I wish! I'm not sure it'll last long enough for me to swap it :P My next car will probably be VW diesel (told you I'm not a green warrior!) until I can be in a position for a second hand Model 3.

Maybe I only see cars being delivered or moved around for service or demos?

Or is it that, being tracked as they are, any rapid progress will be recorded and might be used in evidence against the driver?

Or perhaps it's a range thing?
I guess it's just that it gives you better milage, and they'll probably be sitting on Autopilot. I don't know the answer, but despite being a huge petrol head I have no desire to speed on public roads. I'd have a Tesla Model S (and park it beside my Bentley) and whilst I'm sure I'll have fun with the acceleration, a top speed test isn't really my thing. So you'd find me in my Tesla in the same lane I imagine.
