@mjciavarella Yes, a bit of a daytime hunt the other day. I was surprised to find one left!

@Teggy79 Very nice.. local find?

I’ve been waiting for this since I knew Hotwheels were going to release it a few months back! I have to say, it does not disappoint in the flesh. Looks fantastic!

@mowital That was definitely the main pain point, plus the lack of range. Tesla claim just over 500km fully charged for this model, but the most I saw was 395 and this car is only 12 months old so I wouldn’t expect too much battery degradation yet

@Teggy79 Very interesting on your experience. I’ve not tried an electric vehicle, but the charging issues are the concern for me. I can’t imagine waiting around a shopping centre or servo whilst it charges. To think you need to watch using the heater etc, is crazy.

Possibly a bit of a thread on EVs…….. Sorry! I borrowed a Tesla Model 3 Performance for a few days to try living with one for a bit as I’ve been extremely skeptical of the ‘EV revolution’. I just used it to do my normal daily duties

@matthewellis97 It should be about 200km, but it does depend on what you’re using accessory wise. I used 21% charge in 51km the day I picked it up because I needed heating, lights, wipers. I didn’t dare use the heated seats or steering wheel though 😁

@Teggy79 What would the remaining distance be on 58%?

I know people will tell me ‘blah blah blah you didn’t do this, you should have done that (well they would if anyone listened to my crap) but I used it how I do my normal car and I spent more time worrying about how much charge I had left than anything else. It didn’t work for me.

Things I didn’t like: It looks boring Controls that should be easily accessible are in menus and sub menus via the touchscreen The interior feels cheap and slightly poorly put together. The range - I was shocked how quickly it disappeared Charging - what a debacle that is
