They are a bespoke company, no two Aston Martins are alike.

But their response is quite relevant as they aren't in a position to put their eggs in one basket, especially when the eggs are rotten.

I can appreciate the positives that come with a current spec EV, however I can't look past the glaring deficiencies in function, production and economics. I want to see the demise of the fossil fuel industry more than anyone on here but as it stands, there isn't a viable alternative that is at the very least, like for like but better in every aspect.
