Peace out and culture adventure ahead

[Tesla2.0]

My Wife and I will be in Burford next week, Rented a house in Stow on the Wold. Then off to Provence the following week. The Pics are getting me charged up. Who knows I might even get a sniff of a Lucid AGT when We get back.

It was only 1 day tour in the Cotswold for me. It is so peaceful on the countryside. I figure I may comeback in the future just to rent a car to drive around England. We passed Burton-on-the-water and witness locals celebrating Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It was quite memorable.

11 days have passed, I just check and woke up my Lucid to see if she auto OTA updated for me. I couldn’t tell from this end, but I’m pretty impressed she only lost 5% SOC in 11 days.

I re-charged your car last night after I drove it……

My wife and I always stop by the cotswolds for about a week each year when we are visiting relatives in the UK. We tried a month once but my wife said that was good practice for being dead.
However we do love the area to visit often. Better than visiting relatives.

Everything is slow… even that famous Cotswold Arms Pub, took 50 minutes to bring out dish. A small souvenir shop store has post office service, when I bought post card and stamp to mail back home, she told me she doesn’t have much mails to be picked up, I better off just drop mail at next town. I couldn’t help laughing. It feels like 18th century pace here.

Since you’re in the Cotswold you should stop by Clarkson’s farm and ask him to give you a a ride in the Lamborghini tractor.

On the way back to Paris today. I saw a Shell station, £2.455/liter = $9.84/gallon. It may keep going up as sanction against Russia continues…

2 weeks in UK and France, I have yet seen a single non-commercial pick up truck. That just tell you this continent cannot afford gas hogs at $9+/gallon.

I would love to see them make an all-electric version of something like that. The e-tron models they've brought to the States thus far have been ugly SUVs, for the most part.
