Hi Guys
I currently have been approved for a Tesla Model 3 LR with delivery expected in next week or so (existing inventory). Total cost came to £49,490.
I am thinking if it would make more sense for me to instead buy a Peugeot E-2008 GT which are currently being offered by some dealers at £32,000 after discount/grant.
It isn’t really a like for like comparison and clearly the Tesla beats the Peugeot in many ways, but is it worth an extra £17.5k?
We usually don’t drive more than 10/20 miles a day with the occasional 100-150 mile round trip once or twice a month. We have a child so boot space/backseat space is preferred and usually a higher ride of crossover/SUV is also preferred.
There are pros and cons to both vehicles and I’m really trying to justify if I should really be spending the extra £17.5k on the Tesla?
Tesla pros:
Thank you for input.

Tesla pros:
- It’s very premium
- Much higher range
- Better drive/handling according to reviews (Inc 4WD)
- Supreme acceleration and top speed
- Autopilot is very simple to use
- PIN to drive (my last car was stolen)
- It’s a Tesla!
- Price
- Not totally a fan of autopilot having seen extensive use on London via YouTube, blind spot monitoring/avoidance is weak compared to other manufacturers (imo)
- No powered boot close/open
- Not an SUV/Crossover
- No heat pump (bigger hit during winter)
- Cost!
- I prefer the look personally
- Prefer the blind spot technology
- Apple Carplay
- Wireless charging
- Powered tailgate
- Better vision out of rear
- More space
- Has a heat pump (reducing range loss)
- Range anxiety
- Performance/drive lacklustre
- Likely to depreciate faster
Thank you for input.
