    spot on timing. Just got back from Birmingham having bought a 21 plate long range model 3 with full self driving. Just over 80K miles but it is in really nice condition and I got it for 18,494. High mileage, but as you say it's still got loads left on the warranty as the battery warranty is 8 years and 150K miles. That replaces my Land Rover discovery 4 which we have owned from new. This will be my wife's new daily drive as I have recently had a new lease car from work - Tesla model y RWD. I had the model Y about a month ago and it has convinced me that going full electric for all of our cars is the right thing to do. My son already got himself a 2019 Nissan leaf in Jan, so 3 EVs in our household. I did think we would not cope with a single home charger, but now I do not see this as being an issue. The teslas will only need charging once a week given the miles we both do, and my son is pretty much the same but he can also access free EV charging at his university as well. So no diesel costs moving forward, 760 road tax gone and no 1200 minimum maintenance bill each year from landrover. Happy days, and already planning some long road trips across Europe. You are spot on as well, a brilliant time to buy given the prices make them a real bargain considering the price new. I know EV haters are saying look at the depreciation, and I am. I am looking at it as a great buying opportunity. If you are in a position to buy, time to fill your boots! cheers for posting the video

    Well done Harry, at the time 2 years ago, I couldn't afford an expensive EV, so got the 1st batch off the boat of an MG4 SE (delivered in 2 weeks from order, for 30/09/22), one thing that I can say that in 2 years the tesla network to non-EV drivers has vastly improved, so much so that in 2024 we've managed to do 2 UK holidays one nr FortWilliam (winter), and the other in Wales (last week) only on the Tesla network, on the way up noth west coast I did stop off at my familiy home, but on the way down did just about manage it (2 miles to spare) from Berwick to Harrogate. 👍👍 : we're running the whole house & car Feb to Nov, effectively "free" on Solar, still need an oil boiler in the mid winter through, although costs for heating is now down to 1000 litres / yr (less than £700) for a EPC G house.

    Well done Harry, welcome to the Tesla club! Great value for a great EV. Interestingly I had a Kia E Niro 4+ for 3 years and it was a great car, but I have now bought a new Model 3 RWD and it is a fantastic car. I am sure you will really enjoy it and the sentry mode is an amazing feature and saved me after I returned to a car park and found my front bumper partially pulled off and damaged on the O/S. Sentry mode had captured the whole thing and I was well looked after by my insurance as I had video of the incident.

      We had a built in Fremont M3 performance and now have a refresh model with heat pump and acoustic glass. It does feel better put together, although nothing broke and there weren't rattles in the 2020 car. The thing that makes the most difference day to day is the headlights. The originals were like a couple of candles and massively limited safe driving speed in the dark. The newer model with the matrix headlights are pretty good - still not as bright as my ID3 or as good as the bi-xenon's on a Skoda Superbi previously owned, but it's definitely go for a facelift model, even if it meant going for the standard range. I would miss the performance though - but range wouldn't be an issue and I regularly drive from South England to Glasgow.

    I have a 30Kw/hr Nissan Leaf (plus an ICE car). I'm about to trade them both for a single EV because I noticed that 300mile/450km range EVs had dipped to around £20k.
    300 miles was always the game-changer, and while the LEAF has been amazing* it does need an annoying £5 top-up on some of my common journeys, to get me home.
    I still think I'll go for a Kia Eniro, because of some specific requirements (not least the remaining 4 year warranty on a 3 year old car), but it's interesting to see that the model 3 is a £20K option as well.
    *I can't believe you can now pick up a used Nissan LEAF for less than some new Electric Bicycles.
    As a runabout/shopping 2nd car I don't believe there's better practical value on the market than an old LEAF. Luxury car feel for Electric Bike prices.

I arrived there with 10% left in the battery, only to find that all 8 stalls were out of service. Luckily, there were 2 Ionity chargers just 4 miles away, but it goes to show that Elon is not infallible. My M3 should have told me that they were out of service, but it didn't. I can only think that they were taken out of service on route?

    A police officer spots a Tesla which is driving way too fast. He pulls him over, but when he wants to confront the driver, the wehicle is empty, having driven by itself. Not knowing what to do, the officer tries to detain the Tesla, which defends itself by hitting the poor officer with the driver's door. After getting detained and transported away, as there was no driver present, the car has to face the consequences of its actions alone. Among other things, the Tesla was charged with battery.

    To do both was less than the cost of a new Model Y LR so seemed to make sense.
    I think a few years ago there was a lot of worry about how these EVs would age, I certainly wouldn’t have bought my Leaf at the end of the finance (nor a second hand one), but this generation seems to have kept enough value in them to start the proper second hand market.

    The thing i like as well as the Tesla charging network is the car is getting continuous updates so never gets left behind from a brand new one at least technically! I just took my Zoe in for its third service with 16300 miles in the clock and they charged a fixed fee of £280! Which i thought was a rip off for changing the cabin filter. Nothing else was required. It did get a wash as well though! So the slightly more in insurance is more than offset by less service costs on a Tesla. Incidentally last August my insurance on the Zoe was £480 this year i was quoted by the same company £896! But changed to Aviva and had breakdown cover included and was £580 and included business use.

      Having just bought an older Model S, P100DL, I would say that the continuous software updates DO NOT necessarily add as much to the car as you think. Yes, I have had many updates since I bought it but those updates don't give me the same features/improvements/additions as newer Teslas. One example is speed camera notifications. My car doesn't have them built-in, whereas other Teslas received them via a software update.
      Just want to make it clear to secondhand buyers that SOME software improvements WILL NOT be added to older cars. You will just get "bug fixes" or the odd minor add-on (new games, slight difference to screen layout, etc). So in reality your older car will not necessarily have the same features as the newer ones.

    I think next year I'm going to opt for a MG5 61kWh. May not have as high a range, or as quick but by that time, it'll probably be a 10-11k car used for the pre facelift. Similar to what the MG5 52kWh is currently.
    A Tesla will probably be my step after that when they reduce down further but then I have to worry about warranty.

      - motor reduction gear oil change at 50-70k miles (100-120 per motor)
      - cabin filter change is a pain to replace (£40-70)
      - wheel alignment is a thing as the car eats tyres (£70-130)
      - suspension bushings start failing from 30k miles and you will replace pretty much all control arms by 100k ( £200-300 a pair)
      - steering column play issues (£400-600)
      - wiring issues( £100-300)

      The experience will still be much better for Tesla drivers:
      - No need to get the membership for a monthly fee, you already paid into that as a Tesla customer, so they pay the lowest fare, free of charge, for life.
      - All the navigation and trip planning is integrated seamlessly into the system, no need for fumbling around to look for it.
      - Some EVs have their charge ports in not so ideal locations, making it a pain to find the right parking position to reach the connector.
      - The most seamless plug and play experience, no need to fumble for membership or payment cards, a nice convenience.
      - Integrated and relatively polished app lets you check on your car from anywhere while you shop or eat, less fear of ending up paying for idle fees.
      Still a great thing that they opened up the network, as it's critical to the EV industry as a whole to have such a big reliable charging network to rely on.

    Surely the point/justification of the massive subsidy to company car drivers was to create a supply of reasonably priced second hand EVs. The depreciation shouldn't be a surprise - the sudden glut in supply was built in. When we had our first EV - delivered the day the BIK tax rule came in in April 2020 - there were hardly any EVs on the road. It's actually vindication of the original policy.
