Petrolhead to a M3 RWD… never thought I’d be saying this 😂
I’ve always been a massive petrolhead. My daily has been a 2014 Mercedes CLA 220d that was running a Stage 1 map and I genuinely loved it. I’ve always been into cars, noise, torque, modifications… so an EV was never really on my radar.
Then I heard about the recent Model 3 RWD PCH offer and thought I’d at least go and test drive one. Safe to say… I was completely blown away.
The instant torque, how planted it felt, the technology, the simplicity and how refined it was completely changed my opinion.
I ordered one on 25th June and completed the finance application today, which was accepted straight away. 2 year,10k, 12 month down and the figures on lex Autolease were a bit different to what was on the Tesla website Delivery is currently showing September, so now the wait begins!
This will also be my first ever EV, so I’m sure there’s loads I don’t know yet.
A few questions for existing owners:
- What are your biggest tips or tricks for a new owner?
- Any settings I should change straight away?
- Any accessories that are genuinely worth buying?
I don’t have a home charger yet. I do have two Tesla Superchargers within about a 10-minute drive, plus plenty of other public chargers nearby. Is living without home charging as inconvenient as people make out or is it manageable?
Anything you wish someone had told you before you took delivery?
Looking forward to joining the club! 😄
