Dealer Demo cars in Europe and UK

[VL3X]

Is it my imagination or can I not see the bonnet strip anymore?

Too hard to tell from that angle on the Seneca Emira. I expect we'll see more footage posted later today once they're out of the trailers.

Those yellow calipers on DV are hot.

Well the revolution is over! Return to the left side you noble folks. Or revolt against the high energy prices and stay on the right.

Here in CA, a revolution around EVs will start soon. First, we are told that from 2035 we can only buy EVs when considering new cars. And today our transmission system operator asks that we don't charge our EVs to prevent the grid from collapsing. Go figure

To be fair, it’s not 2035 yet. CA has 13 years to upgrade the grid, and they already require every new residential development up to 3 stories to install solar, with a commercial mandate expected to start 2023. Each new project is taking pressure off the grid, and working toward a system of micro-grids.

maybe 96% ?

maybe 96% ?

I suspect the final editions will still be classed as not 100% complete as a caveat for bits dropping off 😄

Is it just me or does the Seneca blue car sit a little higher than DV?

Is the DV tour and Seneca Sport? Do we know?

Some clarity in these pictures too of the number plate plinth and the (country-specific) plate holder.

Distributed solar will not cut it. We import a huge amount of energy from Nevada, Arizona and the floating offshore wind projects being discussed have 10y development after being awarded. The situation will get much worse before it gets better.

Nuclear will need a resurgence if EV's are going to work. Only way. Good or bad there won't be a choice, IMO.

Indeed. There is support for delaying the decommissioning of the Diablo nuclear plant here in CA.

Small nuclear reactors will be where its at. Safe small reactors hopefully....
Rolls Royce are spending a lot on R&D here and it makes sense
