What are you thinking that might cost that much on a Tesla?Have you got a bulletproof warranty or a spare £5-£10k available if something major goes wrong?
So what I hear is that I should only buy a used car from Tesla . Size isnt an issue . Ta for the replyHave you got a bulletproof warranty or a spare £5-£10k available if something major goes wrong? Also I presume that you are happy driving such a wide car and don't need to go down roads that are tight for cars passing in the opposite direction?
You mean that little? 😋What are you thinking that might cost that much on a Tesla?
would be taken up by more people.Maybe you have it 3 years and loose £9000 in depreciation in which case you have got a great drive for the equivalent of £250pm.
We considered a similar mileage and vintage (just out of warranty) used Model S but here in California for about the same up front cost we could buy a brand new Chevy Bolt and garner all of the tax incentives making it substantially cheaper! The biggest surprise that deterred us from the Model S was getting an insurance quote for the used car while the market "values" were pretty much the same as the Bolt, the premium for the Tesla with identical coverage and deductibles was going to cost more than TWICE what we were quoted for the Bolt! After talking with the agent they explained that their biggest cost for Tesla claims stems from what would otherwise be considered "minor" body damage on every other car. Allegedly on a Tesla even what looks like minor body damage can misalign one or more critical auto-pilot critical sensors (even if AP is not installed it still flags as a critical error) that may require replacement of several entire body panels that then all need to be architecturally re-calibrated. Thus all body repairs must be carried out by Tesla at a substantial premium cost often to the point of exceeding the value of the car and thereby causing the insurance company to write the car off!Have you got a bulletproof warranty or a spare £5-£10k available if something major goes wrong?

Simply not true. I had a camera error. Tesla replaced the camera unit and it self calibrates. No body panels replaced.Allegedly on a Tesla even what looks like minor body damage can misalign one or more critical auto-pilot critical sensors (even if AP is not installed it still flags as a critical error) that may require replacement of several entire body panels that then all need to be architecturally re-calibrated.
Also not true. I had some minor body damage caused by a valet. The repair was done by a third party body shop, which also handled Audis, Renault, etc. Their cost was extremely reasonable.Thus all body repairs must be carried out by Tesla at a substantial premium cost often to the point of exceeding the value of the car and thereby causing the insurance company to write the car off!
