I don’t need to currently own one to see which way the wind is blowing.
What do you drive? A 34 MPG 2012 5 Series I reckon.

Hybrids are nowt new. The jump to electric-only is a long way off imo.The major car manufacturers are already commiting to hybrids and it won’t be long before they go pure EV. I reckon the majority of children born this year will never drive a petrol or diesel car.

The only way that will happen is if they can be made much more practical and a lot cheaper.They aren’t, but Honda and Volvo have already committed to making only hybrids and EVs. Others will follow. We won’t see many petrol only cars on the roads by 2040.

What kind of cost is it to charge a Tesla or another electric car?
Shell love me way more than that , trust me.
For the record I've had extended test drives in both the Tesla an Jaguar ipace , both very good cars but not 100% suitable for my needs.
Added to which I’d finance one out of taxed income not a heavily subsidised lease agreement, they are still out of reach to most people like me.
As an example the Tesla was in the region of £18k deposit and £900 a month iirc , at the time I was paying about £4500 a year in bik taxes, a no brainer for me.

Most cost about 4-5 pence a mile. But there's cheap overnight tariffs from electric companies that might be cheaper as well as free charging points at workplaces, shops and supermarkets.What kind of cost is it to charge a Tesla or another electric car?
Thing of beauty that.That Honda e looks cool mind.
HM Treasury says that for cars first registered from April 6, 2020, most company car tax rates will be reduced by two percentage points.
That means for a pure electric vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions, company car drivers will be taxed at 0%, paying no BIK tax at all.
Furthermore, the zero percentage rate is also extended to company car drivers in pure electric vehicles registered prior to April 6, 2020, who were already looking forward to a much reduced rate of 2% for 2020/21.
I take it that’s a no then @Les the Scientist ?
where do you get that they are unreliable from? There isn’t many loving parts and not much to go wrong on them, their reliability and safety ratings are superb.
if you do break down, you use the onboard system to summon assistance and they come and get you and take the car to the nearest service centre, all included in the deal.
It would be fine if they had a quick recharge time but they don't.Are they not practical enough now? 200-250 miles on a single charge.

Model 3s are on about 3 months lead in so get ordering.Ok cheers mate. Means I'm not restricted to waiting til April. Hopefully can get something sorted sooner
The only issues I've seen with Teslas are in the US - people been using autopilot and they've been crashing left right and centre. But to me that's down to the driver not the car.
Lease?If anyone needs a Tesla referral code then please PM me. It’s worth it for both of us.
£8.60 for 200 milesway cheaper than petrol or diesel
Most won’t have that facility as it’s shit expensiveOk cheers mate. Means I'm not restricted to waiting til April. Hopefully can get something sorted sooner

How involved have you been with car manufacturers? The jump has already been made to be honest, there is no significant development money being out in to ICE cars now. They are all developing a wide range of EVs. They are not daft, they can see the ICE is becoming obsolete by technical development brought on by the commitment to zero new ICEs by 2040 (or earlier in some countries).Hybrids are nowt new. The jump to electric-only is a long way off imo.
Autopilot comes as standard. It’s FSD that’s extra.Lease?
