Thanks, figured as much. I can't charge at home but my mileage is low so a "full charge" would last me weeks, and there's finally some decent charging options appearing at supermarkets, shopping centres etc around where I live/visit so I think it'd be easy enough to live with.

I'd be buying outright, my employer offers an EV salary sacrifice scheme but the R5 is rather pricey on there at the moment. The BMW i4 eDrive35 M Sport us cheaper per month, for example. I wouldn't normally ever consider buying a new car but the R5 has done something funny to my brain, common sense will likely kick back in at some point though.

I'll likely wait and see what nearly-new R5 prices are like later in the year once the initial hype has quelled, at this point my shortlist is between that or a SEAT Leon.

The fuel cost will be more than ICE and public charging is inconvenient. Are you going to be saving any money if you look at total cost?
 
Well Elon is not making many friends..

We parked up in Stow-on-the-Wold on the weekend in the Model Y, nicely within our bay, all fine and dandy..

Got back to the car and noticed loads of security events, which seemed odd as the bay was out the way with no reason to go near the car.. however, on reviewing the footage we had a car park in a bay behind us which was perpendicular to our bay, and the owner gets out, opens their boot, takes a small suitcase out, and marches over to our Model Y and whacks it against the bumper, then sets it down resting against our bumper.. he goes back to his car, then comes back and does a jig with his suitcase against our bumper, then takes it back to his car, puts it in the boot and goes off for 10 mins, comes back, and drives off..

When I was looking at what looked like almost nothing, he'd cleaned off a load of dirty slush, but no real scratches, someone came over and apologised they saw this guy doing it but hadn't taken his number plate down.. apparently he had a few choice words about Elon and Tesla whilst trying to get his suitcase to mate with our bumper..

The most bizarre thing I've ever seen or encountered..

I’m more impressed you managed to find parking there. It is January I suppose…

That’s the fourth weirdest thing I’ve seen or read today.
