Tesla Roadster

Be warned if you take a Tesla – or any electric car – on a first date this Valentine’s. By all means wow the object of your affections with a battery-powered car if you live in London or a city with a regular network of charging points, but if you live in the sticks you’ll risk a flat battery. And chat-up lines had better be sparkling as you’ll hear every syllable in glorious, squeamish detail thanks to silent electric propulsion. TP
