Amazingly Tesla only accounted for 3.3% of those electric sales last month.
⚡️Battery electric the only powertrain to see uptake rise as manufacturers continue to subsidise transition with billions in unsustainable discounting.

This is arguably bad for the car industry, who are shouldering much of the burden of the EV switch. If you aren’t going to offer purchase incentives to buy electric then send a message that the alternative is going to get progressively more expensive.
For goodness sake. Despite big tax rises overall chancellor has done it again. Fuel duty frozen and "temporary" 5p cut kept. This government is supposed to care about climate change. And I'm willing to bet fiscal numbers assume increases into the future. How much longer?.

Jaysus. That poor Mini.
In France, over 600 mm of rain has fallen in the Ardèche Cévennes, causing many rivers to overflow. In Saint-Marcel-lès-Annonay, a vehicle has been swept away by the flooding. 👀.

There it is: the Tesla robotaxi is either a two-seater coupe or a shuttle. Verne (Rimac) came out with a more plausible two-seat cybercab than this, plus gave details of tech (Mobileye Drive) and how they would operate the fleet

Casually resting on charge at a Nissan media event in Cranfield. Sakura kei car EV: 3.4m long, seats four, hits 80mph, has a claimed 112 mile range from a 20kWh battery and costs from the equivalent £12,700 in Japan. Do we want it? (Yes)

Got to feel for McLaren. The day before the big W1 unveil and this prick crashes then uploads the evidence of his idiocy!.

Highest ever monthly UK EV sales in Sept, only second time the total has passed 50,000. Fuelled partly by cheap deals, including for the Tesla Model Y (£299/month personal lease) - SMMT figs

This could turn into the most incredible reason for a vehicle recall yet.

Not if you’re a company car driver! Main reason UK EV sales are growing while other markets are stalling in Europe. Which should play into Polestar’s hands, given company cars are generally more expensive than private.
Polestar boss says UK is 'worst in Europe' for EV incentives and @Keir_Starmer's government should scrap VAT totally on new cars to give the market a boost.

At some point you’ve got to say, c’mon, this isn’t ever happening. He’s always going to pull the ball away. Hunt trying to pretend it might be goer is unedifying.
NEW 👀 .Former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt got in touch saying Musk told him, last year, UK a top candidate for Tesla plant:.‘it is a big loss not to have him [at the summit] because he told me last year he was planning a new car plant in Europe and had not decided where but the UK.

Amazing how this can be both lead news and tell us nothing new (hybrids in some form were always going to be allowed to 2035). Apart from Nissan has a hybrid diesel. I didn’t know that
