At 3:30am on 1st April 2016 I was sat up in bed, refreshing a stubbornly unresponsive web page. five thousand miles west, it was early evening in California as well as still the last day of March.
Tesla had opened reservations for their new design 3 before the introduce event had kicked off. even though no details, or even a photograph of the new cars and truck had been released, I was bashing away at my keyboard trying to put down a £1,000 deposit to reserve a location in the queue for one.
Rewind to The Noughties
To comprehend what brought me to this point we requirement to rewind a bit.
I had always treated EVs with a big serving of scepticism, I even keep in mind having a chuckle to myself when the Nissan leaf was launched. who would ever drive such a thing. as well as anyway, definitely they just moved emissions from the tailpipe to the power stations.
As a verified petrol head I had filled the very first decade of the new millennium with a couple of Japanese rally replicas as well as one of BMW’s M cars. All excellent fun, entertaining driving with incredibly charismatic interior combustion engines.
By 2009 younger exuberance had provided method to a browse for comfort as well as household practicality as well as I spent the next five years in a German SUV. towards the end of my time with the X5, my like for new innovation had piqued my rate of interest in the BMW i3 as well as so 2013 was the year I took my very first test drive in a full battery EV.
While I was still extremely much in the sceptic phase it was absolutely an eye opener, particularly in the performance department. Looking back, whether I understood it consciously or not, this was the point that I stopped sniggering at EVs as well as knew they were the future.
1st Teslas I saw in the flesh (NYC, April 2015)
By 2014 the X5 had been replaced with one more big SUV, however after around a year of ownership I was feeling progressively uneasy about the environmental effect of driving such a monster oil burner.
By 2015 whatever I was reading was directed towards an dissatisfied ending for diesels too. It was remove that even if a certain carbon tax wasn’t going to be introduced in the UK anytime soon, the economics were going to be agonizing in the future.
There was (and still is) so much FUD surrounding EVs as well as renewable energy as well as I wished to get the truth. I can heartily suggest this book (plus this a lot more recent one on air quality) if you want to checked out some facts yourself.
Nincs visszaút
So this brings us to early 2016, back where we came in, putting that design 3 reservation.
While 2013 had been the year that the seed had been planted, 2016 was the year that my cognitive dissonance had well as well as genuinely worked itself with to a resolution as well as I began to act on my intuition.
April was the month I had put down my money on the design 3 as well as I was craving a long time (my very first time) in a Tesla. So I booked a location for the next test drive day in Belfast that July.
Even though I understood it was going to be years before I got my Tesla all I might believe of was getting the modifications underway as well as in the autumn of that year I pulled the activate on a 4kWp solar variety at the Automated Home.
Just a few weeks later I offered the variety Rover, still getting a respectable cost for it (before the diesel hit the fan) as I altered to a somewhat different vehicle. I leased a 24 kWh Nissan Leaf, taking a PCP offer over three years, my finest assumption at exactly how long I’d have to wait on my design 3 to show up in the UK.
When the leaf arrived, I believe a lot of of my good friends believed I’d lost the plot. however it was an exceptionally low-cost as well as functional method to try out an EV.
I understood that if I might get by with a very first generation EV with a genuine world variety of 85 miles then anything in the future would be easy. people commonly deride the leaf for its odd looks (myself included), however I believe history will judge it as an crucial break-through cars and truck that assisted introduce EVs to numerous countless drivers.
I started www.NIEVO.org in late 2016 with a great good friend as well as in the spring of 2017 we both got an invite to spend a day driving Teslas, to celebrate the opening of the new Dublin Store. This [turned out to be] an legendary day of hooning about in a P100D Ludicrous design X as well as a 90D design S. Unsurprisingly this did bit to quell the Tesla lust.
By January 2018 it was remove that diesel sales were in huge difficulty having dropped by nearly a fifth. On the last day of February of 2018 Tesla introduced the $35,000 version of the design 3, just a month timid of the 3 year anniversary of the cars and trucks announcement.
On the Tesla web site the shipment quote for UK orders stayed stubbornly as ‘Early 2019’ even thoUgh Musk kijelentette, hogy az RHD produkciója ’19 közepén lesz.
Mozgalom
De aztán a dolgok váratlanul elkezdtek mozogni ez év végén. A megrendelések 2019. május 1 -jén, 7:00 óráig, valamint 7:25 órakor, online kerültek online az Egyesült Királyságban.
A legelső 30 napban körülbelül 4500 megrendelésből 117 számú számlát kaptam, valamint a konfigurátor azt javasolta, hogy június a szállítási dátum, amely [kiderült] igaza
Az Egyesült Királyság foglalási tulajdonosai az egyik leghosszabb várakozással rendelkeztek a Design 3 -ra. Ennek ellenére a jobbkezes autók késése, bár fájdalmas, szintén hasznos volt. A Tesla sok kialakult kialakult a magas színvonalú problémák kialakulását ezekben az autókban és teherautókban, amellett, hogy különféle üléseket és felfüggesztést biztosítson nekik.
Ezen túlmenően számos új funkció, valamint fejlesztés történt az Air Software alkalmazás frissítéseivel, beleértve a Sentry Mode -t, a Pet Dog Mode -t, a Sokkal jobb fékteljesítményt, valamint az energiaellátást is.
Az autopilot minimalizált funkciókészlete mostantól is gyakori, miközben a sokkal fejlettebb funkciókat átkerült a teljes önmeghajtó (FSD) csomagba.
Új rend
Tehát akkor az, ami eredetileg az EV-k számára laza távolságra kezdődött, a kíváncsisággá, és végül egy kicsit megszállottsággá alakult.
Soha nem rámutattam arra, hogy a foglalás mindezen éveiben van, és nem akartam megszámolni a csirkéimet vagy a Jinx the Dream -t. Ma azonban 3 év, 2 hónap, valamint 28 napos várakozás után bemutattam az Edinburgh -i Szolgáltatási Központban, hogy végül összegyűjtöttem a Tesla Design 3 Common Variety Plus -ot.
Miközben teljes munkaidős BEV autós voltam, figyelembe véve, hogy 2016, a Design 3 inkább más autó, mint a levélem, és az elkövetkező hónapokban megvizsgálom az autókat és a teherautókat.
A Belfast és az Edinburgh -i utazásom ma az utam befejezését jelzi a benzinfejből a Full Ev Evangelistba.
Nagyon sajnálatosnak tűnik, hogy közvetlenül házba megy, amikor az új elektromos fegyverében ült, néhány, az Egyesült Királyság sok ünnepelt aszfaltja, néhány órával északra. Tehát, amikor elhagyjuk a Tesla Szolgáltató Központot, a hosszú módszert a Ferry felé tartjuk, egy ötnapos útra, néhány Skócia sok legendás útjával.
A környezet elektromos.
