Smelt and sounded like diesel was a nice puff of black smoke as it turned on.
was curious quote for me on seal is ~1K , vs quotes I'd had for teslastd3/id7/capri280/i435 850/500/500/700 so I would't ever contemplate a tesla, or seal now;
this had explained to me why tesla sell into fleet, contributing to depreciation they have - held hostage by underwiters.
Quotes were around £558 for the Excellence and £433 for the Design versions..

Pretty much nothing in the grand scheme of things then.
Car choice paralysis by analysis : Authored by jpaul
I test drove one (AWD version) I immediately ordered so it's safe to say I was impressed. It's definitely worth having a drive. I read somewhere about the insurance, that the BYD were more likely to be written off in an accident due to lack of experience generally in repairing them. Whether or not this is true or even makes sense I don't know. I ordered mine through the Tusker scheme at work and it was about 20-25% cheaper (I can't remember exactly) than an equivalent i4 (which is also a very nice car) so I suspect the manufacturer are really pushing to get them out the door by offering big discounts. I would guess having a good shop around would be worth it.
I doubt there's enough experience/data of either the brand or the particular model yet really so the insurance is probably quite high as they are pricing in the unknowns/risk factor
These https://www.aviva.co.uk/insurance/motor/electric-car-insurance/electric-vehicles/ gave me a quote of £293:for a 2025 i4 40...

My EC4 Citroen insurance was £387.59 with Aviva and is due for re-newel in July, C4 has been around a while now, mine is around 14months old and has 2200 miles, i don't do much driving now and I have found the C4 electric to be perfect for me, have my own charger at home and get around 220 miles when fully charged.It is for a year and I put in 13 years NCB

Unfortunately I'm not looking at recommendations for what car to purchase, the Citroën is too slow for me as well..

410,000 Miles on a Hyundai IONIQ 5: How Did the Battery Hold Up?
A Hyundai IONIQ 5 has made headlines after clocking over 410,000 miles (660,000 kilometers) in just three years—without a single major issue. To dive deeper into this incredible story, the owner and an engineer from the Hyundai Motor Group Battery Development Center sat down for a closer look.
There’s been articles floating around about various Tesla’s for many years but that is a sample of 1 manufacturer.
It’s good that some other manufacturers cars are getting up to these high mileages and being publicised.
Ultimately it’s a positive thing to help dispel the narrative that you’ll need to replace the battery after a few years and not very many miles that people still genuinely believe because the likes of Clarkson said it on top gear over a decade ago.
