    Fisker ocean - UK forum

    Wow. Thanks for sharing. On point one even, the car should be taken off the road. It’s not safe. Finance company should take the car back and be reasonable in sorting the implications.

    Daft Liverpool decision to ban EVs from car park

    Blame the local fire brigade. They advised on the matter.

    Octopus Founders - a little thankyou from Octopus

    I can’t understand people complaining about this. It’s a lovely gesture. Kids loved the octopus. Good on ya Octopus and many thanks.

    EU Cybertruck?

    May as well get my deposit back then :(

    EU Cybertruck?

    Can it be sold here? Even with a rubbish ncap score. But I suppose other legislative reasons. It’s it over 3.5t also? Maybe they make a euro version. Unlikely I guess. Why tour it if it never happens here. Strange. Will take a look at one:

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    That’s serious depreciation

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    I would definitely consider the new 3P…. But again, not at these finances. Any chance of the CT coming over here at all? Rather that then anything. Actually I think they still have my £100 haha

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    Yeh. Cherry red would look amazing

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    on reflection, I far preferred my 3 to my Y. Yes the Y is more practical but just not fun to drive. This 3P looks really decent. Proper differentiation from the LR. I would be tempted, but not at that price and finance. If it ever comes down I will take a look. Also would prefer the posh red...

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Haha no, there is an absolutely huge ‘sound box’ that makes an extremely loud engine sound. Takes up the entire under boot

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    Hi. Loving our Abarth 500e. Kids far prefer it than the etron GT and always choose the 500. Super impressed. Highly recommend the Fiat boot net. It’s expensive but a great way to store the cable when space is on the low side.

    Thinking of selling

    Have you had offers on it? Might be better to keep it longer.

    At least the infotainment has been updated. Much needed. Wife’s etron GT infotainment is like going back in time a decade. Good job CarPlay works well. Tesla are still miles ahead.

    Did many Oceans come to the UK? Might be a second hand bargain if you’re not bothered about warranty and support

    actually his video has completely screwed my recommendations on YouTube. He’s everywhere.

    I will summarise videos in future, provide a transcript too, drawing attention to the areas of particular interest. Perhaps a critical analysis would assist also?

    Hi. My screen comes on after unlocking. Although the options are all over the place, I can’t remember seeing anything that would keep the screen off until you touch something. I can’t see a way to turn lights off too haha. Perhaps someone can help us both here! Yeh charging is basic! I...

    Was always going to happen. EV market having a huge wobble.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    That’s some horror story. I would have been inclined to walk away, but appreciate it’s not that easy. It’s currently very much a buyers market for EVs so it’s easy to get a good price at a decent dealer.

    Residuals / Depreciation

    I agree. However, £40k for 3 year old car that cost £120k is pretty crazy. Must be uncharted territory for Porsche. Strange times indeed.

    Finally getting second EV - any hints?

    I’ve just got an ex demo Abarth 500e. £16k off list price with less than £2k miles on and less than 6 months old. Still a couple of launch cars on autotrader at decent prices. I think you could get more off. They aren’t selling at all. It’s been absolutely fantastic. So much fun to drive. Car...

    Residuals / Depreciation

    Regarding Tesla’s, I wouldn’t assume WBAC are the ‘absolute minimum’ offered compared to other methods of selling. My recent experience trying to sell a Y was that WBAC was the same as everywhere. From an owning the car outright perspective, I really struggled to shift the Y. Part ex- dealers...

    [UK] What we already knew - EV misinformation in press - it’s not gone unnoticed

    I’ve never set foot in a petrol station in over 4 years. Grim places even before you factor in the prices. Plug in at home. Sleep. That’s reason enough for me to switch to electric. I don’t think Tesla are all that now though. But won’t ever go back to petrol.

    Motorway never said why the bids were all cancelled. I will try elsewhere.

    I had but the sale has been cancelled 4 times now by dealers. Maybe just unlucky. Never had a problem before.

    £13k off a 6 month old Abarth 500e. Less than 2,000 miles ex demo. Some hit.

    Tesla Alternative?

    I was in one of these as an Uber in Olso a couple of weeks ago. Looked amazing inside. Apart from the crazy ‘cute’ digital assistant on the dashboard. That was odd Anecdotally I find it interesting that those who have had a couple of Tesla’s are now moving away from them.

    Trade in Values from Tesla (& other dealers)

    Motorway bidders are pulling out of Y purchases. But of course you’re still going to get the ‘Tesla’s depreciate as much as any other car’ bollox. I’ve never NOT been able to sell a car before.

    Model 3P resale prices

    You’re expecting £33k for it?!

    Trade in Values from Tesla (& other dealers)

    Exactly this. Pointless having all this cash tied up in a car. I’ve over £30k in the bank now. Of course the depreciation is at its worst point most likely but I can’t see things improving. Any price drop on a whim from Tesla won’t help matters either. It’s doesnt mater what they are listed...

    Trade in Values from Tesla (& other dealers)

    Well I’ve sold my Y. Less than 2 years old and it’s shed nearly £25k. Cash buying a Tesla is complete madness. Won’t be doing that again. Probs won’t have a Tesla again. It’s not been all bad though. Screen/tech is far better than anything on the road. That will be missed. Now the family has...

    Tesla Alternative?

    I wouldn’t be too bothered about one pedal driving. Switching between my Y and the wife’s etron GT is a completely different experience but neither is ‘better’. Maybe preference. I don’t mind ‘braking’ in the GT as much as I thought I would. Side note, the GT makes a crazy ‘whirring’ noise...

    Macan looks great. Makes the Y look pretty stale. Add £10k of options though. Y price drop coming?
