Thanks to @Telegraph for publishing my letter last week - correcting the record for Matthew Lynn after his column yesterday said “sales of EVs have stalled”

2. THE TOTAL COST DIFFERENCE WAS £1.47 and refunded immediately
3. In 3 months, total cost £100 vs £300 on std tariff

.@elonmusk Our members love to drive their @tesla cars around the incredible routes in the UK but getting 20+ cars all to plot an identical route is a faff, it would be incredible to be able to share a full route from say Google Maps to the car. Could you make that happen please?
