gangzoom Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 But doesn't arrive till Feb 2017 £ dropping like a rock against the $ has 'forced' my hand in ordering the Leaf replacement early. So everything been ok, this will be replacing the Leaf in Feb 2017....It's going to be a long long wait . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeW Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 wow thats a good looking car, just need the 'front reg plate petition' to pass to keep that front end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I actually think it needs a front plate, front end looks like its missing something in the middle with that big flat piece of plastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) ^^I haven't actually seen a face lifted Model S in the flesh!! But I've been told that it looks really good in the metal, and with/without the plate looks better than the pre-face lift car. It will look identical to this one, minus the black wheels Edited June 24, 2016 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, maybe a new front bumper with a nice big grille in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nice cars , we were very impressed with the P85d but just doesnt work out financially for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetirider575 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Fabulous - I drove one last week, as I've got my £1000 down for one of the Model 3's. Brilliant car, great to drive. Not a replacement for the Zed tho... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetirider575 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Oh and by the way - the rate rebates for buying through a business are crazily good at the moment - entire first year leasing payments back up to £20k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeg33 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nice looking car but the interior wasn't to my liking when I sat in one last weekend. Don't like the flat screen monitor mounted in the center console.....looks very weird. But overall, nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetirider575 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I liked the big screen in practice - turns out it wasn't too distracting, and in only a 45 min drive I got used to flicking quickly through the settings and options for steering wheel feel and stuff.

yetirider575 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 @gangzoom - I see you didn't go for the Autopilot... Having the car change lanes on a motorway without your hands on the wheel not to your taste ha ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddyZed Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Does look decent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) @gangzoom - I see you didn't go for the Autopilot... Having the car change lanes on a motorway without your hands on the wheel not to your taste ha ha Yeah not bothered about autopilot, but would like the hardware, pre-crash avoidance, and lane departure warning etc all comes standard with the hardware, and if I really really wanted auto-pilot later I can activate it later by paying Tesla. Also have the option to 'add on' another 15kWh of battery range at a later date. Was tempted by a used 24 months old pre-face lift P85+ but it's not any cheaper than a new 60D, and the only real advantage is 0-60 time (4.2 seconds versus 5.2 seconds), but the new car will be better built, AWD, with longer battery warranty and autopilot hardware. Cannnot wait....Might even bring the delivery date forwards if I get really impatient, the Leaf can always be parked up in the garage. .

LRF4N Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Gangzoom bought a tesla?? didn't see that one coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Found a better picture of a white one with 21inch wheels...Looks pretty damn sweet. Tempted now to dump AWD option, up the battery size, which will give me an excuse to get some 21inch wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
