Tesla Model 3 - V4.0

Seems extremely high to me too. We chatted about the Qashqai I'm selling for work colleague on another thread, 1.5 diesel top spec with 140k kms and 12k would be ambitious for that.

I presume thats worth more than a year older Ateca?

Hardly worth the hassle for 1500 extra if that’s all the private market will pay extra.

Selling privately and buying from Tesla is complicated as it’s difficult to plan when Tesla will deliver your car to time your private sale to avoid being 6 weeks car less or even up owning 2 cars at the same time and trying to faff around with insurance policies between 2 cars.

Insurance companies really need some dragging in. They have all the cars stacked in their favour and we can do SFA!

I was rear ended 10 years ago. Clean cut, no fault, other insurance company admitted liability, but my insurance was higher for 5 years after and long after damages were settled. My policy wasn't openly loaded, but the quotes were always far higher with the accident listed, if they quoted at all.

I have the same crap now. Some góbshite rear ended me last year. Damage settled. No no open claims. Now when getting quotes under my Wifes policy, as soon as my accident is announced, the quotes stop. I couldn't put myself as a named driver on my Daughters policy because of it. Come renewal, i'll be shafted.

My Wifes has moved from a Nissan Leaf to a Model S 75D and the quotes have gone from a typical 5-600 to over a grand and far beyond. Her renewal on the car is thankfully around the 600 mark, but some insurers either refuse to quote on Teslas, or make you pay an Elon tax. Imagine how many @Larbre34 types we have manning the phones when you ring for a quote on your Tesla 😏

Another recent one. We took out a policy for my daughter on our Leaf so she could keep practising for her test. The Y and S are just too large for her to learn in and her test date was imminent, so we shelled out just under 2 grand for a telematics policy with Aviva and were told to contact them once she passed her test. We assumed it was for a discount/re-evaluation, as that was always how I understood it to be. She passed her test and the full license arrived this week. Not 2 weeks had passed between taking the policy and passing the test, but they gave no discount on the policy. I thought that was atrocious. Why ask her to call up when she passed her test, if not to make an adjustment on the price? The driver number is unchanged, so they don't need to update that.

Insurance companies are just scum.

I am 10 months into ownership. 40k done.

71 percent free charging at work (64 plus 7 percent other below before I had set it as the work location).

Diesel would have been 4k ish in that time (below not accurate)

Aside from cost it’s just a nice drive and would never go back to petrol/diesel.

My round trip commute is 240km and standard range can do it with ease.
