Macan -> Model 3

[cc3]

I wouldn’t consider any car made in China. Why would I want to give more of my money to that regime. Dreadful human rights record. My wife has a Mini Electric but we won’t buy the replacement for that very reason production being moved to China. More jobs being lost as well.

So, does that mean you don’t buy ANY goods manufactured in China?? Lol!!

Read what I said before making assumptions. And yes I try to limit what I buy. Why wear something that has been produced by forced Uyghur labour. Instead of laughing suggest you educate yourself.

Great report Goron on your Model 3 experience to date. Be interesting to hear your thoughts as you put on more mileage.

The Tesla charging points are still a huge advantage over the public network. As more EVs get on the road, then charging and costs will be a critical part of new owner take-up.

It is a worry on just how increasingly reliant we are on electricity generation and infrastructure.

Glad you are happy so far

I can see the whole electric car thing going the same way as the diesel car push - a big cock up!

The Tesla makes sense on many levels but they’re so uninspiring to look at and they’re as common as a Ford Fiesta nowadays. I love the fact that every time I see my car it brings a smile to my face. It looks awesome and it sounds awesome. I have an electric runaround for the uneconomical local driving, and when I give up my V8 I’d at least like to replace it with something that brings similar joy.

I’m sure the 3 is a great car, and Tesla have played a massive role on bringing E vehicles into the mainstream, but for many of us emotion still plays a part in car buying. You can’t even begin to compare the looks of a Tesla with that of a Taycan for example and once all the mainstream manufacturers catch up then I can see Tesla’s market share here declining rapidly.

Excellent unbiased review Goron, been a while since we have had the pleasure of your input.

Understand the sentiment but to suggest that OP needs educating

Do some people struggle to read properly these days! Must be Chinese made glasses? Where did I say the OP needs educating ? Ever worked in China? If you had you might have your eyes opened. Yes Chinese products are everywhere but you can still make sensible balanced choices. As an aside to human rights issues why support manufacturers who wish to switch jobs from the west to China? It’s your kids and grandkids futures going down the drain.
