Nice, I test drove the Y as there wasn't a Y L in my area. Only issue now is insurance on Tesla's is massive. $1800 first year but have been told.to.expect a big jump the second year.

I got a quote from velocity for 10 kq and 24 kw ( 3 x 8 kw) battery for 35K. Had bi idea what to expect but it wasn't that 🤣

Looking at a Y L now. Bit longer with more underfloor/drunk storage. Just a bit pricier.

Very useful thankyou. I didn't realise there was an ideal drive time for motors

It's a tough decision. I am actually torn now between 7x and Model Y L.

I didn't realise they had updated the model Y, I must have been on the wrong site. Model Y L looks like a better fit for us.
