  1. Uhhh...I don't know why you are sighting just VW and Toyota...the same applies to all manufacturers.... Everyone knows Toyota is late in to the EV game...in fact so are all the Japanese manufacturers except for Nissan and Mitsubishi in some convoluted way. For the most part all the Japanese manufacturers were working on EVs a long long time ago...Mitsubishi as early as the 1970s and Toyota had a commercial ready EV RAV4 in the 90s (which got clamped down by big O)...for some reason most of them went the fuel cell route...and now are partnering up with a lot of Chinese companies for a boost in EV tech. Now they are extending that solution to community based mobility solutions (last Tokyo Motorshow Toyota had 3 actual concept cars on display...that was it...everything else was a bunch of robots and hospital on wheels, etc...) and seem to be believing that cars are going to be a niche market. As for Tesla...well...Musk is showman....kind of like Jobs. He makes a splash with all his presentations...over promising without promising and under delivering without actually making it obvious. There are a lot of smart people working behind him but what sells everything at the end is Musk's showmanship and taking the approach to being a tech shop rather than an auto production shop (they R&D more in to tech like AI, batteries, etc...than in to the actual car component of the car itself (which is pretty much borrowed from the others and modified for the most part). Obviously the traditional car manufacturers cannot easily pivot due to their pre-establishment.

  3. @Sugathapala as @matroska says if you can perhaps be a little more specific as to what you need? Are you looking for model specific information? A buying guide? Leads on any 1980's Land Rovers? For the record a 1980's Land Rover isn't a Defender at all ?

  6. This list needs to be updated. I sold the Frederique Constant and Cartier. Added a Speedmaster 311.30.42.30.01.006 aka 'the moonwatch' aka 'sapphire sandwich' Also got a 2000s Datejust 16234 with WG bezel and diamond hour marker dial.

  8. Another I problem I see is when they are need to be fixed they take a long time as Tesla is a small company and not able to build parts faster. I've know cases near where I live a tiny fender bender take 3 months to fix at Tesla certified facility since you can't take it to a regular body shop. In US insurance will give a loaner car only about a month and you will be out of a vehicle when Tesla is in a shop for fixing.
