It’s not though. He was talking about the diffuser and saying it was not functional, but it obviously is and doesn’t understand the air flow is extremely important to EVs. He was just blowing out his arse.

Harry says in video "its a diffusor of sorts, well its not actually a diffusor..." kneels down "actually they have thought of an airflow". Thats a guy checking himself. Nothing else.

Did you see that bit, as you seem to ignore it? I think his delivery style is this typical old brit rambling with smoothing over corners everywhere. Just cultural thing, nothing else.

I doubt its reasonable to assume he has no clue about the general fact that aero is key to EVs. He has experience running EVs and I it is a valid comment he brings on weight and battery efficiency being poor on what is a brand new car.

His advice is for people buying this with own money. He says for company car buyer - go ahead, for personal money - wait couple of years. I dont think this is some controversial advice to call him an arse for it. Sounds just personal attack.

Youd know all this if you watched the video.

Watched the video and lived in England. I knew several people of that mindset. I base his views and presentation on my personal experience.
