EV general discussion

Pfft. Ya sound like a tree-hugging, sheep-shagging vegan. :P

I'm not ashamed to admit I do it purely for the financial benefits :cry:
:D Yep, cheap fuel, salary sacrifice, sub 4 second 0-60mph...... While ever my wife is with us, the carbon footprint of our house will be above average! Now turn that bloody heating off, just shut the windows and put a jumper on!....
 
Tbh some people were trying to pretend they were saving the planet at first. Obviously when that turned out to be a load of cobblers they had to then admit it was all about saving money really and **** the planet...
:p
 
Well, my mission to test drive a Micra EV failed :(

I tried twice to get parked at the main stealer but there was no space, their advice was "just park on the double yellows in front".
Take it as a sign to go and test drive the far better-looking R5 instead. :D

That's the one thing wrong with the nearest Nissan Dealership to us, no parking slots but it's the same for every other deallership on that retail park really. There was probably some customer parking spaces in the plans when built but since then they have filled them with cars they can't sell.
 
Mrs G doesn't like the current R5 grotty grey/yellow seats
They've changed them to a light blue instead of yellow in the newer Iconic+

You'll soon get used to the stalk for changing drive modes. If my wife can manage it, anyone can!!!

My Omoda has this too. Nothing says intuitive design like coasting in neutral towards a junction with a dirty windscreen.

I can provide visual clues if my insinuation isn't clear :km: :cry:
 
Ermm. So you use the phone?
Nope. Well the answer is yes but not really.
My driver's display has wireless AA but I don't use it unless I have passengers in the car and they want to use caraoke...lol.
The annoying thing with caraoke is that you can't use it with the nav (the lyrics will be displayed instead of the nav...major oversight imo).
So I'll only use AA on my driver's display to navigate if my passengers want to use the main screen to keep themselves occupied, else I use the main display nav predominantly otherwise.

Well, save money first. Saving the planet is a beneficial byproduct of the former :P
