Hi everyone,
So, should I buy a Tesla?
Unfortunately the money tree in my garden isn’t producing, so spending quite the sum of my hard earned cash needs severe justification.
I am looking at P85D, probably 2015 model, which are around £40k here in the UK.
I have read a few threads relating poor reliability, including battery & charging gates. From what I’ve read, the “gates” issue derives from Tesla through updates. I don’t understand why they would want to do this? Why would anyone buy a performance car with a decent range, knowing it will be taken away??
I currently have a 2008 BMW e92 335d with 155k miles on the clock. Since buying it some 8 years ago with 20k miles, it has never let me down and pulls like a train to 160mph with no lag in acceleration.
Can these problems I’ve described be solved with a remap? To think of it, can a Tesla be remapped??
What common failures should I expect and most importantly, budget for?
I would greatly appreciate a brutally honest opinion, which will give me an idea of what to expect if I buy a P85D Tesla.
Thanks guys and apologies if I’ve waffled on a bit
