Only Me!!@Bazunitec·
What is the point? I and many others find driving a pleasure. In over 40 years behind the wheel, the only two accidents I have had have been in the past 5 years and when someone else has hit me; one from behind and one in the side... Leave this stuff to robot hoovers and lawnmowers!!

@TechOperator Many advantages as you point out but the big downer for me is they are not great for long road trips, I live in the UK and enjoy long drives across Europe I can drive about 450 miles without stopping in my petrol Mercedes.

“I spent 1 year with a Tesla and realized one thing: I was 100% confident in my misinformed opinions. I used to be an EV skeptic. I was wrong. Here are the 5 things that changed my mind: Charging - I thought gas stations were better. I was wrong. Waking up every morning to a “full tank” is the single best benefit of ownership. No more stops in the rain or snow. It’s a total game-changer. One-Pedal Driving - I didn't think braking could be improved. Wrong again. Regenerative braking is so intuitive that I almost never touch the physical brake pedal. Going back to a two-pedal internal combustion engine feels clunky now. Full Self-Driving (FSD) - I said I’d never let a computer drive for me. Now? I’m convinced it drives better than I do. The improvements this year have been mind-blowing. This tech is going to provide massive mobility for the elderly and disabled. The Screen vs. Buttons - I used to tell friends, "I like knobs and buttons." I laugh at that now. Thinking I need physical buttons is like missing the BlackBerry keyboard. The touch interface is intuitive, clean, and constantly improving. Performance - I knew it would be fast, but it’s absurd. It replaced a high-end German sports car, and the Tesla handles and accelerates significantly better while still being a practical family vehicle. Ignorance was bliss because it made me feel smart, but day-to-day ownership of the Model Y proved me wrong. If you're on the fence, the experience is likely much different from what you imagine.”

Just got this from a friend reflecting on the 1-year anniversary with their Tesla. “Everything people think before owning something tends to be, at best, misinformed, and typically just wrong. Charging is what really gets me. Non-Tesla or even non-EV owners have no idea of the quality-of-life impact of charging versus filling up a car with a toxic chemical in the rain, snow, and wind. His name is Ranger. The car's name is Killeen. It may be the dirtiest Tesla in America.”

@danwootton One very suspect poll, show me the evidence regarding candidates standing down. I'm standing in Norwich there's been no deflections here.

Reform UK is in crisis ahead of the May election deadline. Influencers are now being cold called and asked to stand as party candidates. I've obtained one of those approaches. Many former nominees have stood down to join Restore Britain as Nigel Farage's party tanks in new polls.

Every measure you list involves spending wealth. You don’t list one measure that creates wealth. And if you don’t create wealth you will soon run out of it to spend, which is already happening (hence all your extra taxes and borrowing).

Did @BBCr4today really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

88% of sex offenders in the UK are White British. Why do reform only tweet about the brown ones?
