I would have thought that it would be one of the bolder switches out there... especially considering I only had it for 7 months before selling it!
It was a combination thing... I do 30,000 miles a year, with the Q8 doing 32mpg and fuel at 1.50p/L (which is what it was when I sold it) moving to an electric car was going to save me best part of £4,000 a year. I was going to go for the Audi Etron (as you say for build quality) but the range on them is embarrassing compared to the price tag. also my mileage allowance from work still pays 45p/mile even though it is an electric. Meaning every mile I drive I am pocketing (hopefully) about 40p (minus a few costs obviously!)
I haven't done the savings calculation on fuel at 1.98/L which is what it is at now round Shropshire...
Needless to say it wasn't an easy decision to make which is probably why I have gone into so much detail explaining my reasons (trying to convince myself that it was the right move
)I bought a M3LR second hand as a car to get around in till the MYLR came and have actually been suitably impressed with the whole experience to be honest... And I am one of those people who is a bit OCD when it comes to rattles and cabin noise!!
That is horrendous. I wouldn't expect more than a few hundred pounds. Cannot 100% remember what my old salary sacrifice insurance excess was but I think it £250 - and I think that was fixed across the scheme rather than specific for a Tesla. Maybe some are wising up that Teslas on average are costing more to repair.

I am with you in the extreme switches department. Our ML63 AMG left us yesterday to be replaced with a MY next week.... we were averaging about 15mpg on super unleaded. Still have an ICE for weekends (Cayman GTS 4.0) but suspect that will get used less and less once the MY appears.

Don't think there's any way for them to do that. And why would they care? They already got as much as they asked for it.

My guess is that by 30/06 there will be 30 Model Y listings on autotrader selling for over RRP.
Its in Tesla's T&C's not to resell with X months I believe.

2 x Model Y LR (2022 Q2 & 2023 Q3)
From the T&Cs that everyone agrees to when placing an order: "We may unilaterally cancel any order that we believe has been made with a view toward resale of the Vehicle..." and "we also reserve the right to refuse any future orders for other vehicles you may place with us."
They frown on buying to flip and have been known to curtail future purchases by people who do, albeit the stories I have seen were USA based buyers.
I'm heading over on Thursday, I'll see if I can get some pics for you.Also if anyone in Bluewater sees a MSM/induction MY with a plate ending LFA, that will be ours hopefully next week
Happy to take further requests as well - (I'll share photos privately)
Just come back in here to wish you a happy delivery day on Thursday!
I’m happy for you and its well deserved after the long wait for your car!
Ps. Fully expecting some pictures once you’ve taken delivery

2022.11.x does indeed look like a transitional update on the way to 2022.16.1.2 which appears to be the latest available.

Hey all, I just managed to grab this ex-demo from the tesla website. Does anyone know how long to have the trade-in offer to come in from when I upload the pictures?
Sucks that the price already reflects the latest price increase... cheeky

I sincerly hope they don't do the same to you as they did to me.
From my initial quote when I ordered back in March to two weeks ago when my car was arriving it was a whole £10k less than the original quote which is outrageous to say the least, hence I will sell it privately
Thank you that would be brilliant. Hope your collection day goes well
