I have a Tesla and would never exchange it for a Bugatti! Actually maybe to sell on and buy my Tesla back haha.

I can't afford either but I would be looking at the impact on environment and cost of energy over speed and thrust.

I'd only need speed and thrust if I were thinking of leaving the planet.

3 million for a car though

Has it ever given you an electric shock?

hmm wonder how they faired in the cold weather snap, given batteries can't deliver as much power when its icy cold, where oil-fuelled engines do better when the intake air is colder?

Add too, producing those batteries is devastating to the environment, both where the materials are mined and in the assemply plant. Gives the impression of "clean" at point of use but ignores the overall impact in production.

Lack of charger points doesn't help either, wonder how many stranded leccy cars there will be when the anti-diseisil policies kick in along with the new ultra-low emission zones penalising older vehicles.

I think tesla are the way to go if they were more affordable i would definitely have one, the tesla lorries look awesome and apparently when empty will do 0-60 in under 6 seconds!!!

Diesel solidifies at -10c, they still use them in the Antarctic though because we innovated around the problem

Does any one really need an empty wagon doing that? Solution in search of a problem

That's what I was thinking. What are the practicalities of going 0-60 in 6 seconds? Is it an indicator of something else useful? Is it something to do with torque?

My borough is putting charger points all over the place.

This is a silly thread. It's like a schoolboy, "Top Trumps" card game from the 1980s.

"My daddy's car's better than your daddy's because it has a bigger steering wheel".

"My daddy's car is 1 mph faster than you daddy's, so it's better."

Back in the real world, life doesn't work like that.

Tesla lost nearly £500 million in one quarter alone last year. Bugatti will make a profit on the Chiron, unlike the Veyron.

And you cannot say the Tesla has a range of 620 miles, and the Bugatti about 300. Neither does anything like that flat out.

And even if you happen to be the nearest fast charger when your Tesla is running low, it still takes as long to fill it up than to fill the Bugatti about 10 times, even at a busy petrol station.

The Tesla is not even launched yet, so you cannot verify the figures.

And in the real world no one obtains those figures. When it is your car, rather than one that the manufacturer has lent to Jeremy Clarkson, you have some mechanical sympathy for it.

And the top speed is academic. Where can you do those speeds?

I think its just a by product of the torque thats available with electric, they are going to be 20% cheaper to run that conventional lorries and not need servicing until they get to 1,000,000 miles.

Also - I believe you can get electric charge points for your house.....
