So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

P3 = brilliant euro design mixed with Chinese components of questionable longevity overlain with poor electronics = pass

poor electronics

Ive heard the UI is very clunky

Diesel - its possible to put out a small fire with diesel if the diesel can completely smother the fire.

EV car carrying 7x20 L containers of diesel?. Safe.....

The earlier two were merely inane; this one is inane, but also encourages dangerous behaviour.
