Well, what a position?
After a long time lurking on here and also looking at Tesla's used vehicles, I decided to go and have a test drive.
The car, 100D, was, as expected, a dream to drive and I was very impressed with the quality of build and the operation of 'Auto Pilot' was better than expected. The lane change was unimaginable
.
The quandary however, is that the PCP payments for a new 75D or the finance for a 14 plate 85 are roughly the same.
A new car would be exceptional, however I do begrudge the VED to the government of £310 a year (call me a tight a**e), but for an EV it should be exempt VED (IMHO).
Do I go used or new?
