Hi there
Been lurking for a while and reading lots on here. I'm in the process of changing job and am becoming Self Employed (IT contracting). I've wanted a Model S for a while but never been able to justify the cost, however I'll be doing a lot of miles in for the foreseeable future and the fuel savings start to add up. Plus I went for a test drive a couple of weeks ago and fell in love
My main question/concern is this... most weeks I'll have do drive 220 miles from near Manchester to Glasgow and back (separate days). I'd convinced myself this was easily doable even in a 75D, given there are superchargers at Teabay and Abingdon service, and I can park at a hotel with destination charging. However... I've read a few posts on here that concern me re availability of superchargers at services, range reduction in winter etc. winter. I don't mind stopping once for 25 mins, but twice would start to get annoying! I'll have the car on charge at night so can pre-heat in the morning, so I'm hoping this would help.
So, I guess my question is... if you have to drive 220 miles twice a week, would you still buy a Model S - and if so would the 75 suffice?
