Not all are no. But some are.

Tyres. Servicing.
Sure if you are buying something like a Porsche Tycan. But these Chinese cars, Teslas etc are nothing special. Cheap plastics and fake leather, janky software etc.

It saves turning into someone like you. Thats priceless.
Is that a EV thing. I think you are confusing the make of a car with its powertrain whilst on your anti EV rant. Isn’t there another thread you can read and just ignore this one. You don’t add anything of value
lol unusually I watched a carwow video yesterday specifically because it discussed diesels and tesla 3,
which confirmed my appreciation of 3 series estate flexibility.

isnt this an argument about new car vs old car? i mean, the argument, its cheaper to run an old car into the ground is (almost) always going to win over getting a new car .
But some people actually want to drive a new car......... and I for one am glad they do because if no one buys new cars there will be no older cars to filter down to the used car market..
All that said, how anyone cant admit that £350net cost for a new car fully maintained with dirt cheap charging if done at home isnt really cheap i do not know. It just screams of ulterior motives to me.

Did you work out how the rear glass window opened too on your quest for real life stuff?

hang on..................... so the heavy EV which is apparently the cause of ruining our roads and causing car parks to be in danger of collapsing because of their insane weight is LIGHTER than a diesel BMW and over £10k cheap as well?
you dont read that in the daily express... i wonder why!.
so much crap coming out of that exhaust.

Which could easily be zero over a 3 year lease of an electric car - even if it does need a service it won't be much. Unless you are a high mileage company car driver I think most people get limited financial benefit from a maintained lease.
The main benefit of a fully inclusive package would seem to be the insurance as she is a new driver.

£500 gross is dirt cheap. That is nil deposit, paid before tax and NI, including insurance. And my wife is a new driver so still in the £1k+ insurance renewal bracket.

Yes fair, I assumed it was net.
Yet there are big trucks, lorries and buses using the same roads everyday which are so much heavier than and car don't do any harm? I've thrown that at them a few times and they can never answer after that.

Unless it's a Range Rover, the warranty expiring is no big deal
Yeh, but some of these EVs do chew through tyres, I'm pretty steady on mine and 17k miles its on the 3mm indicators. colleagues have needed new rears on i4 M50s before 10k miles

And yet he buys one as an experienced BMW owner not some keyboard gobshizer
