about to order Model Y please help re cost

If the press is to be believed, then electricity prices will go up 45% this year and the best around here is 26p/kwh. Whether petrol will surge too may depend on public opinion. We'll all be down to slow charging only when the sun shines and getting the commuting clogs out.

Solar installers will be busy this year

Check if your home fuse needs an upgrade to 100amp and that the tails are the right thickness, if not, then the lead time for fuse and tails could be up to 4 weeks.

Well you say that but, according to a news report the next day,
5 minutes after that video was shot the firebrigade were called to rescue people stuck in a car under that bridge. So someone else gave it a go.
