EV general discussion

If driving for work, if you are doing random routes then its trickier, but if you are seeing the same clients (seems wrong to say that now that ive read the rent boy comment :p) then its way easier. For every 300mile plus trip i do, i have 2 or 3 fast chargers earmarked. ive been fortunate, tesla networks have appeared on all my routes!

Yeah for me it could be anyone of hundreds of customers any time from Plymouth to Inverness (or NI). Our current bean counter is also super tight on expenses rules. It put him in a cold sweat that his predecessor used to claim the VAT back on all my fuel and didn't try to calculate what percentage of each tank was for private use (and therefore paid back to the company by me) and subtract that from the claim! Even when I was public sector they didn't worry about that.

As such I'll be on HMRC rate whatever the scenario so if that is a 1200 mile round trip to Inverness via a few other customers that is going to sting a bit. Admittedly that is a once a year scenario normally but trips often total 700+ miles. At least the HMRC rate is a bit better now I guess.

Ultimately the tax man and senior management will steer my decision either way as they have for the last 12 years!

Enforced after his last tantrum in here because I dared post in the EV thread despite not owning one.

In fairness, I don't recall @turbot1984 claiming all EVs were crap originally, only that he won't be interested in getting another.

Yes, I've never said that, just that my two year stint with an i4 wasn't a great experience so I went back to petrol and am now much happier. I hope all current EV owners DO enjoy ownership.
Yes, it does get a bit negative, time for a joke ......

Since buying it, I've had around a dozen people make comments.

I had one scruffy looking twonk shout at me when I was driving with my window open.. "NAZI"
That was fun.

Oh and another chap keyed it near my kids swimming lessons.

People are just jelly of things they don't or cannot own.

It was getting so bad in the US that owners were removing the Tesla badges and replacing them with another manufacturer, even to Chrysler ffs.

The best quip I've had about my Seal is that it's a "Temu Taycan" :cry:.

However, when China consummates it's marriage with Russia and asserts world dominance I might have to debadge my Seal and put on Tesla badges :D.
