We are also lucky enough to have a Tesla Model S, which will be parked in front of the Sheldonian Theatre on Broad Street on Wednesday from 16.30, so please do come earlier to have a look at this amazing car.

Yes - it was good to catch up with some of the EV regulars including My Llewellyn. Seeing a Model S in the UK was also a real treat. Amazing to see it take off up the street with zero noise too (not even inverter whine).

The talk was interesting but didn't cover much new ground if you've seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uegOUmgKB4E

Some of the questions were disappointing and there was a queue of people that didn't get a chance to ask (I was trapped up in the gods so couldn't get him started on Hydrogen, which is always amusing).

Worth the trip though.

The event was filmed, too, so hopefully that will turn up online.
