What brand/car did your Tesla replace?

[Russinating]

Kia Sportage. Not similar at all!

 

[Mr H]

Mercedes R231 SL 3.5 V6. Don’t miss the fuel consumption.

 

[Gatsojon]

BMW M4 Competition Pack. Loved it for Nearly 3 years then it started to get a bit fragile and I lost confidence in it. So once I didn’t love it, the running costs started to grate and an alternative was needed.

no regrets!

 

[stonecoldrmw]

VW Passat CC. 2011.

 

[Hatchie]

Merc c350e, ran it for 4 years , but would you believe not was well built as the m3 ( back seat would squeek every time you went over a bump) was also starting to die with multiple sensor failure dispute low mileage, no regrets, and loving being ice free.

Currently have a Peugeot 3008 on lease, was going to go for the 3008 hybrid but WLTP delays plus covid delayed that so looked again, SIL and her husband have a M3P so looked at that and I was hooked, also helped that due to BIK rates its going to work out cheaper than what I’m paying now dor the Peugeot

 

[Chanser]

A 2002 Skoda Fabia 1.4 mpi, then had no car for 3 years. Quite a big jump.

I've just handed back a Mazda 6 estate. A really nice car, well spec'd, good quality (among the Japanese and South Korean contenders), probably not up to German quality, but then it doesn't come with a German price tag. The 2.2 L diesel is torquey and also nice and lively.

Currently I'm missing it like mad, as my M3LR is late and I've got a Hyundai Tucson to fill the gap. It is bland, boring and gutless.

The BIK was creeping up on the Mazda 6 and to have another one now would also push the BIK up further. A big part of the M3 decision was the very very low BIK.

 

[MOBB]

Mercedes CLS63 AMG

5.5L V8 Biturbo

Model 3 performance is slightly cheaper to run

model 3 would destroy the AMG up to 80mph

AMG would destroy the model 3 over 80mph

 

[Asterix187]

I got my Model S as a work horse and to keep my 911 carrera S cab as a weekend car. Never really drove the 911 after it arrived so sold it a while ago.

 

[BushtrimmmerJr]

You can imagine my disappointment when I had to drive home after my Model 3 test drive!

Haha, we were in a similar boat for our first test drive in a MS. We had a Ford Ka at the time.

 

[JupiterMan]

Currently have no car whilst awaiting delivery....!

Previous car up until April was a Peugeot 3008suv GT.

One of those diesel drinkers.... I remember when I bought it 3 years ago thinking this might be my last ever fossil car... looking forward to the electric revolution.....

 

[bitmanEV]

SWMBO replaced her 2005 Toyota Rav4 in Dec 2019

 

[rEV gadget]

Renault Zoe ZE40.

 

[MoleyRUFC]

Alfa Romeo Giulia to a M3 Performance. Will really miss the handling of the Alfa but reading reports the Tesla isn’t miles behind on that front....

I’ve kept the 4C however for some noise

 

[Yanquetino]

A 2012 Nissan LEAF. We really liked that car, but… our Model 3 puts it to shame.

 

[Medved_77]

A 1998 Jaguar xj8, 3.2litre petrol V8, around 18 mpg. The TM3 is quite a contrast

 

[MrBadger]

Greenpower kit car built and designed (not chassis, drivetrain or suspension) by secondary school pupils. Range; as far as you can get it in 90 minutes... still going strong at 28.8 miles in 90 minute limit. 2 x 36ah batteries giving approx 860Wh - less than 30Wh/mile. If it had the energy capacity of a Tesla LR battery, that would be around 2350 miles.

In its initial form, it lapped Goodwood in 7'28 - aim this year was 6'30 but those plans put on hold. Not sure if we will still be going strong at 90 minutes though, but we will have some aerodynamic, drivetrain, cooling and electronic enhancements to help.

 

[5Wheeler]

Nissan Leaf 2013 with 125kmi. Replaced it with a used 2014 Tesla P85D with 75kmi. The Leaf became the hand me down car to my new teen driver, which is good as it's relatively maintenance-free, not too fast, top speed limited, and range limited so less chance for the teenager to get in trouble.

 

[totoro722]

Ford Fusion Energi PHEV. Platinum trim with all the safety features, and very nice to drive. Sold it to a relative because I was frustrated that I could not drive in EV mode as much as I wanted to, which turned out to be all of the time.
