if you had asked me a couple of years ago if I would everLooks like a decent car at £48k
Heh I am on the same boat. Was considering the Ioniq for the wife but 50k does seem a lot. Maybe the smaller battery one? We will see.if you had asked me a couple of years ago if I would ever
a) spend 50K on a car
b) buy an American car
The answer would have been Noooooo to both. And yet here we are
yet despite that 50K for a Hyundai still seems like a step I am not ready for
Give me some time.
If other manufacturers follow Teslas business model including customer PDI there will be more than enough work to keep them busy. Indefinitely.....Dealers are also going to have to work out how to survive in a world of minimal servicing and increasing online sales.
So dealer networks having to rely on making a living out of manufacturer warranty repairs.If other manufacturers follow Teslas business model including customer PDI there will be more than enough work to keep them busy. Indefinitely.
You’ve been lucky. My BMW Mini cost me thousands in fixing ICE related issues. Head gasket went after around 6-7 years, clutch went after 9 years, two exhausts replaced during a 10 year period, engine coolant leak that required various trips to the dealer within the first 5 years, paying for the work each trip and the issue not being fixed (Love that BMW 3 year warranty... ). Won’t be missing all that nonsense!ICE are more than just petrol engine, in fact I can't remember having any repairs done to an engine, gearbox or exhaust in nearly 30 years of driving. I can think of brakes, the odd electrical gremlin, some bodyshop work, a leak from a window seal, a failed light unit.. all things that will happen on an EV just as easily as a ICE. Even servicing has been as cheap as chips in the last 10 years with service packs costing relatively little money so the oil changes haven't cost that much.
Dealerships can also make money on selling approved used cars and selling financial services products. They'll cope I'm sure.

Those service packs are just baked into the overall cost of the car and only benefit the original new car owner for the first few years. The dealership is still making plenty of money out of those routine services, even if you don't see it. Dealership margins are tiny as it is and so they can't afford to lose a penny anywhere in the food chain. Have you seen how much they charge for a litre of oil? They will be bricking themselves at the thought of transitioning to an EV world.ICE are more than just petrol engine, in fact I can't remember having any repairs done to an engine, gearbox or exhaust in nearly 30 years of driving.

I had an E61 and had to actively manage a trello board in order to keep track of all the issues. The car was 15 years old when I sold it, but I reckon 80% of it must have been less than 3 years old.My BMW Mini cost me thousands in fixing ICE related issues.

Almost none of it. I did what I could myself, if not, a friendly local garage for general car repairs or a BMW independent for the more complicated systems.How much of that was at a main dealer?
Haha, yea I know what you mean. I do have a little bit of FOMO as I feel they will keep updating the cars with newer features and changes to the car.if you had asked me a couple of years ago if I would ever
