Well Tesla have offered me a whopping £8500 under my settlement figure, that's that idea out of the window ;)

I assume charge points on the cars are weather sealed so that you don’t have to worry about charging in the rain? Just submitted a trade in value request for my current car so we’ll see what that brings up. Phoned Tesla Manchester yesterday to find out whether they can settle my current PCP...

Thanks very much. I've not looked into the different chargers yet, I've only seen the Tesla one, but having something with a fixed cable to prevent cable theft would be great.

Useful info, thanks. Haha, that'd be me too ;)

Thanks, yeah I appreciate that you wouldn't do this just trying to get my head around the 'conversion' from the fossil fuel way of thinking ;) That's something I'd have to look in to should I decide that the M3 is for me, home chargers. I also need to find out whether Tesla would take my...

So that would mean you could have got a theoretical range of 359 miles? (75000W battery capacity/210 Wh/mile)

Cool thanks. I think I'm starting to get my head around it. In Fuel terms the M3 has a 'tank' of 75kWh therefore if charging at 7.5kW it would take 10 hours to completely charge the battery from 0, and if charging at a theoretical 75kW it would complete a full 100% charge in an hour...

That's great thanks, makes more sense now :) I've been trying to think of it like a car, for example I know that my current car takes approx 73 litres to fill it. I was thinking if the Model 3 has say a battery capacity/full charge of 200kW and you charged at 100kW/h then it would take 2 hours...

Arrggghhh I'm so confused lol.

Thanks. Ahh yes, all the different things you have to consider ;)

Thanks, very informative. So for non Tesla chargers DC (CCS) is the one you want ideally? On a side note can you 'haggle' when buying Teslas or is the price and APR fixed?

Thanks, just had a quick look and does appear there are several in my area. I assumed the KW/h was the charge ‘speed’ but that’s the cost is it? I’ve no idea what your last two paragraphs mean lol.

I have yet another question ;) Can you use non Tesla Superchargers and if so is there a difference in price and charge time? How do you locate them? If I google map supercharger it just appears to show me the tesla ones.

Cool thanks. You’ll all be glad to hear I don’t have any more questions,....... for now ;)

Thanks. Sounds like I’d have to change my driving style as I’m one of those that starts ‘coasting’ quite early when approaching red lights etc, mostly so I don’t always have to a complete stop but I guess it dies save on brake wear too. If the regen is that ‘aggressive’ does it trigger the...
