tesla replace the batteries in their vehicles when they get the newer technology

i spent an hour or so chatting to the guy in the dealership about various things, they also install a fast charger at your home address into the price

not sure about the second hand market for them but as a first time buyer of a new car, they certainly look after you as a customer

ok, so £90k is a lot of money but it's a lot of kit
