Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla

Nearest repair center is 2 hours away

Workers are desperate for a union if anything they're the good guys too

Yeah, too many people look at a truck and say to themselves: I think that'd do to take the kid to football practice and myself to the office!
They're just not making trucks for working anymore, and I personally am pissed!
I suppose I really should think about getting a small/medium sized van.... just irks me a bit. I guess growing up the only tradies using a van were painters, plasterers and glaziers. And folk with real jobs had trucks....

No one wants to drive a swasticar.

Quick Elon, sue every EU citizen for not buying your car!

Yeah I know what your saying, I'm thinking the last decent pickup truck was a Hilux around twenty years ago. I've never had one but I've had mates who did and who really reckoned em. I've driven one on a farm I worked on, it was old and not road legal but it was an amazing farm motor. But yeah, the new ones are too wide imo. Like you, I fuckin hate it when I'm trying to get back from work and it's school run, all the parents picking up their kids in pristine, huge trucks that they don't even know how to drive!
But yeah, if you just want functionality I'd say grit your teeth and get a transit. An swb transit will get anywhere in a city, plus you can put a workshop in back. You might wanna tail lift being a mason, I dunno. But lithium leisure batteries are getting crazy cheap at the mo, put a 500w solar panel on roof and regulator charging lithium battery and you'll run a 2kw inverter no prob. You'd prob get all the bits for under £500 and then it's just a bit of wiring. I have a similar setup myself, except I live in it

To be fair, he has been a cunt for way longer than a year.

As usual, in the end the workers will pay and the owner(s) will walk away slightly less incredibly wealthy.

It's so cute!

Uuuuuuugh...... fuuuuuuuck. Guess I'll have to eh?

Lol mate look I'm thinking you gotta go Hilux or transit. Yeah you can't get everywhere on a transit especially if it's muddy, but you can have a workshop in there. Like I say, throw some solar panels on the roof, a decent battery, inverter, you can have 2k of 240v easily. Also when it's raining you can sit in it all have a cuppa. I know they are fuckin bland vehicles, but it is what you make it. 4wd transit might make you feel better about it? But I've only ever seen a couple

I'm feeling like buying a decommissioned ambulance would be about the same as getting a used transit, with all the electrics installed already, including batteries, and only need to do the inverter and panels. Almost no faffing about with installing storage, maybe just a flam vault and a lockbox for the really expensive stuff. Almost all of them have 1-3 seats already in the back, so seating for the crew is sorted. Most good condition ones I've seen are £5k at 110k-170k miles.
