Hi all, have been pondering a new vehicle for a while now (some previous suggestions include a Guilia Veloce which peaked the interest), but have seen some strong pricing on Tesla’s through work. (c£300 a month, £2k down, 10k miles p/a).

Now I can fit a EV charger at my house in the Midlands , no problems but I do go down to London for work once a week. I can easily charge at a ‘charge yard’ or at Oxford services so no issue there.

However, what are people seeing these days with regards charging their Tesla’s at home / service station? It’s unlikely I’ll change my electricity tariff given i got a fixed rate contract precovid so don’t want to hop out of that. But insights into full charge pricing will be super helpful in my comp vs staying with a petrol vehicle.

Any thoughts / ideas are appreciated!

If it works for you then go for it, how much is the EV6/Ionic in comparison?

I assume that price is for the standard range?

For that price why not?

Consider the Musk factor...

Anything / everything could happen to Tesla as the Great Man continues his departure from the rails
