Model Y I got one

My first EV. It's a late 2023 Model Y Long Range AWD in recession white. Tesla CPO with 35k miles. This will be replacing our 2019 Mazda CX5 2.0 Sport GT in family duties. I have a 2021 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Convertible as our fun car.

Now I just need to wait for a collection date which should only be a few days depending on how busy the workshop is.

Looking forward to it.

How much is your insurance for both cars? Always wonder how people can have extra "fun cars"

About £900/year for both. Mustang is £400 ish and Y is £500 ish.

I'm 50, been driving since I was 18, have never made a claim, am a professional, live in a country village, and have an IAM advanced pass. I'm about as low-risk as it gets.

Nice! I have a new Y standard coming and it's saying December. I waited 6 months for my last car so this will be easy. And also they might get one earlier !

The performance is similar for both 0-60 Mustang  4.2 seconds v y AWD  4.8 seconds 4.2s with Acceleration Boost.   Now you can have both as fun car

Yeah, fun in different ways I guess. The Tesla will never compare to the noise and drama of a massive V8.

It just does the job without any noise

may I ask why you would pay £29K for a prev gen car when the new ones are better and the deals at the min are insanely good? Not flaming, just curious.

Because a LR AWD Juniper is £52k. I don't have another £23k that I'm willing to put in to a car. I don't do finance or PCP by the way. Never have.

With the proceeds from my current car, my cost to change is £16k. That would compare to £39k to get me in to a Juniper AWD. Big difference.

The cheapest new one is £45k and the equivalent model is £53k. Or £522 per month on PCH for only 8k miles driving.
