Base Tesla cheaper overall than a £5K barge ?

[sjtgeray]

Having owned a (now) shedworthy V8 for almost 10 years, my man-maths seem to be suggesting that a Tesla replacement might make more sense than another < £5K barge-type car. I can buy for cash via my Limited Company which i think would save Corporation Tax and personal tax if i took the money out of the company.
Could someone more knowledgeable than I take a look at my cost comparison table in this thread and check i am not way off...assumes 10 years, 100K comparison against current car....thanks

You need to scroll down the thread on page 1 to get to my "maths"

I guess i picked 25mpg as that's what the current car does (computer shows 26, but with almost zero town driving)...and it also helps with the man-maths !!!

jjwilde....haha, thats what i said to the wife. I was looking at a 2006 Saab 9-5 Aero but fuel economy is just as bad, and 2007 models come with £555 road tax. I have a hatred of diesels so they are definitely out, but yes, am sure i could find a comfy, quiet petrol with better mpg, albeit with pretty stilted performance

You get more space and save money. It's more "wife maths" than man maths, ie accurate.

Oh lordy, an estate (yuk) and a diesel (no, no for me - should be banned ) .....more pollutants than my old A8, which is surprisingly free in the ULEZ zone
