Peter,  Thanks for the link.  I saw that a while back on TV (the 'Renault' 
channel on FreeSat here in the UK) but it was nice to see it again.

Rather well done and considering Renault made it I thought it quite broad in 
scope and not especially Renault-centric.

I have been reconsidering my intention to buy a Tesla Model S since the EU 
pricing was released a few weeks back.  Despite T's stated intention of not 
making non-US markets pay any more for their cars than US buyers (allowing for 
export costs and local taxes) it stings to see that we will have to pay a 
UK£16k premium on US prices.  The Zoe may fill the gap, for me at least.  
Unfortunately, unlike the Fluence there does not appear to be a cheaper battery 
lease option than £70/month and as I also ride a Vectrix I will not be getting 
much value for money from that £70.  If it were half that monthly cost, for the 
3k miles I'd be likely to do per year, it would be a very simple decision.

In any event, the Zoe is still not in the UK yet - Summer apparently - but I 
will pop into my local Renault dealer for a chat as things are beginning to hot 
up.

It does seem rather a shame that the entire US won't even get a look-in due to 
Renault not having any presence there.  Perhaps the ZE range of EVs will force 
a change there.
