Minus the £65/month you might have earned leaving the capital in a high interest account.

Not sure, but the Tesla SC network is probably one of the biggest selling points for buying a Tesla. Considering their SC network and everything else you get, the new Tesla Model 3 is beginning to look like good value for money.

Sounds good. What does your insurance company say about all these changes?

Absolutely. I refuse to charge at some of these rapid chargers. At 80p/unit I can run my E-Class Mercedes for half the fuel cost. Ridiculous.

Agreed. But, their network does more or less eliminate the top concern of all EV drivers, range anxiety.

I doubt it, as users would be be unlikely to comment on items already present in the car.

Agreed, but the prices are the same, and car reviewers often compare the value of a new car versus one that is less than 12-month old - which I what I have done. Many would find the Tesla a considerably more desirable piece of kit especially in most areas but especially when it comes to access...

A 1-yr old Tesla Model 3 Performance .......?

That is a truly awful horror story. So sorry you are having all these issues. Hope it all works out soon.

Hopefully, at some stage in the near future, spare part stock will be abdundant. My brother's Hyundai Ioniq 6 had to have parts flown in from South Korea on several ocassions. Even then, the dealership had never seen before the particular problem with the car and struggled for ages resulting in...

What on Earth are you talking about? I write in plain terms. You seem to have some kind of agenda that is unhelpful. End. I am no longer responding to this nonsense.

Why should I? It's the rate on my latest Octopus energy bill.

Wrong. My rate with Octopus is now 13p/kWh so the premium stays extant. Simple arithmetic.

I am not being flippant, but acquired wisdom would recommend you consider a modern plug-in hybrid, especially if range in winter is a concern and given the frequency of the journey.

Not being contentious, just curious; do you think an insurance company would pull a face knowing that two safety features have been deactivated?

1) Octopus website. 2) Direct conversations with Octopus. Nibble away.

The tariff is only good if you don't mind paying the exorbitant daytime rate premium of 12p/kWh on top of their other tariffs, i.e. have lots of solar and/or use very little daytime units. So, Octopus recommended I stay on my 18p/kWh anytime tariff.
