    The article didn’t mention cost, but I can guarantee you could get something significantly less fugly for much less.

      I work for 2 or 3 people who own Bentleys. They are not fuck you rich, they are just wealthy enough to own a nice house and one or two nice cars. I’m always puzzled why they picked a Bentley. They are expensive and not nice to drive. Nice to sit in, but they don’t have chauffeurs. Is it just to appear wealthy, like a status symbol? One of them owns a very old Bentley too, and you can barley drive it, because there is zero leg room in the front, like you are hugging that big ass steering wheel. He hates driving it, no one ever aits in the back, he paid like 60k for it, and it conatantly breaks. It’s so weird.

        You work for individuals, and not companies? And those individuals own Bentley’s? They are fuck you rich. You’re just not conscious enough to realize it.

        also yes, it’s a status symbol. i doubt they give anything of a fuck about bentleys beyond that.

    Your chauffer can now get out and plug into the DC fast charger, before refilling the ice bucket.

      I already have someone to drive me around in an expensive EV. £2 each way for the bus.

      Although a new bus route seems to have opened up along my bike ride to work and its the first diesel bus I have seen in a few years, disgusting thing to cycle past.

    What’s their slogan? “Behind the Times”? “Last in Line”? “Grab Life by the Hind Legs?” “Trailing the Way”? “Followers Forever”?
