    I thought it was going to be an ad for a van :-)

    Can you claim the vat back?

    Maybe I should have called it a "television advertisement" to avoid confusion ;)

    Very nice. It's a very cool piece of kit in the metal aswell.

    Wait, so can it tow a horsebox or not?

    You can get a top of the range Tesla Model S for less, and it beats the i8 in other important aspects as well.

    Indeed. The Tesla is a 7 seat MPV! How desirable :p

    It can be but it doesn't have to be. The last two seats are optional and only for small children.

    I know, only messin' ;)

    I really like the Teslas S, never see them here, but there were plenty on the road when I was in the Netherlands a few times in recent months. You'd see one every 5 minutes on the main motorways.

    And the start of a revolution at that, with superb performance and a game changing range. And that was even before the spectacular specs of the model you linked to.

    The bias in that article is hilarious, if I had that kind of money, give me the I8 every time! the I8 has a 23 mile range on electric only power yes, it would actually have a further range than the Tesla in total though, with a full tank of fuel. One looks like a super / hyper car and has a bmw badge on the front also...
