Wee video from Bjorn, clearing up a few issues from a previous video, but going through a lot of Chinese cars.

Interesting video, I think this guy is one of the best car reviewers out there.

I agree his knowledge and database are outstanding, he obviously rates Tesla's but in no way does he let that impact his reviews of other manufacturers, unlike some of the UK motoring press

It was a video of his, from the arctic circle, that was key to our discovering how to camp in the MG4.

Well whatever you think of Tesla as brand there cars are great and they have made the EV market what it is today

Had this conversation numerous times their cars might not be to everyone's liking but their tech and efficiency is amongst the best out there

When you think about the 2008 Tesla roadster being able (on paper to do 200 miles) that was outstanding. The first gen leaf in 2010 was only about 80 miles.

Although the Tesla was just a lotus Elise

They are still the benchmark (for now)

And think, most of the dislike of Teslas is now down to Musk being a bit of a Berk.
Which is a bit silly.

Where "bit of a Berk" is shorthand for Bond film level of evil megalomaniac

If they'd actually produced the compact "Model 2" it would have been the car to suit us, but the Y and 3 are just too big for our needs.

Damn shame.

Musk is nothing compared to China and people are happy to buy MGs
