Pragmatic Electric

With my daily driver, a Tesla Model 3, approaching 200,000k and 5 years old, I talk about range loss I've experienced and other things about EVs including an update on EVs rising popularity in Australia since I bought mine in 2021.

In August 2024 my Model 3 developed a suspected drive-train related fault and I was given a loan vehicle for a week while it was under repair. I'd never driven a Model S before and with a week and many kilometers to travel, I had a good chance to get a feel for the 100D vs my SR+ and in this episode we continue to look at specification differences, likes and dislikes and answer the question...would I buy one?
