Company car drivers…
Spoke to at least 6 sales droids who have replaced their cars over the last year, 2 were given the choice of electric or nothing, 4 had electric as a choice along with their usual indicator-less Audi/BMW models.
All 6 chose Tesla M3. All 6 said it was great that the BiK was buttons saving them thousands, with a small mention of the supercharging network. Only one was unhappy – but he was one of those who didn’t have a choice, he wanted his usual Q5.
Our facilities manager just got a company Tesla M3 (we outsource to Mitie) He’s had A6 estates for as long as I can remember. Last I heard it was not something he was going to do…but, £’s saved swayed him.
He travels regularly between his home in Ayrshire to Aberdeen to work. Has to stop to charge on the way as his Tesla won’t make it. I expressed my shock as they should manage around 180-200 miles at 70. He said he sets off at 95mph till Glasgow, then slows to 78 for the average speed camera areas – tops up in Perth. He will not go below 50-70 miles range – it panics him too much.
My workplace fitted a charger for him – staff are not allowed to use it…grrrr.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
