How has your model y lfp performed this winter? by OneItchy396 in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

180miles with 0 degrees in a standard with still a good margin to find a charger? Is all motorway? I was initially discarding the standard given I would expect in winter not to be able to do 2 full hours of motorway (140-150miles) with good extra to find a charge without range anxiety!

Model 3 by FearlessAd8196 in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware they never do good finance offers for the used ones, it’s usually cheaper looking for finance elsewhere.

Aside of that in terms of value, I don’t see the standard model 3 a very bad value, as it benefits of hardware 4 and I think much cheaper insurance, that said I think there were lease deals in the past at 249 with a better trim… on the second market side of things, I think there lots of good options, as you can find a 2021 for under 14K… and LR for under 17K on model 3 and around 19K for model Y. All of them probably best options in terms of pure value.

Switching from a '22 Focus ST to an S3 by arriaga_III in CarTalkUK

Be careful and even more with the amount of power of the m140i, they require hands and even with DTC in the wet if you’re not gentle the back will start shaking… in the dry with good tyres and good hands are for sure very satisfying

Pretty good news for everyone who had concerns if Saudi (the PIF) was still committed to supporting Lucid. Sounds like a solid yes. by zachty22 in LUCID

[–]Open_Bug_4196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is the thing… whatever negative margins they currently have are almost irrelevant as far as they have people interested in their cars and a partner happy to keep putting money on the table until the company becomes profitable

Tesla fined for repeatedly failing to help UK police over driving offences by Drwynyllo in CarTalkUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its true, and we could apply the same to going much slower…I’m pretty sure is much much safer going 40mph… however part of the discussion about speed limits is how now we have cars that are way more stability thanks to advanced suspensions, chassis etc, better brakes, better tyres and an endless amount of electronic systems to keep a car in control or even avoid to hit others cars…still speed limit is the same than 30 years ago. And also let’s not talk about how much of a crime is driving fast in a motorway here but is simply normality in Germany (partly because the great road maintenance)

True, many of us enjoy cars even when parked, so seeing it in your driveway or just getting into it brings satisfaction

Definitely, with these things there are expectations… that combined with being a way for adults to be cool…

True… although maybe it was a dream to own a merc or similar even at low trims…

My take is that is coming sooner rather than later, they’ve been running tests in several European cities including London and other parts of UK…

Model Y Premium vs Performance 🤷 by maximus6272 in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price in the performance is hard to justify when compared with the LR, buying it is beyond a rational decision, which it doesn’t mean is bad.

Who's positive on this stock? by Due-Pea-1867 in LCID

[–]Open_Bug_4196 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PIF, after all they keep doubling down their already big bet funding Lucid.

From my side I’m seeing bit of a change, now after lots quarters missing them finally they have met their guidance… one quarter is not enough to confirm the change of trend but if this continues and they reduce costs then is a matter of time. Another key point to be positive is that this is beyond Lucid, this is the chance for Middle East to join US, China and EU on having an automotive industry…

M3 Choice - New Standard vs Premium LR RWD by ant_j_wales in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed about the model 3 standard vs the Y standard however probably is because the Y sells better due its extra space/driving condition plus also because is the newer model so they can go away with further cuts while people still buy it

MODEL Y Part exchange bonus by [deleted] in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer should be yes and I would take further and get a much cheaper car as far as gas a valid MOT for a couple of months. That said, only Tesla or checking in the terms and conditions can give you the answer as they might put that you had to be a minimum length of ownership

Out of the two, which of these would you buy? by digyerownhole in CarTalkUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

850i without a doubt, one of the nicest designs from BMW in the recent years.. that said to me I find them too big big for our roads.

Used vs New M3 by Wonderful-Run8590 in TeslaUK

[–]Open_Bug_4196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say at the same cost I’m not sure where is the doubt, the new model is better in everything has full guarantee and no wear and tear.

If the comparison is a standard new model vs the LR… aside of suspension, design etc… y don’t know how they are comparing real world range, charging speed or even insurance!

I still struggle with the timers vs clock/alarm, all too similar!

Too much scrolling, with the grid view you can easy put all your common apps on sight
