    I prefer your bus avatar, MollysMum. Always brings a smile to my face whilst the new VW camper, and the old ones, leave me cold - too much exposure?

    Like most new products it will be expensive when first sold then will get cheaper over time. 

    Look great and 0 - 60 in 5 seconds, and a range of 373 miles  I wonder how accurate that is, especially the '3'

    Unless those fin shaped things on the roof are solar panels its look like EHU will be here a little longer?

    You'll be surprised at the driving range of some of these new motors. Quite impressive.

    My grandad had neither, in fact he told me that when he was a youth no family in his village had a car apart from the rich family up the road. Amazing to listen to his account of the developments and inventions that took place during just his life time. From horses being the primary mode of transportation to man on the moon. He was alive at the onset of 'home' computers, heaven knows what he would have made of the iPhone.

    I'm not surprised, I would expect and accept a statement saying 370 or even 350 - 400, I just wonder about a statement saying such an exact number as 373 and the accuracy of the 3 (units) in 373. Would I get that? Is that a maximum?

    He too was a miner, told me stories about pit ponies below ground and draught horses above, horse drawn farm implements, brewery drays, and even horse drawn carriages before the bus and charabanc were widely used by the 'common' people. Steam power too, he said was used in static form. on road and rail but petrol cars were only owned by the fewer richer folk. Whole housing estates too were built without the provision and infrastructure  for privately owned cars. Maybe the speed of 'progression' we have witnessed in the last two generations makes us a little more foresighted.
