they got 315 miles in that vid but look at the fkn price

 

[Steve A]

yes that's the model s in ideal conditions at over 100k, the model x is 70k and real mileage is about 180 per charge with the new model 3 at about 30k and same mileage.

Guy down the road from me has one. I didn't notice the car but did notice his 'tesler' number plate! Braver man than me. The depreciation on that car is scary.

Aren't Teslas holding their price better than any others?

That doesn't say much though. I had the chance of a six month old Nissan Leaf with hardly any mileage on the clock, including battery for £10,500. It was bought for circa £27,000.

It doesn't take much to better that phenomenal depreciation.

Maybe an electric car appreciation thread guys

I should have said any other cars, not just electric.

Each to their own, I'm on my second Leaf (this model with the 30kWh pack), and 80,000 miles later I can state categorically that I'll never go back to a combustion powered car as a daily driver.

PCP / hire is the way forward at the low end of the electric car market, at least until the technology stabilises.

535d msport soon to be upgraded to the 640d,at least until I can afford a hover craft

 

[chris130256]

I take it you won 't be carrying the Levo in the 640?

 

[Rouge Rider]

Haven't planned to no,maybe a detachable tow bar but I'd rather not.when I go anywhere of note I use a friends landrover.

 

[Eckythump]

Lots of shops with Levos in stock,the expert has dropped from 5.6k to 5k in a lot of shops and that's only happens this week,the drop in money is nice but I'd happily pay full price on next years model if the battery was bigger or better...however you view it.
The three company's I'm emailing are tredz wheelbase and bikescene...WB and BS are local which I'd prefer because of any warranty issues I may have

Can whole heartedly recommend Bike Scene, a great bunch of guys.

Ive been speaking with them but they just aren't competitive enough price wise,shame as I here from quite a few that there actual service is superb

It's a Focus Jam2. Has a Shimano E8000 motor rather than Brose. It has an inbuilt 380w/HR pack so a little smaller than the competition but it's lighter weight and flick ability is more suited to the sort of riding I do.
I have tried the Levo on a couple of occasions but was not quite the bike for me.

The battery packs will have to become standardised units you lease then swap your depleated pack for a charged one at service stations.

Hmmm! I think it might be easier to change cars rather than the battery:
