...

Maybe when the mortgage is paid off..

Mine is, but I still can't get my head around spending as much on my 'new car' as my first house cost .... 

It's insane. I reckon you could buy a really decent car for the price of twelve months depreciation on a Q7 or the like.

Someone paid £63000 for my car when new  so that's £37000 depreciation in 5yrs

Are you saying you paid £26000 for the the new derv Merc, Mr Beanz?.........

You are very astute, Opti. I wouldn't like to face you across the table.

I'm just surprised there is so much money in beanz.

It seems that Heinz Paysz Workersz Fortunesz.

Daughter is buying a top of range Tesla X with autopilot. Should be interesting to ride in.

Possibly the most disappointing car I have been in given the price tag 

Do tell, I can try to dissuade her.

The general build quality is very poor, not well screwed together, very random panel gaps, lots of low quality touchy bits and not well screwed together.

Road manners are not great either, handling is very below par, its crap off road (it is just the road car on steroids) and they do have reliability issues.

The random rear doors are a pain and are known for open/close faults.

Then when you throw in the fact its an Ethernet port for diag, no OBD compliance so Tesla only for code reading and the fact the dealerships are in trouble, that the whole package starts to look massively overpriced and under delivers.

We had one in teardown, the verdict was a lot of tech in a Dacia type build.

Tesla is becoming like Apple, it has followers despite all the problems..........(just like an old Defender  )

Thanks Mark

Oi! I quite like a proper Land Rover.

I wouldn't want one - that itch would better be served by as <12yr old Range Rover.
