Tesla - Lotus?

Question

Why has there been no UK media coverage of the Tesla, www.tesla.com, being built by Lotus, Norfolk; and why is it not for sale in UK where petrol is much more expensive than California
first UK report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/inbusiness/inbusiness.shtml

Why did "top gear" race a jet dragster when there is a professional British team with an electric car that should do 350-400 mph http://www.speedace.info/bluebird_electric_3.htm

Answer 1

I answered this one once already unless i forgot to press submit.
Its a tax thing . the government takes more money from petrol than electricity so would prefer to keep it quiet its like the cigarettes issue
