As they wane in popularity, they may end up here – after all, Motability is usually where the more unpopular cars go to die…lol.
They have ridden the wave of popularity of EV’s for company car drivers, after all, a Model 3 long range RWD is only £16 a month. The previous fav. , the A4/A5 is around £450. So it was a no brainer. Teslas were popular because of the range, supercharger network, the availability of the cars and, at the time, a lack of competition. Somehow they have also managed to appear to be equal to “premium” manufacturers – possibly on the back of the S & X models.
EG. roll back to 2021, Facilities Manager at our Facilities Management outsourced firm, always had a company A4 Avant, decided, due to the huge cash saving, to go electric. His company scheme choices? an ID3 (12 month waiting list), Niro (7 month wait) or Model 3 SR (immediate delivery). He went Tesla. Didn’t really like it, but stuck with it for the huge £5000 a year saving.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
