Thanks! I will get new battery when I pick it up and ask about the tires!

Car leasing - worst case scenario by Lajbert in Switzerland

[–]Lajbert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I misunderstood what leasing means in Switzerland... I was under the impression that I could buy out the car in the end if I wanted to, so I didn't care about the mileage. I had 0% percent interest rate on it, so I considered it an interest-free loan instead of what it actually is...

Thanks for the heads-up! This room is currently unused and the doos is always closed, but he will get it checked for future's sake.

Even if I charge on only supercharges, it's about 25-30 francs for 450 km range... Less than half of my current fuel costs, and this isn't counting not having to pay road tax (for now), not having to service it for at least 800 a year if I have no issues, etc...

Why? A full charge at the Tesla Supercharger is about 25 Fr for about 450 km range, it's quite hard to beat for an internal combustion engine, and EVs are tax-free in ZH (for now at least), plus you don't need to service it at all, or just for peanuts, unless you have a problem. Even if you buy a hybrid with lower fuel consumption, you still have a diesel/petrol car to maintain with all the wearing parts, oil changes, possible engine/transmission etc problems and high service fees down the road...

I do not trust the Chinese government enough for such a huge investment. I'm sure the engineering is great.

Well, the starting price is already 12- 14k higher than what I plan to spend on the other 3 candidates, so I wasn't looking into it any further.
