    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I hear the free supercharging has ended now, a few weeks back the dealership called and offered me free servicing if I bought one that day, he called the next day and said I had to buy before end of January as they were stopping the free supercharging permanently. I don't make impulse buys on a...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I was aware of some of the reliability issues yes and had looked into them, I also specifically asked about warranty to guard against them. Ultimately what put me off the Disco is the same thing that put me off the Jaguar F Pace, the interior quality was average, not nice and I did expect more...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I am devastated for you. What a patient person you are. I hope you manage to get them to repair it. Maybe photographs are in order before it goes in next time. We really shouldn't have to be doing things like that, such a shame.

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    Thank you all for your replies, you are all so helpful and I'm incredibly grateful. What a great community, one I will definitely join in the future. For now, however I've decided to wait on the Tesla for a couple of reasons, I'm more sure than ever that it's my ultimate dream car and if all...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    @WannabeOwner How much was it to get the car wrapped by the way? That is something I'd looked at too, curious about chrome deletion but also a full wrap for the protection.

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    Don't they offer you a loaner while you're waiting for these issues to be fixed? Especially with the light issue, I'd have expected it. You're swaying me back towards Tesla now haha. I spent the day pricing up Discovery Sports and am sitting here 50/50 between the two. A discovery is still a...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    What a reply, first off, so helpful, thank you indeed! I think we're fairly like minded, you're picking out a lot of the details I would certainly be noticing as criticism and also seem to appreciate the same features that made me put a Tesla as my most desirable car in the first place. A year...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I was researching that car this morning, too fancy for me but I was surprised to read about all the self driving as I didn't realise that existed in any other cars right now.

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I did see that tweet! They implemented it quickly then, impressive. Pleased to hear you're enjoying yours so much, I spent the last day looking at the Land Rover SUVs again just to consider them as an option, they're a lot cheaper but not electric obviously. A lot of pros and cons to consider...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    What you say about technofest there, really hit home with me, I read your entire website earlier and noticed that theme. Thing is, that's why I'm mainly going for Tesla, I love the tech stuff and use all the convenience features. It's why I started looking at Tesla over Land Rover Discovery and...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    That it interesting and good to know regarding the performance updates - I hadn't come across that in all my reading. Sorry to hear about your door, it seems that the service centre inspections leave a lot to be desired, I've seen this theme echoed time and again in my research.

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I did give a referral code when I went to accept the inital P90 that I can't have now, they came back it was invalid so I'll be sure to get another one. Your battery advice sounds spot on to be honest, I can charge at work and do 12 hour shifts so to be honest it shouldn't be an issue. For the...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    Would you mind explaining what you mean by orphaned and uncorking? Sorry, I'm still early days here and don't understand a lot of terms you used. How do you tell which are BTX8, are you going by the 0-60 times on the Tesla pages you linked? Also, how do you tell what the drive unit is, or is...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    I agree, I think it would be sufficient. There's a better APR deal on the larger batteries right now which is why they originally sourced me a new inventory 90. I then became used to the idea. But you can get 1.8% on a new order just now through Black Horse. The discounts are there numbers...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    Just to add, I do like to know I'm getting good value when I make a purchase and getting around £11,000 off for a dealership car with around 2k miles on the clock did seem like great value as I felt I was effectively getting a free upgrade to the 90D battery. Taking the new 75D doesn't offer...

    Pre Purchase Battery Question - 75 vs 90

    Evening all. Would love some input on a buying decision. I was set on a Model S current inventory which has the spec I like in a 90D battery with just over 2000 miles on it. However the finance company has decided they won't finance anything older than 3 months. Now I was all set to get a nice...
