Range and charging rate.

£3000 down. I always do 0 down. You can make the monthly payment anything you like by increasing the deposit.

And again you end up with nothing at the end because it's hire only.

£32,845 for an in the road price for an M3 with accessories. That’s very good. Where was that? The main Tesla UK website?

I can't figure out what he's done. If I go to tesla.com and spec that car it comes out like this:



That's paying £32k over 4 years to hire it but the monthlies are much higher. And remember that you don't have anything to show for it at the end, that's why PCH is a bit cheaper than PCP. It's like paying rent vs paying a mortgage.

This is not looking good. It's not very efficient and it seems like the battery is only 28kWh usable, way below what I was expecting for a 35.5kWh pack.

Fingers crossed the 16" wheels make a big difference... ?

My (post-covid) commute includes a 75 mile one way journey once every two weeks, half of which is motorway - that looks like its going to need a stop in the middle of around 25 min to charge, turning a 90 min diesel journey into two hours...

Another charging curve video, confirms what Bjorn found.

I asked Honda again today on web chat and they insisted 0-80% in 30 minutes.

Ask them to bet. If it does not charge in 30 minutes they give you a discount

Even their own brochure only claims from "battery warning" (15% according to Bjorn) to 80% in 31 minutes, though the actual wording is something like "charge to 80%*, then the little * reveals all charge times are from when the low battery warning comes on. That's actually not far of what Bjorn got tbh. 15%-80% in his video was 34 minutes

That's accurate then, Bjorn saw 10-80% in 36 minutes so starting with another 5% will probably be enough to get it down to 30 minutes.

Problem is that's only 65% of the available battery, which is only 18.2kWh @ 100kph. Works out at about 117km / 72 miles between charging stops.

At 120 kph / 75mph it's down to 78km or 48 miles (!!!) between charging stops.

Edit: I just realised that's 48 miles in good weather. At night in the rain with heating on... Better stick to doing 60 or 55.
