Ferrari Ff or Tesla Model 3 Performance
Discussion
I know it's an odd pairing to be deciding between, but I'm struggling to make the decision.
Sensible head is saying model 3, will be buying through company with tax advantages, using for commuting etc. Had a mk1 nissan leaf previously and was great for the commute into Manchester down the M62 from Warrington e.g. Traffic jam central...
Fun head is saying sub 100k ferrari ff, just to have experienced a ferrari, you only live once kind of thing.
I reckon depreciation may not be that different....?
Help!

Tbf this is a nice problem to have.
But to me it's a choice between an exotic Italian dream car or a computer in a box.
Like many who grew up in the 80s I had Ferraris in my wall, if my boys want car posters on their walls when they are older they will not be Tesla's !
Both are fast but one is a dream car with all the noise, feel and looks of a dream car. The other is a Tesla. I suspect the Ferrari will be way more fun.
In a few years Tesla's will be everywhere but the Ferrari will still be rare and sought after.
Switching from dreamer mode (unlikely I'll ever be able to afford a Ferrari) I still think the Ferrari will be more sensible in terms of residual value

Thanks all, I guess what makes it a harder decision is that I already have some cars that tick some of the boxes the ferrari does.. and I struggle to part with them which is another of my issues!
Drive them both and buy the one you like the most?Having had some weird and wonderful cars I'd say be aware you won't really be able to leave the FF anywhere in public without potential problems.
I bought a Model S P100D earlier in the year, and bitterly regret it. The faults have been myriad, and the customer service has been abysmal. What’s made it even worse is how hard it is to speak to anyone with any authority to deal with issues.
I rejected it three months ago, and they still have my car, and my money, and have simply broken off communication.
It’s not put me off electric cars, but it has put me off Teslas. I’d have possibly persevered and let them keep attempting fixes if the product itself was better, but overall it was just too, well, “American”. The “vegan leather” is clearly plastic, it’s a sort of reverse Tardis, as in massive on the outside and not very big on the inside, and there was no sense of luxury as I’d expect from a family car costing £100,000.
I’m considering an FF myself now, or waiting to get a Taycan Sport Turismo.
