A parable for our times

A Prius and a Tesla take on an SUV and the SUV wins.

Thus balance is restored.

  1. The funniest bit is that they refer to the Tuareg as being a "big" car in Denmark.
    How long did the thick cloud of smugness hang in the air after it was released by the ecomotors?

  2. What a surprise - a reinforced three-tonne cube drives over two small cars and they break. And the take-home lesson? Keep on running cars off a finite resource the sources of which are in the hands of the nastiest regimes on Earth, instead of using the energy raining down on our heads for free.

  3. Thanks, I'll stick to Larry the Land Rover. 0-60... eventually.
    On the other hand, it has no problems with little speedbumps like the Prius and can be loaded with the shovel. Can't use solar energy for cars here in Manchester, the last time that ball of light appeared in the sky the RAF was scrambled to investigate but at least I carry the liferaft in case the weather improves.
    TTFN :)
