Hi all
I'm not much of an expert on cars in general or EVs. I've been a fan of Tesla for some years, driven in friends' model Ss and test drove myself, but concluded I wouldn't buy one for a combination of reasons. I then put down an M3 deposit 18 months ago in the knowledge it was refundable.
I currently drive a Saab estate in pretty poor condition so definitely thinking about replacing in the next year or sooner.
I am 6'5" and back problems, driving position matters to me.
I have no option to charge overnight at home.
I only typically drive 6-7k a year - I don't drive at all for work. I have 2 kids and our main drives are family road trips/holidays.
A ~£50-60k car would be a significant investment for me, definitely possible but don't want to feel like I'm throwing money away.
So I sat in an M3 for the first time today, and between a) the smaller space, b) the likelihood of 7-12 months longer wait, c) the suggestion that first models will then be limited choice and no financing available (via Tesla), I am thinking I may want to look at a second hand MS instead, or abandon the whole idea and get a comfortable ICE upgrade for the next couple of years.
Any words of wisdom...?
Thanks!
