And this is why I waited for the Germans on this one.

While shopping around for my last car, I looked at a couple of Tesla's. Don't get me wrong. They are good cars overall and offer an immense amount of innovation, but the build quality was to put it lightly.....piss poor.

Cheap materials, poor quality control and based upon opinions of a close friend, piss poor handling. Sure they go fast in a straight line, but anyone can do this.

BMW, Mercedes, VAG are now on the bandwagon and it's just a matter of time before we see them dominating the roads.

For now I'm sticking to my diesel, but there's no doubt, in 5 years, I'll be driving a 5phev or perhaps even a full ev.
