I have a Tesla 3, picked it up in May. It’s a company car so the company installed a charge point at the house also. We also have charge points at work so I have hardly had to pay anything since I picked it up.

it’s a great drive and incredible power but you need a totally different mentality when planning journeys etc so ad hoc days to the seaside have to be carefully planned! We went to see my Da in Scotland and charged twice on route. I got my Cov to Cumbria on one charge and thanks to the tesla super chargers it was back to full in 45mins. Other chargers can take 9 hours. Cost me about 25 quid for the journey each way and had plenty in the battery. It would have cost me circa 60 in my diesel.

Isnt that what Prescott had? Is there any actual boot space?

If the car is metano then I think the boot space is practically non-existant, I’ve only ever seen it in small cars that has been converted from petrol though, so not sure how it works.

My car was converted into LPG and the tank is where the spare tyre should be so i keep it in the boot but there’s still a decent amount of space.

Ive heard about hybrid metano and LPG cars but never actually seen or been in one.

The one I have starts with petrol but then changes to LPG. There are a lot of ‘metano’ cars - methane.

Isn't that seven times worse than CO2?

It’s fine but I also have the benefit of getting them changed for free!
