This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

Same myself, in summer it nearly always read 237km for some reason. Now I'm in Dublin, not much in the form of hills and I have a lead right foot. But I didn't really drive all that much on motorways either and that kills range if you drive at 120km/h GPS speed, as someone earlier said correctly that's about 128km/h indicated. Even in a very aerodynamic car like the Ioniq. Look we can argue about range all day. Over 3 years of owning it, I reckon I averaged about 14kWh /100km, which with an available battery of 28kWh gives a range of 200km, which is pretty much exactly like the EPA and WLTP figures.

I guess a lot of people in here advise on range as in range until you really would be better off re-charging. I was referring to range. As in range until empty, back at the time several people in the German Ioniq forum drove the car unitl empty and the concensus was that on a warm day it can do 250km at 100km/h constant. Would I ever try do that myself if I needed to make a 250km trip? Of course not.

I did do a 170km trip from Dublin to Waterford (no CCS points in between back in 2017) when we had run several errands in the morning before the trip and I ended up with 12% left or something like that, most of the trip was done at 120km/h. You will get about 180-190km/h in perfect circumstances at 120km/h until empty. Would I ever attempt a 190km trip and start off driving at 120km/h? Of course not.

I guess if your kids are in between kids seats and pre-teen, it's fine. 3 adults comfortably in the back is something only the largest cars can do, certainly not Ioniq. But my 3 teenagers were fine in it. I guess before you buy you'd try the car with the whole family to make sure. Personally I was disappointed in the rear space of the ID.3 (advertised as having the inside space of a Passat - which was clearly a lie), it was the main reason I cancelled my reservation back in the day.

Yeah I think someone measured the rear seat in ID.3 and it was something like 10cm narrower than in a Passat. That makes the car at least a full segment smaller by that definition alone.

142 Model S 85 Performance, asking €25k

This is my old car, I sold it early last year. The new owner has put up well over 60k km since then without issue. This is a well sorted car, I made sure everything important was replaced under warranty during my ownership. Awesome and fun performance (0-60 in 3.9s) without the faster but soulless all wheel drive of all the more recent versions of this car

Full spec, all the expensive options ticked like Ultra High Fidelity audio, carbon fibre everything, 22kW AC charging, CCS upgrade, etc.

Ferrari performance with initial outlay and even total cost of ownership likely less than a new Toyota Corolla 😁
