Any EV would struggle to match you on a journey like that. Lee's couldn't look at it, because it has a relatively short range and very poor fuel economy - it's not built to be a long distance tourer. A long-range Tesla would be the best bet, but even there, if you were prepared to pee in a layby and not rest at all, it would lose.

Incoming from Morag in 5,4,3,2,1.😂

[@martinbrookes1372]

Its like waiting for the photo shoots of MPs having their homes fitted with heat pumps . It seems like a long wait so far .

[@jamesfletcher-c2s]

Does anyone else remember back when ICE stood for In Car Entertainment (CD/Radio head units etc) rather than Internal Combustion Engine. Each time I hear or read ICE used in the latter I scream Noooooooooo inside! 🤣

[@Athoughtfulcitizen]

I am still upset the government is forcing automobiles on us when horses are so much better.

[@luckyguy600]

No S - - t?

[@alanjm1234]

When cars started to become popular the government didn't force anything on anyone. People bought cars because they were more fit for purpose than horses. People are not buying EVs for that reason.

[@1simonreed]

4.7mm tread, need to keep an eye on it 😂. FFS Do they know you could do another 2 years on that tyre

[@15bit62]

I would think that cancelling someone's order and pushing them into an EV is quite close to "Bait and Switch" selling, which is illegal. Irrespective of whether you are an EV fan or not, this is not an acceptable selling practice.

[@Ifitwerks]

No but a blind eye will be turned along with all the others and there are lots, funny how if it fits a narrative it gets exempted.

[@kadmow]

- "sadly unable to deliver until ..... never - over subscribed, very popular". - "oh would you like a new car sooner, we might be able to help you sir." hmm... unrelated, ha ha ha...

[@lawreence13]

This is government led, based on Net Zero targets . Look at the plans to financially punish heating firms if they don't reach installing heat pump ex-changer targets. The enforced selling of EV's is also raising the vehicle insurance market doubling the premiums to compensate for EV coverage

[@andrewdent696]

Sorry Lee, but the GTS (estate) is nicer looking.

[@paulsriotroom]

I will never buy electric, long live big fucking V8 engines.

[@BoringOldXboxGamer]

Car salespeople get commission. It's their job.

[@philscarriage73]

The Teslas have the heater problems also and about £2000 to replace

[@rowifi]

I was so excited to buy my new Boxster in 2001, and even more excited when I got rid of it in 2007. Absolutely unbelievable list of never ending faults.. Two, or was it perhaps 3 Rear main oil seals, wheel bearing, roof not closing properly ( plus the never correctly folding rear window). Door handle fell off, radio had a fault. Roof material chaffing and wearing. the optional extra thing between the headrests rattled.. flew off once when accelerating...

[@joelpierce3940]

If people want electric, ride the train, or bus. I am keeping my C7 ZO6, and my other ICE cars.

[@fishtigua]

Lee, as I said to you on FB, these new 911's are just too wide for Britain. My favourite is the 997.2 Targa.

[@jontibloom6125]

Recent EV motor show in China where BYD disabled a lot of their cars , owned by people who'd turned up complaining about quality issues ....... Seems like a very good way to control the masses

[@stephengolds9679]

Glad I cancelled my Ioniq 5, just taken delivery of a Golf R 20 years, happy days

[@richardgatenby7560]

I have been told the dealers have to sell three EV for each ICE cars they sell, otherwise they have to pay a penalty.

[@wizzyno1566]

Thats just not true. 22% this year.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Dealers are pushing electric cars because vehicle makers that fail to achieve the ZEV mandate sales targets will be subject to fines, with a system of proposed flexibilities and credits to support those that sell a low volume of EVs. If a company misses the target, it will be made to pay the Government £15,000 for every car that doesn't comply.

[@beastieboy3926]

many cars will go round corners fast if the driver has the bottle. I have left many so called performance Porsches for dead in something that on paper doesn`t stack up but it`s 80% driver and 20% car.

[@ianharley1726]

Those entightled to motorbility are being given EVs. The dealers make more commission on an EV than an ICE in this scheme.

[@DwaynePipes]

Nobody "gives" Motability customers EVs. They choose a vehicle from a list. That list is heavily skewed in favour of ICE vehicles. 900+ models available of which 209 are BEV. It's really not hard to check! 🤔

[@wearetheremnants1615]

​​@@DwaynePipeslol motability the true sign of a collapsed society

[@DwaynePipes]

@@wearetheremnants1615 I thought it was more a sign of a benevolent society.

*Yes that's right everything you said. They are being given them yes. They don't pay a penny for them themselves. Username DwaynePipes is friendly with DrMoragKerr & that's why he's trollling you👀*

[@ToyCars2019]

​@@DwaynePipes*Yes they do. They don't pay a penny for their free Evee's. You are friendly with DrMoragKerr & you should stop trolling Lees videos. Who do you work for?*

The government says its all about choice.... there won't be any!

[@flashtheoriginal]

£529 for a service? Not on your nelly, pal

[@MeMe-zg7gx]

Looking on Google that's seems like he going rate. A 2017- 911. A 2 year service is £600 Inc VAT. Buy a Porsche you pay the rip-off prices

[@colinofay7237]

That feels reasonable to me, I paid $550 for my recent service and it isnr a high end manufacturer like porshe
