Every new Tesla I have seen has had swirled paintwork.

Agreed. We bought a 500e; absolutely no need to deal directly with the dealer to get a hassle free purchase at an extremely competitive price.

Treating customers with contempt tends to prove quite a short-term business model.

Whilst not universal, many policies specify that you need to inform the insurer if an offence is committed..

Did you tell your insurer when these were 'awarded'? It's a common policy requirement.

You say 'interesting'?!?!?!?

If the scratches are through the clear coat, that is not going to buff out!!!! For a decent quality respray, I'd expect ~£1000.

I don't doubt that batteries degrade over time and that there are a number of variable which impact the rate at which this occurs. Is it not the case that 'calendar' aging happens whatever (we can't stop time!) and other factors - temperature, state of charge the battery is held at for...

What evidence do you have for this assertion?

Indeed so. But my abacus keeps appreciating whilst my computer plumets in value.

There is a lot to be said for running a nice old analogue ICE which can be fixed with a hammer if it goes wrong...

Even with a remote purchase, you have time to reject the car under UK law.

But this would be your 'biggest' concern with a low mileage car when there it is quite straightforward to get a handle on battery health?!?!

Errrrr......what?!?!? Ignoring the fact that '100 degree heat' is quite a rare thing in the UK, I am really struggling to understand why you believe this to be the number one concern when buying a low mileage EV?!?

Apologies...you are quite right. https://global.honda/en/heritage/episodes/19874ws.html#:~:text=At%20the%20end%20of%201977,wheel%20steering%20(4WS)%20system.
