EV general discussion

The Model Y L is now available in the US and Asia Pacific (inc. RHD e.g. Australia), the EU and UK can't be far away. It has 423 miles WLTP vs the 391 miles the longest-range 'regular' version has here.

It will be interesting how well it does here, as it is a genuine 6/7 seater and only $6k(AU) over the regular AWD long range Y.

government give subsidies for flat management companies to install chargers - council might need to restrict access if they are on some kind of parking permits
without dedicated spaces.

I'm in a similar boat. Motorway are quoting £25k for my 140i (top spec, low miles). With a max deposit of 18k, monthlies are £270 or so for a premium AWD Model Y. So if I used the BMW money too, I'd have two years of payments covered.

residuals on the Y, versus a desirable 140, still need to offset the reduced running cost

63kwh version but yeh thats a lot of car for the money. Someone will be happy.

Yeah, 3m wheelbase, 220kW peak charging - 10 to 80% in 18 min.
