I have to say that I would quite like to have a Tesla. They look good, run on electricity and are comfortable.
Unfortunately my views on cars are that even from the first one I had it is cheaper to sit in my lounge and burn five pound notes than own one.
Run of the mill cars never appreciate in value, always require maintenance and breakdown at the most inconvenient times. Only the rarest go up in value and you dare not drive them to put up the mileage.
Tesla's are IMHO expensive, their range appears to be somewhat overstated and their comfort is probably only valued when waiting in a queue for recharging.
In retirement I am less reliant on a car for everyday use and am unlikely to spend my grandchildren's house deposit to buy a Tesla.
Upon reflection, I have to say that I am unlikely to buy a Tesla any time soon if indeed at all.

I dont suppose I will buy a Tesla, or one of the decent looking electric cars in the above post, either. Although if I was younger I would probably be considering solar panels, a battery, heat pump, and an EV. At my age I am not sure I would live long enough to reach the break even point.

When we replace our current car, we'll go elec. I'm just hoping that a better car than a Tesla comes along.
