So I’ve finally bitten the bullet and have a Tesla. Curiosity killed the cat and given the advances in the capability of electric vehicles, then for me it’s the right time to give it a go.
The car is far from perfect. It’s common knowledge that the overall quality isn’t on a par with more mainstream brands such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi, however it’s not far behind. It is clear that it is the technology that you are buying and the “structure / build quality is getting there”. So if you go in with your eyes wide open, then you know what to expect.
Mine appears to be a decent example with only one minor blemish on collection from Tesla. It drives very well indeed, it’s comfortable, but with very decent handling and performance. I am enjoying the technology as well as the minimalist fuss free interior. Everyone who has been in the car have been impressed.
It is fair to say it’s no beauty to look at, but with a few subtle enhancements I’ve got it looking how I want it to. Which I am happy with.
Do I prefer It to my AMG? Absolutely not, but Am I glad I’ve switched to electric then yes! If the AMG sells then I will replace it with an older Mercedes or similar that I will restore, enhance, modify etc. I’ve wanted to do this for a while, so would mean I still have an exciting ICE alternative.
