I meant the top of my house with solar collector - but a attachable solar roof for keeping the car cool on a hot day is nice and available in Europe with a higher class Skoda.
And - Who wants to park a car open when every pisser may relieve himself to the plastic- just out of depression not owing a Tesla...

VW are Jugos in Europe - Had a look at any open Porsche, Mercedes or Alfa Romeos dashboard recently?
Take a look and come back then and tell me how the interior looked.
The handbrake positioning (besides the rest looking like from a Indiana Jones movie) and look in the Tesla is retro at best- like in a willis cheep 1948...

The Americans where not amused that they where not allowed to drive a A! (as I do) - the bright side only for them, they never find out what elegance they have missed - the A1 is (for the one who can afford one) the most intelligent, elegant, economic, safe and clever car for urban transport ever build by men. Thought service is ridiculous expensive
That a unsave rude bummer like Hummer was ever allowed on Europe's streets is a miracle - but a small one - bcs only few whackos drive this ugly, crude and (look at the door-hinges like out of Gullivers Travel and the interiors like in a child's plastic dungeon) guzzler.
We can live with that few:-)
