I’ll probably keep the Y until it dies. Cant see myself buying another new Tesla or even leasing one as things stand. But to be honest the alternatives are not up to much either. ionic 5 looks nice but tech is looking a bit old. Maybe I’ll be tempted by the Macan as need a family motor, but...

Think this is just a tour, to generate some marketing buzz around the brand and for fanbois to get a chance to see what they’re missing out on in the flesh!

Tesla have tons of inventory, they have no dealer network to absorb that, that leaves two options discount (price cuts, lower financing rates) or reduce production. If you all want a cheaper car don’t buy one and wait.

The US is mega expensive these days, but they earn a heap more and are far far wealthier in general, so actually the cars there look even more generously priced. UK incomes are around where the US was in the mid 1980s. The gap keeps gets bigger as incomes in the US are going up, whereas we are...

I had an original SR+ and on sub zero London short driving from 80-20% i was getting 100miles, i switched to a revamped LR. You must be using more like 500wh/m to get 100 in a LFP with heat pump and current weather. Its either broken or your calculating something incorrectly

Part of the problem was dealers got killed paying way too much for Tesla’s during and just after Covid, so won’t touch them anymore. They got hit 10k+ per car in many cases. They hve mot sold that many yet. There are no more Tesla’s hitting the auctions than there used to be BMW 3s etc pre EV...

To introduce functionality that doesn’t work as described is about as Musk like as you can get!!!

At current rates of depreciation that’ll be more than the car is worth!

Y LR, I am aware if the limitations of V2 etc, just never noticed any real difference in charge speeds from preheating and can’t really see any benefit. It never really hits the max, normally anyway, so battery temp does not seem to matter much. The car charges pretty quickly still anyway. Tbh...

I never seem to get the fastest charge speeds at superchargers anyway, well very rare anything close to the max. So not sure what I’m giving up with preheating. If I’ve been driving for a few hours the battery will already be quite warm, even in winter.

If its a software tweak it means the revised model Y won’t just be losing the stalks

I got referral miles for referring myself when I upgraded (and kept the existing ones)

This risk has been dealt with via build quality

This is great, i’ll be able to tell my wife to turn off the lights everytime she unlocks the car and to not park so close to the wall when she gets home

On the positive side the first two Tesla’s lost zero over three and a bit years so the fact that the final one has cratered just brings me back to scratch. And I am really looking forward to my £15k Highland in 2025! Now if I had paid full price for a 18month old 3 with 15k on the clock I would...
