Thanks for a very relevant and detailed response. If you live around Sheffield then you have plenty of hill test opportunities. Your spec is the same as our ideal with the smaller rims. Just one question - is the heater part of the sub-zero weather package ? (which is now only available in the...

The i3 option was if we replaced my wife's A Class not my Disco as a first step into an EV! I have looked at various other options but Tesla has the edge on a number of factors from our viewpoint - particularly when considering the free supercharging.(although there might be a few more...

Quite agree. The seven seater requirement no longer applies as most of the family are now residing down under and our only off road demands are National Trust car parks! Probably the ideal replacement would be to downsize to a Y but that won't be around for some years. With the S one loses the...

The E7 timing varies between regions. We have off peak timings of 0030 to 0730 GMT in Yorkshire which translates into a good deal in summer using electric water heating rather than gas. By 0830 BST most of the morning power demand is over including reheating the hot water cylinder back up to...

Many thanks for the detailed response which makes interesting and stimulating reading. The short road outside our house in North Yorkshire is steep enough to stop FWD/RWD cars climbing in icy conditions without winter tyres. Going down on ice one has to be careful since there is a T junction...

The Leeds depot was awash with mostly new stock with a row of well loaded unregistered Xs facing the public road all with a sales sheet detailing the specification and price for immediate delivery. I guess they would be reasonably keen to sell those to reduce the stock in hand. The one good...

I was thinking of the scene where we have been for a rail trip to London arriving back late to the station car park to find the car is frozen solid with thick ice on all screens and the vehicle is not plugged into a mains supply. With the LR one fires the engine first and presses one button...

Converted! Thanks for presenting the case so concisely. That's another tick in the box!

Many thanks - hadn't thought of that logic but certainly appreciated the braking effect of regen. Presumably with dual motor configuration that would work quite well in icy conditions. We mainly have a 4x4 to cover for the winter when just for short spells driving can be tricky!

Very interesting feedback - have now discovered some feedback on rapid wear rates on real leather covers - so can appreciate your view. I presume the synthetic product stands up better in extreme heat conditions which apply in the Southern States.

Many thanks for the very useful feedback - thought there must be an option. We were told about the option to hold the brake pedal down to achieve the 'hill hugger' mode but now realise the creep option was not on. Is there a hill descent option? We occasionally use this for descending the road...

My wife and I went for test drive of an X this week in Leeds with a surprising end conclusion. We became converted to Tesla after meeting a couple on vacation 2 years ago who were exceptionally positive after using their S for some months around Europe. With that in mind we went for a drive...
