have a Nissan and a Toyota. Just like to use my spending deservedly. I really like the Mustang too, not available yet, so going to lease until the market and range options really opens up in the next 12 to 18 momths. I hope to see how Nissan's new offering...

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    I have the same issue. For me the criteria is as much as where the vehicle is made as the specification.

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    Importing vehicles is technically possible, however aside from undertaking the import inspection requirements, there is the fundamental issue of support. Import an ICE car, then most competent mechanics can fix it, if he/she can get the spare parts. ICE cars are by and large mechanical...

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    I will concede that as my mobile is mounted in the middle (I don't have Android play) that unlocking with my thumb is somewhat impossible.

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    In your opinion ? I have a theory.... When you drive a left handed vehicle you steer with your left hand and play with your shiny tesla screen with your right. Since most people are right handed you are thus using your weakest hand to steer when taking one hand off the wheel. Therefore...

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    Anything is possible, but some things are unlikely, certainly in the short term. The pickup market in the US is over 3 million pa, Europe around 200,000. I have no idea for Australia but suspect not a huge market even though they love their ute’s. The smart will figure out the maths, or...

    fuel batteries in an electric vehicle - unless it’s a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair I know some of us are getting on in years, but I don't think it will be classified as a mobility scooter! ??

    Will the Cybertruck be allowed to drive in Europe?

    I believe the weight of the battery is excluded. From our government website Unladen weight The unladen weight of any vehicle is the weight of the vehicle when it’s not carrying any passengers, goods or other items. It includes the body and all parts normally used with the vehicle or trailer...

    CyberTruck illegal in EU?

    We don’t have to worry, seeing as they haven’t made any yet! All our fears are groundless. The CT will be made to pass all relevant regulations especially in the EU. Elon was just kidding that he wouldn’t sell his North American CT in EU in it’s current form.? This was interesting in regard...

    TSLA DOWN -39.45 Pre-market

    ...VATs are annoying but simple and don't apply to this conversation. They're basically a capital gains tax on every transfer. -Crissa Incorrect. VAT has absolutely nothing to do with capital gain. It’s a sales tax paid by individuals on purchases. Companies claim it back. If I (and...

    Tesla has its own crash lab in Fremont

    I hope they look into this as improvements in the US look well over due. You never know they might go the whole hog and make it NCAP compliant. https://insideevs.com/news/438927/bent-tesla-seat-reveals-us-safety-issue/
