Anyway, drifting off subject matter so a last one.
But if i bought an EV, which I wont be, and thought i was saving the planet, I'd just be a hypocrite as I'd know I am not.
have good one chaps, and long live the internal combustion engine.
I think @NevMan got mistaken......his mate actually had been to Aldi's a few times in his Tesla lolhe must have had some poor Audis then lol
he must have had some poor Audis then lol
Ah, that was it
He has had a couple A3’s and A4’s So nothing earth shattering
There's nothing wrong with A4's chap, some are just better than others and not all are the same under the bodywork either....Ah, that was it

The one I took out although low in miles seemed quite well built, not a rattle or a squeek insideA mate of mine got a Model 3 around Xmas, said the quality is pretty good. And best car he has ever had. He has had a few Audis
To be perfectly truthfull I have had more trouble with Audi's than any other car, I have had 2 x new A3 which were very troublesome (squeeks/rattles/windscreen wipers packed in, noisy rear shocks/radiator leaks due to wrong bracket (updated one fitted) one A3 just wouldnt start when hot/steering wheel out of true from new, a TTS that needed a new mechatronic unit at 5000 miles and a new gearbox at 7500miles, a TTRS that went through 3 x Exhaust temperature sensors a V8 R8 with 3000 miles that needed two new cats due to oil consumption.he must have had some poor Audis then lol
They will still be totally out dated by electric cars of the future....................and I never thought I would live to say that, I am a petrol head through and through, just look at todays offerings which are in the electric cars ealy days of development,
Time will tell, like the horse and car was replaced by the steam engine, and then the ICE came along, and now electric motors and batteries, the only bit that still remains from the start is the wheel
ICE and EV are both cars though just with different "engines" nowt like horse vs car imho. A better comparison is petrol vs diesel.
TBH when my 'Car' mag drops through the door I skip anything and everything EV related and more so with MCN (Motorcycle News) I have never read anything about an EV motorcycle as much as it's pushed down my throat.

But just looking at the TT Zero, (Electric motorcycles) not more than a few years ago they couldnt complete a lap of the TT, but now, 3 years ago the TT Zero lap record is 121 mph, that means it's averaged 121mph around the circuit (hope i'm not teaching you to suck eggs here) it will only do one lap of the 37.73 mile circuit but still it's huge progress.
I really do not want an electric motorcycle full stop, I dont want an electric car either, but we are going to be forced in that direction within 10 years

Compare an RS3 to a Tesla 3 Performance, just on facts, leave the emotions and male ego out of it
It's quicker
It's quieter
It's £500 a year less to tax
It costs around £5 per 100 miles in fuel v around £20 for RS3
There is no routine servicing, non.
PS: And they will tell you order one now and you can have it March, none of this (my own experience) BW 16 --- BW8 --- BW49 that now 5 weeks ago and I have heard FA
EV's will get quicker, more powerfull, more economical, longer range, faster charging and maybe cheaper in the next 5 years.
ICE's will get tougher emissions, higher road tax, higher fuel tax and banned from Cities in the next 5 years
It doesnt mean I want one though
I think there would need to be a lot of pre flight planning at the moment, but as range increases towards 4-500 miles that should dissapear as well, a mate in the IOM reckons EV would be 100% perfect over there.lol ... yet these EV embracers try to make out they are not a compromise / no range anxiety / no charger anxiety / no contemplating do I have enough range to put on the heater in winter to keep warm & sacrifice range or need to plan routes with lengthy stops and 'enjoy' a coffee instead of cracking on with the journey pmsl

Lots of fast chargers will do 10-80% in less than 30 minutes now, not every time as it harms the batteries long term.
We can bury our heads in the sand, wear blinkers etc and look at our RS3 with rose tinted glasses, but unfortuantely EV's are coming
As long as you're sure, I don't want to be sending out any wrong signals that they areLol I think we get the jist mate…….. EV ain’t for ye

I think that too, wishing he had a milk float instead of the nice new 5 pot
i don’t see any milk floats with carbon covers on their batteries
Pmsl ... it even says V8 on the front doesn’t it

the only decent looking imo are the Taycan and RS e-tron GT. I still wouldn’t buy one
