This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

The LKAS works really well on long distance driving on well defined roads (like motorways and national roads). And active cruise control is just very handy in busy traffic, like on the M50. I never used cruise control much in previous cars until I got ACC. Really miss my autonomous driving as I had it in my Ioniq. But I'll get it back one day
An early Tesla Model S with AP1 costs about GBP4k more than a car without it. That's a lot of money for it, far more than I would be willing to pay.0 -

I’d be of a similar mindset. I don’t do enough driving to justify it.
But I would pay the extra for a P model over a non P model so I suppose it’s horses for courses as there’s people that wouldn’t see the appeal of the P model too.0 -

Decent price for a car on Irish plates, but solid white is not a good colour. But sure if you like it and if you're going to keep it for a long time, who cares.
That's a bit of an exaggeration
First of all only a small minority of cars had to have the MCU1 replaced. We all know the reason: excessive data logging wears down the flash memory. This excessive data logging has long since been stopped with a software update, so the chances of getting this problem have reduced dramatically
And if it does happen, there are indy companies in the UK that can fix it for around the EUR500 mark
But sure, use it as a negotiating chip to get another grand or two off
I’ve spoken to two UK based Rangers and both said they consider MSU1 as a consumable item and it’s a matter of when. Their words not mine, suffice to say I’m a happy camper mine was replaced this year, for me that’s peace of mind.
The “fix” is £500 plus travel/hassle and can only be done proactively, if it goes the “fix” cannot be performed and you’re left with Tesla to sort itMy stuff for sale on Adverts inc. EDDI, hot water cylinder, roof rails...

I'm glad I have the guts of 2 years warranty left from Tesla too
That said, the MCU1 issue wouldn't scare me. And yes I would go the UK route if it went on me - would get 4G upgrade too for an additional hundred quid - rather than handing Tesla Ireland over €3k do do a lesser job!0 -

But if it goes on you you can’t go the Indy route AFAIK, the Indy fix requires a fully working MCU as they copy existing data and replace the memory chip. If the MCU is already dead then they can’t do their copy so you’re off to Tesla, only “benefit” if it goes for us Unkel is by then it will be an upgrade fix to MCU2 albeit with some loss of features eg FM radio goes
You're being overly pessimistic for the people without warranty and overly optimistic for the people with warranty again
MCU1 issue is not a sudden death, you can see it coming for quite some time. Artifacts, having to reboot it, etc.
And there is no way Tesla will replace a broken MCU1 under warranty free of charge with a brand new MCU2. If only!0 -

If mine goes I’m screwing my screen into your car and off to Tesla with yis 0 -

Both have a usable capacity of not much more than 20kWh, both are inefficient and both have a similar range. 150km from either car, in your dreams!
ha yeah - just watching a UK lads youtube video on batteries and charging - 22kw battery zoe does apparently 100miles (160kms) in summer on full charge - worse case, in the winter just 65 miles (104kms) - they didnt do very long range did they
and that was most probably from new, so gord knows how much a used 2015 one might do!0 -
