BT superfast home fibre plans fall behind schedule. Again
Our exchange has just been upgraded to 21CN, which sounds convincing until you learn that it means '21st century', which probably tells you all you need to know. We have aluminium cables locally, too, so no amount of cabinet upgrades is going to help - bugger fibre, I'd be pleased to have copper...

"That and the FIT would pay for the Tesla and the solar panels after only 11 years"
I think you're forgetting the new batteries required for the Tesla after 4-5 years, and I'm not sure the solar panels will charge it up much overnight...
BTW, those who worry about CO2 might give some thought to the amount produced during manufacture. Not to mention the Cadmium involved, which is heavily regulated in the EU. Just as well they're made in China!
