More tricks than Ryanair, and a rubbish radio...

The Tesla misses out so many things taken granted even in an unpretentious hatchback, so it ends up like Ryanair, the so-called extras bumping up the 'come on' headline price astronomically. Not even a spare wheel, despite all that space ! No rear wiper, either.

It's also arrogantly and stupidly American; they think you should be eternally grateful that the UK model has the steering wheel on the right. Yes, it has a massive Home Cinema screen as a stupid distraction, but there's no digital radio, not even Long Wave. A proper DAB+/FM/MW/LW radio comes as standard even on a Ford Focus but with a Tesla you get only FM/MW with just a handful of stations and no Test Match Special or Radio 4 when you drive off the ferry. Yes, you can have DAB, for a mere £2000, yes TWO GRAND !

And then after splurging out a fortune for a DAB radio, it's still missing LW and doesn't even work properly because the Californians haven't realised that DAB needs an external aerial...
