The Y is going to sell really well, my only issue with it is the price, but that's because I've seen how much Tesla have pushed up their pricing over the years. |

I think £55k is reasonable for the Y in today's market, it's not facing off against X3/5s and GLC/Es with 25% off, at least for now.

The scary bit is with price inflation for everything, it wouldn't surprise me if in 12 months time you can price one up for £80K, and £60K for the base model will seem 'cheap'. We need to decided what to do with our house build, if we aren't going to go ahead with it than am very tempted to order a LR Y to replace the Lexus before the inevitable price hikes start. |

I've got a Discovery without a tow bar and don't view it as a necessity in any way, not sure that the majority of families do. But it would have been a £600-£1500 option if I wanted one iirc.

So a fair old saving over a £100k new one that is 12 months away from being built.

Looks incredibly bland and boring to me.
Tesla styling on all their models does absolutely nothing me. I'd choose the Polestar over a 3 every time. |

I just remember Elon teasing people about the sub £35K Model 3, and making EVs 'affordable' to all . |

I've seen folk here getting excited about the 'model 2' being sub-25k, but they're forgetting that will be dollar pricing and when it arrives here it will be much more expensive. |

There is glitzy blingy ugly and then there is frumpy froggy ugly and I think I want my future EV years from now to be neither.
If push comes to shove and I'm paying big money I want the former though. |

We'd definitely have one.
However just last month we took delivery of our new Volvo XC40 T5 (PHEV). It's a lovely thing, and my Wife was adamant she wanted another Volvo. She fell in love with it immediately. However in the last few weeks, she's been using my Model 3 for commuting. Two days in and she announces she absolutely loves it and how much better of a drive it is than the Volvo...

You raise an interesting point there. I've always assumed an EV charging network will ultimately consist of sites dedicated for that purpose - or attached to things like motorway service areas where people don't stop for long - and hence I wouldn't necessarily expect a destination like Alton Towers to provide EV charging points (any more than I'd expect them to have an on-site filling station for petrol and diesel). But maybe I'm wrong?

As for coming to London, thanks for the offer but regardless of ICE or EV for me allowing the train to take the strain makes far more sense than driving down there! |
