Took an Uber in a Tesla Model 3. Driver absolutely hates it.
He's been forced to buy an electric car by Transport for London. His previous vehicle was > 8 yrs old (lol, buying new cars for the environment 🙃)
Main issues:
- Expensive car
- Spends 1.5 hrs of his day travelling to and waiting at a Tesla super charger
- Used to cost him 28p per KWh, now 64p per KWh - almost more per mile than a petrol car
- Always worrying about his range. When he had a petrol car he could just ask a customer to wait 5 min while he refuelled, but no way he can ask them to wait 45 min while he recharges.
- Battery deteriorates by almost 5% range every year
