GSM/LTE would be more expensive, unless it was bundled into the purchase price, which in my case it is (Tesla). Wifi certainly has advantages if you are static and very close to the router, or if your system allows bridging via a mobile device, but then if you are relying on your mobile device...

A very good and valid point Anko, however I never had a tow bar fitted to my PHEV so it is difficult for me to compare. I do however have a friend that has fitted a 'bar to his Model S and although it "pulls like a train" his range has been hammered and he only gets 250 miles on a charge. But...

OK team, interesting that this thread is still running after all this time. I ended up ditching the useless Mitsi and buying a Tesla. I am now on my second Tesla (Model S P100D) and can't believe how shockingly bad the Mitsi was in nearly all regards when compared to the Tesla.

Steady chaps, wives/GFs have an unerring talent for founding out all we say .... :shock: Mrs T. (or rather Dr. T), whose first degree was was a first with Hons. in Psychology and has an IQ of 158, is finding it problematical to incorporate the technology that is available to her. She is not...

With a 200 mile range + comprehensive distribution of 30 minute charge stations and suddenly the Tesla 3 becomes a very viable 1st car. Particularly in a small country like the UK. However, there is still a need to install EV points OFF the MSRs (Main Supply Routes) to develop a mindset...

Fully agree.

Jaap, looks like you have done the full body kit that is not available in the UK yet.

Sorry if this has been covered already. I have ploughed through the hundreds of discussion strings and can not find any up-to-date data on this. How many cards/accounts are needed to get a reasonable charge coverage for the UK and how many cables should I be carrying around? Could members...

I have just been going through the Dutch PHEV accessory .pdf to look at the wheels options. A considerably broader range than the UK. Holland was the EU launch market so you are ahead of us by a few months, so hoping that the full range of accessories becomes available to us soon. It also...

Hey Jaap, looks like I might not get to fondle your Leicas after all. :lol:

I spent a few years in logistics and there is a huge capacity of cargo space available on returning trucks/vans to the UK. Added to that there are hundreds of Dutch freight/couriers servicing the UK and feeding into UK distribution hubs on a daily basis. Import Transport and UK distribution is...

I wonder if your mechanical resistance is gradually reducing as you "run the car in". The changes really only should be extremely small unless you had an very "tight" car to start with.

Then again, if you factor in that your electricity supplier is Ecotricity who claim to buy in all their electricity from wind farms, you will then have to factor back out the carbon cost of manufacturing process of the "windmills" and their transport to site - quite frankly you could drive...

Atlantic Grey, which is not an inspiring name really. Suggests mile after mile of dull grey of the Atlantic Ocean. The same colour is called Titanium in other markets, which sounds much better. So my salesman was wrong, that wishy-washy nursery room baby-blue is winning hearts :o ooops!

Mine arrived at the dealer (Biggleswade) three weeks after the vessel arrived.
