Thought I would do an update now that I have been living with the Tesla (not my first choice see earlier post) for 3 1/2 months.
Recommended
Supercharger network simple to use and even peek cost lower than most other rapid chargers (Mostly varies between 32P and 45p /KWH on a 150, 200 or 250KW chargers)
Range
performance
integration with my mobile
General drivability not bad easy to set the cabin up for long range comfort.
I can get as low as 3p per mile when I plan ahead using Octopus EV overnight rate.
The predicted range on a given trip is amazingly accurate.
A Pain
That stupid screen and virtually nothing on the steering wheel.
Virtually everything is on the touch screen not too bad after getting used to it but still a pain when your in heavy traffic and needing to concentrate
the loose carpet that get tangled around my left foot.
Build quality I have avoided American cars in the past and this ones a doozie.
Adaptive cruise its a curse not very helpful it makes way too many mistakes to be relied on like stopping me dead in the outside lane of dual carriageway just because the truck in front of me (in the left lane) turned into a layby its done it 3 times now I rarely use adaptive cruise.
My Mum (85) has finally worked out how to open the doors
Dorset they don't have electricity yet not a single supercharger in the whole of that wasteland known as Dorset!
Overall its been a pretty decent experience but I did prefer the Hyundai IONIC 5 as its more like a proper car.
I would quite like one of these I wonder where I can find £2,500,000 ?

It's rare and desirable
