Also notable that in summer, driving up the (beautiful) Wye Valley and then narrow country roads is more fuel efficient than a motorway variant due to its directness and lower speeds. That's even with fairly frequent slowing into and accelerating out of blind corners (B. driving, not me, obviously)
The lower consumption meant that we could drive out and back the next day without charging-even though the pub/hotel we stayed at had a charging point.

Narrow and Windy country lanes it is then, with a caveat 1/

Optimus has lost its head of program and delayed production since, according to @electrek, "the robot has yet to prove useful in Tesla's factories." Here's their story, plus @CNN's article, "Why Tesla’s Cybertruck has been such a flop."
