Misleading headline

You can still get a $35,000 Tesla, and it now has a better battery and more equipment

In theory you can buy one. Actually receiving the car might not be so straightforward.

It’s s very mixed up article all round. Took me a couple of reads to get it.

The headline is pretty accurate tbh.

The $35,000 car is finally here and it's good news for customers but not so much for Tesla. Might have been a better headline or something similar.

Aside from Tesla would anyone recommend another brand of Electric car that might be worth purchasing. Looking for anything around the 15-20k mark if possible.

Do you hand your testicles in at the dealership or do you have to go full transition before you get there?

You need to read between the lines on this one.

I've got one for running the kids around and it's a lovely car.

Wow.

What a big man you must be, with your petrol engine.

Wow indeed. Seems like my throwaway witticism REALLY touched a raw nerve there. I apologise if I offended zhou.

Do all electric cars have to be really expensive and look like shit or is it done on purpose?

The electric golf looks like a golf while the jag ipace looks like another jag...

I think you know I'm talking about brand new ones...

Not current models, with a battery put in

The Jag is brand new design from ground up.

How can it be a brand new design if it still looks like the previous model?

Have you seen some of the concept designs? Most of them look like bubbles

Because the designers worked within a set of Jag design principles so it’s consistent?
Probably the same reason why all BMWs look the same regardless of power source.

Tbf *BRAND SPANKING NEW DESIGNS* of electric cars look crap, its as if they've spent 90%of the money on the battery, and if you want one that looks better you have to pay 20 grand more

I think most of the latest ones look pretty normal tbh.

That’s the whole point. An I-Pace looks like a Jag, an i3 has the BMW kidney grills, the new Audi E-Tron looks like an Audi.

Nobody wants a car that looks like a rocket ship. They want one that they can sling the kids and their stuff into and drive away.

A Renault Zoe.

Do you still have to pay a ridiculous amount a month for “battery rental”
