A rave about the Tesla Model S

 Knowing how you love cars, and at the risk of being an unpaid car salesman - I have to go on a rave about the Tesla Model S.  The cause of this enthusiasm - one of the people who plays on Ange's league tennis team has just got one - and it is simply breathtaking stuff.  Consider this: it does 400kms on a charge. This costs about U$D2.20 - i.e a "full tank" for R25 - and that will take you 6 to 8 hours on a normal wall plug.  So while for Pta Durban it is not your thing - as a city car - it is simply unbeatable.  Despite being the size of an Audi S5, it is a seven seater - it has two small, rear facing seats in the back.  And I will spare you the hyperbole - it goes like the absolute STINK.  Check this out (run your mouse over the space below if you can't see the link - it will jump out):

Looks like this outside:

 Looks like this inside (this being the left hand drive version)  Below that is a photo that I asked Ange to take for you in the inside of Nanette's one:

Above are the rear-facing seats, which stow flat for when you don't need them (huge boot Ange says) and which sit behind a conventional five seat cabin that looks like this.

This thing is DEFINITELY the future.  Enjoy the polo my darling; it might be the last internal combustion engine car you buy.
