Hmm...
Nice colour...
And what about a "WMD" plate?
I have V8, V12 and W12 in the WMD's... not sure they'd work. I quite like the moderately anonymous plate it has.
It's a Model 3 Long Range with a performance upgrade, so around 3.5 0-60 which feels quick enough. My Range Rover costs around £130 to fill up and has around the same range as this, which costs £6 at home to fill or free on Superchargers. Doesn't need servicing or road tax. I have only done 35 miles, but it was quick.
What is a WMD plate?
If mother nature had decided to write off my Octavia instead of my Silvia I could have been tempted to replace it with a Tesla Model 3. I really should have a test drive one day.
£130 to fill up compared to £6 is very impressive however comparing running costs doesn't make the Tesla in Australia as impressive as it appears in other countries.
Octavia generally gets 800km from 50 litres meaning 6.25L/100km at $1.30 per litre = $8.125 per 100km
Tesla 3 uses 16kwh per 100km from what I have read but I think fun driving makes it more, electricity costs $0.23 from the grid or $0.52 from Tesla Super charger and then there is the $0.25 per KM state tax for electric cars.
100km charged at home = $3.68 + $2.50 = $6.18 per 100km
100km charged at super charger = $8.32 + $2.50 = $10.82 per 100km
So while 90% of the time I would charge from home as I have a garage and would install the charger it actually costs more per 100km to drive the Tesla than the Octavia if I had to use a super charger.
