If you don't mind me asking how many tickets do you buy per week/month?
I only know a couple who won with r kings (both cars) but from what I can see they enter a serious amount of raffles
Ye in the last month I've done a serious amount of raffles. Lost count tbh.
I started in August. Did the odd raffle here and there. Then I won the first one and kinda went a bit mad for a while. The first one I'd only bought a few tickets (maybe €100 over a cupla months) but that prompted me to start entering a loada raffles. I'd be embarrassed to say how much I've spent on Rkings at this stage, but even with the smaller win, I'm still in the profit by a big margin on Rkings alone. If I never won, you could argue its a gambling problem!
I'll keep going until I win another and then I'll consider my position. At the moment, I've made so much that it'd be silly to stop tbh...0 -

Fair play for being so honest about it and it’s great you have won and are up.
I have to admit to buying more tickets than I should too but haven’t won a thing yet but to be honest it’s something to do at the moment. I’ll keep buying tickets for the draws I have an interest in too, there really is very little else to do at the moment.0 -

The McKinney Tesla was pulled due to an issue with the electrics. Teslas are apparently difficult to fix. I heard they have to go back to Tesla themselves. I imagine it was quicker to shift the tickets to the Ferrari than wait for it to be fixed.
I don't know too much about Teslas but if it was fixed by Tesla themselves, and put up for raffle again, I'd be happy enough to take it off their hands! 0 -

Tesla's also have a pretty extensive warranty, something like 8 yrs unlimited mileage, and quiet a few of the earlier ones are now getting replacement motors and batteries so if this was done it might not be too bad a prospect. From looking online, parts are not easily got unless getting from a scrap yard and I can imagine most parts are coded to the car so even if you could get them, could you recode them to your car?
Fantastic car to drive but I'm not sure if I could live with a car that I couldnt fix myself.0 -

Both true.
Tesla “restrict” certain parts to the public. I can rock up and buy wiper blades, a wiper arm etc but I can’t but motors, battery cells, most parts of the wiring system etc
But the warranty is great too. 8 years and unlimited mileage on the early cars which means every single Tesla model s in this country is still under manufacturers warranty for battery and drivetrain until 2022 at least.
Some things you can still do yourself, suspension work, although mine has smart adaptive air suspension so not sure if that’s a tricky item, but the mechanical parts are accessible and replaceable.0 -
