ONE Tesla or keep my Flying Spur and buy a Leaf
Discussion
I currently have a Prius as everyday runner in London traffic, school runs etc, We also have a Flying Spur Bentley which I use for the occasional long distance weekend trip ( and hardly ever in London). I was thinking of buying a Nissan Leaf to replace the Prius, but was just wondering why not selling the Bentley as well and upgrade to one Tesla: we spend so many more hours in the city anyway so might as well go the whole way EV....
Thanks for the replies- I am trying to compare the combo of Leaf + big old luxury ICE ( like the Bentley) to just one Tesla. I do not need 2 cars, but liked idea of city car and long distance one. Can Tesla do BOTH?
have driven one and Models S are great, refined ( ride) and at least as quick as a Bentley but interior very different..... And almost as big for driving in town.
Cost wise, selling my low mileage but 8yr old FS would still need some top up for buying a Tesla.
One thing I did notice though is that Model S seem to keep their value quite well.... ( not just The few UK cars, but checking US and EU resale values), whereas Leafs are a bargain ! So depreciation wise that Tesla seems less costly
