I’m actually proud of my carbon footprint 20 year old 3.0 litre diesel, when I pop into the services at the Oxford turn off on the M40, and see the great big line of Tesla’s and the like sitting there

We have been ripped off big time with this electric car dream it’s going to die a certain death. I’d never have one, gay, feminine, typical divs car. If you had an emergency call for a serious family

Just had a look, not for me pal, cheapest are about 30k as well, feck that lol. 18k for a motor with 30k miles ain't too bad IMO, you'll struggle to find owt decent these days for under 15k.

4 ton of scrap = around £600 seems like a steal at 18k sound investment looks like the futures bright in your household lol

They all end up scrap at some point damp patch, stop reading posts on FB and you'll see they reach hundreds of thousand of miles, piece of piss. They are no less reliable than ICE cars, in fact if anything they are more reliable, less mechanical parts. Don't be like your canoe, dim! Lol

That's why there's loads on the market and relatively cheap. When you consider that you can get a full charge for around £6 you'd be crazy not to consider when in need of a new motor.

I prefer to buy vehicles that have reached the end of depreciation. No good having a nice motor when being used for the dogs 😂

Had a Tesla in work fitting a towbar to it ..

Fella had used it for 3yrs as a taxi then passed it onto his wife to use as her daily car . And he said it was still running fine .

Boss has a 2019 model 3 and it's had some stick and it's still grand still gets the same milage out of a charge ect .

Don't know why people have so much of an issue with them, Are they any different than most of the leccy and hybrid stuff that's about ? 

One man's decided to buy one and your all jumping in calling him names and getting on like kids in a playground FFS my cars faster, I've more money next it'll be my dad's bigger than yours ffs, some of you really do need to wise up and enjoy your life and not worry bout other people's ..

With the state of the roads ,volume of traffic ,level of driving capability, does it matter what you drive ? Battered old transit on cloned plates ,love how the marketing of these vehicles shows it in a empty city centre ,laughing kids in back  ,couple in the front smiling ???? There's the first lot of lies ,so why believe the product is anygood
