Or, wasn't the XM somehow vaguely connected to the DS..

I really like the Tesla-S and could fancy one for work use.

Stick with getting a DS - its much less likely to run out of energy or spontantanously catch fire!

Many thanks for that - very much enjoyed! The XM is the grandchild of the DS. Regards, Matthew T.

You could make an XM ride like a DS quite easily, just fit large spheres with large damper orifaces.

I did try it once with accumulator spheres on one side - fantastic ride - on that side.
