The reviewer provides an enthusiastic first drive of the Tesla Model S Plaid, focusing heavily on its astonishing acceleration and drag strip performa... morence. The "Yoke" steering wheel and minimalist interior are highlighted as unique, albeit potentially divisive, features. The car's ability to achieve sub-9.3-second quarter-mile times (9.33s recorded by the reviewer, 9.26s by Brooks) is deemed "phenomenal" for a practical family car, especially considering its weight and cost compared to hypercars like the Rimac Nevera.

My Ferrari SF90 Stradale Spec Assetto Fiorano Test Drive and Thoughts
The reviewer tests the Ferrari SF90 Stradale with the Assetto Fiorano package to decide if it's the right specification for his upcoming order. H... moree highlights the SF90's impressive 1,000hp hybrid powertrain and smooth technology integration, making it a compelling 'daily supercar'.

The Surprising Costs of an EV! My Porsche Taycan Experience So Far
The reviewer provides a candid look at the real-world costs and challenges of owning a Porsche Taycan Turbo S after 2,000 miles, particularly focusing... more on charging experiences in London. While acknowledging the car's enjoyable driving dynamics, quietness, and suitability for long distances, the primary critique centers on the unreliability and scarcity of public charging infrastructure. The reviewer highlights frustrating instances of out-of-service chargers, long queues, and payment issues, contrasting this with smoother experiences on longer journeys. A significant finding is that the cost per mile for charging at public rapid chargers (around 30 pence per mile) can be comparable to, or even higher than, running a petrol car like a Porsche Cayman GT4 (28-30 pence per mile), especially when compared to the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso (38-42 pence per mile). The reviewer concludes that the 'EV is cheaper' narrative is only truly valid if home charging is available, emphasizing that unreliability is a bigger issue than cost for urban use. The upcoming installation of a home charger at 'The Shmuseum' is anticipated to significantly improve usability. less
New Colour for My Porsche 718 Cayman GT4!
The reviewer details the process of transforming their Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 with a new Inozetek Midnight Purple wrap, complemented by Aurum Gold acc... moreents on the rear wing risers and badges.

The GR Yaris is noted as a fun, but not permanent, addition. less
My First EV Nurburgring Lap! New Polestar 2 Test Drive
The reviewer embarks on their first-ever Nürburgring lap in an electric vehicle, specifically the Polestar 2 in its top-spec Long Range Dual Motor con... morefiguration. Initial impressions highlight the car's smooth, silent, and effortless electric drive, contrasting sharply with combustion engines. On the Nordschleife, the Polestar 2 demonstrates surprising capability, maintaining pace with performance cars like the Porsche GT3 and BMW M cars, despite noticeable body roll and the inherent weight of an EV. The reviewer praises its decent acceleration (408 hp, 660 Nm) and the effectiveness of its AWD system, though traction control can intervene frequently. The interior is described as simple, clean, and smart, with Google built-in and a user-friendly interface. However, the reviewer notes the seating position is a bit high and the car's safety systems, particularly collision avoidance and seatbelt tightening, can be overly intrusive on track.

The reviewer concludes that the Polestar 2 is an interesting and attractive competitor in its segment, offering a compelling alternative to other EVs. less

Key strengths noted are its accessible power delivery, advanced technology integration, and remarkably compliant ride for such a potent machine, making it surprisingly manageable on public roads. The reviewer also touches on the car's dramatic styling, advanced interior with a large digital display and touch controls, and its capability on track, evidenced by a record lap time at Fiorano despite challenging wet conditions. Minor criticisms include a V8 sound that doesn't match a V12's drama and a slightly laggy infotainment system, but these are considered minor points against its overall impressive package and value proposition compared to hypercars. less
The Pains of Living with an EV! My Worst Experience Yet
The reviewer details a highly frustrating experience attempting to charge his Porsche Taycan in the UK, highlighting significant issues with the publi... morec charging infrastructure. Despite acknowledging the rapid growth of charging points, the reality on the ground presented a grim picture: broken or unactivated chargers, queues, and repeated charging errors that prevented the car from reaching an adequate charge level. The reviewer emphasizes that while the Taycan itself is a superb vehicle to drive, offering immense power and a smooth, quiet experience, the practicalities of EV ownership without home charging are currently a major hurdle. The video serves as a stark warning about the unreliability and inconvenience of public EV charging, suggesting that while the infrastructure is improving, it is not yet sufficient for seamless long-distance travel or for those without home charging solutions, particularly in the UK. less

The reviewer also demonstrates the practical benefits of the Juice Booster 2 for EV charging, emphasizing its durability and versatility. However, the reviewer finds the RS e-tron GT to be a very similar proposition to the Taycan, describing the switch as a 'sideways move' rather than a clear upgrade. While appreciating the car's speed and Audi-specific character, minor criticisms include the styling of the wheels and the limited rear headroom due to the sloping roofline. Ultimately, the RS e-tron GT is praised as a fast, entertaining, and proper car, offering a distinct Audi driving experience. less
