My Tesla Model 3
 
Don't adjust your TV sets.....

My long running streak of VAG has come to an end, and indeed, my streak with fossil fuel as it happens.

A combination of total frustration trying to find an Audi that was worth having (that I haven't already had), a need for some sort of transport, insanely tempting tax breaks and the desire for 'something a bit different'

And its ticked all those boxes.

I'll no doubt post a more detailed review in a while, but I'm 24 hours in, and no regrets as yet...... +++

Oh alright then..... +++

A huge thanks as well to Stephen for his support getting me to this point. The test drives, the info, the real life feedback. I wasn't ready 4 years ago. I wasn't ready last year, but circumstances came together to make this all a bit of a no brainer in the last month or two.

It isn't an Audi. It isn't an A8. It isn't Germanic build quality (but a lot closer than you'd expect) and its a big departure from carrying round vagcom if I felt I wanted to get connected to my car.....

I'm 72 hours in, and it does feel like I just bought front row seats to the future of motoring if i'm honest.

Having swapped from A8's, into a Q7, I think my next car maybe and Model X.... If I can make it all add up at the time.

Subscribed! +++

Haven't yet found decent replacement for FL D2.

Hope Tesla will hold it's value. Well, until VAG catch up with competing alternatives.

Already upgrading my consumer unit to install charger +++

Very nice Ian congrats. +++
It is still powered via fossil fuel though. But you are right it is the future.
