I really like my Model 3 but I hate the association with Musk, I was considering buying it at the end of the lease but I’m having second thoughts. Yes, I know I’ve already lined his pockets in a small way!!

I haven’t experienced the poor build quality, in the 2.5 years I’ve had it I’ve not had any issues and only 1 recall for an o-ring replacement on a gas strut.

Tesla needs to be rescued from Musk by one of the established car manufacturers, my vote would be for Mercedes.

I agree, at this point he’s holding Tesla back.

Their range of cars has become stale and outdated. His vanity project, the Cybertruck, is a disaster, the Model S and X aren’t selling and the Y isn’t getting a refresh anytime soon. Tesla can’t continue on just the Model 3 sales. They need to compete with the established manufacturers who are now getting their act together when it comes to EVs and also acknowledge that the Chinese EVs are viable alternatives.

Tesla need a small SUV and small compact, it’s what people want.

Hi, I’m sure they are NVME. I think they are Seagate units. I didn’t use brand new ones, they were recycled from old workstations. I just reformatted them and installed them. Sorry I couldn’t be more help 😕

I’m in the UK and my experience is that DPD are one of the better ones, never had any real problems with their deliveries and updates by email and app are great.

But I suppose, we have Yodel and Evri as alternatives and they are proper terrible so the bar isn’t very high!!

I believe it is. What stands out to me is £1.04+ vat is not £1.45!!!

My local Waitrose has some Shell chargers, 2x 150kwh, and 6x 22kwh. But they have the cheek to charge 81p per kwh!!!
