  • Tesla 3 Standard Plus or Audi e-tron 50

    Hello, I would like to lease a vehicle now, but the spoilt of choice. Audi e tron 50 or better the Tesla 3? Consider the e tron 50 with our chosen equipment at approx. 75T€ or even Tesla 3 in the Standard Plus variant at approx. 42,9 T€. Since we can bring in a heavy disability the Audi leasing rate is +/- 480 €/month. Tesla basically does not grant any discounts, then I come to 415€/month. I now ask myself what the Audi leasing rate is My thoughts on the vehicles with Pro and Contra Audi: Pro: – The car offers much more space in the interior (we also have to accommodate a three-year-old dwarf). – The e tron has all-wheel drive – more car, the e tron is significantly larger, but you may also consider it a disadvantage – Audi quality made in Germany Contra: – The range is 355 km lower than that of Tesla with 407. km. – the power consumption is significantly higher. – Leasing rate is higher Tesla: Pro: – Low power consumption, slightly longer range – Acceleration and driving values are significantly better than with the e tron – Leasing rate significantly lower Contra: – Rear axle drive, in winter on the mountain probably the pure joy – trunk is very small, is that enough for a family of three? – Does not offer some technical gimmicks, such as heatable steering wheel or electric tailgate (for me verk With regard to the equipment Tesla partly surprises me, leather seats, panoramic roof, various cameras, rear-view camera etc. These are things that the Audi does not have as standard, or which have to be booked quite expensive to do with it. For this there are just some things simply not. In addition, I ask myself whether the Tesla might not seem somehow cheap despite some high-quality equipment features. I also had the Kia e-Niro in the top equipment for fun. in spite of leather seats, the Kia seems somehow cheap from the materials. How are your experiences and impressions or to what would you tend?

  • Decision-making aid sought 🙂

    Hello fellow forists, we (2 parents 1 toddler) are thinking of setting up our fleet more environmentally friendly – i.e. electric(er) -. A solar system would make our landlord on the roof if necessary and sell us the electricity. A discussion whether electric vehicles “really environmentally friendly are I don’t want to start here! I also like the quietness and the quick response of the electric vehicle. Currently we drive a C-Class Diesel Kombi from 2013 with 150tkm – actually a pra Ktic family carriage. A little bit into the years but still very fit. We drive in the year about 15tkm. 2/3 of it in everyday life. Mostly shorter distances (shopping etc. max 50km radius). 1/3 of it family visits and holidays, therefore larger distances (relative lives 500km away). For the long distance is actually only a Tesla in question (charge infrastructure, battery capacity), and from the budget goes a new model 3 (SR+,RWD) just like that. alternatively, I thought about keeping the Mercedes for the long distances and getting a used i3 (60Ah) for the everyday rides. Of the costs this option would be about 100 a month cheaper. Since I like to drive a car and like to drive well motorized, I am not convinced of a ZOE, which would be significantly cheaper than the i3. But I have not yet driven to the test, the i3 already. How would you decide? Is there something to consider with the meanwhile rec Has the first i3 come to an end? How large is its realistic reach if they have so 5 years / 50tkm down? Do you have any other comments or constructive suggestions? Thank you, Albert

  • Experience with Standard Range +

    I’m sure you’ve already asked and answered by someone. I didn’t find it. Who doesn’t feel that the standard is enough? Missing equipment or “slowly” loading. Missing browser or “simple” Navi display. Sound system? No tests or similar… just what you say or experience with your car. I can actually only get the standard! Priced… so my questions. Of course I would get the AWD if the conclusion didn’t tell me what I wanted. t. I don’t have some features. On paper…but what does reality say? I still have to test and try … as far as possible. Order and return I find something stupid.

  • Stroller in Model 3

    After many years of processing of the Holden, it is now also convinced of the Model 3. Only we should test again whether the stroller would fit into the trunk. Said, we just passed Tesla and put the stroller in the trunk. It was quite disappointing. It was difficult to bring the chassis into the narrow opening. For my wife certainly even more difficult. With effort the tub then fitted next to it and the trunk was obviously full. The Hartan is also a tank. I didn’t think it was so difficult and this is a problem. How is it with you? The consultant offered to test the car again. I can try again if there is a trick. Model Y is probably only there in 1.5 years. I really don’t have a buck on a burner station wagon.

  • Austria: 270€ at Model 3 Save purchase by importing DL?

    Hello all, the Model 3 costs in Austria 290€ more than in Germany. Why? Maybe someone knows that, I have no idea. Anyway, I came across the following article on the ÖMTC page: https://www.oeamtc.at/thema/eigenimport/ There are the necessary steps to import a car from abroad to Austria. Accordingly, if I understand this correctly, only the following costs apply to an electric car (or not): – Nov a? Is it not possible for electric cars – VAT? Is that true that in Germany as a private person I really don’t pay any but only after the import in Austria? – Import turnover tax and customs? Is it not possible that Germany is part of the EU – Permit database: Does 180€ cost one time? – Transfer license plate: Short-term license plate for around 50€ Should it also do so? tcosts?? 230€ (180+50) Is that really correct? You would save 2670€, for people who already live at the border or in the vicinity, the question is not where the car is bought and: How does it look with the electric car promotion in the amount of 3000€ (with the cheaper models which will then be less than 50k€)? After I have paid the VAT in Austria I should then still be entitled to receive the promotion, right?

  • Model 3 for 4-member family and short distance recommended?

    We are a family with 2 children (3 and 8 years old) and at the moment we drive a 2016 Touran 1.4TSI DSG, with which we are satisfied. But now to the problem: My wife has a new job for some time. The way there (about 4km) she drives with the Touran (before that she had a walking job). Before she goes to work, she takes our little one into the daycare center (about 1km). In other words, the car is first moved about 1km in the morning and then about 4km in the afternoon then about 4km back home. Ergo, 5000km. My idea was to sell the Touran, because of the unfriendly treatment, and to sell an e-car for it. If, then I thought of a model about 2 years old 3. What do you mean? Does that make sense at all? I need some opinions from outsiders.

  • From AMG to Tesla?

    Hey guys, I’m driving n C63s and thinking about changing to a Model 3 performance. I’ve always found the technique or the whole play interesting and the clear advantage of the directly connected performance. What always stopped me was the design, all Tesla don’t look beautiful, also totally unspectacular. And I’m afraid that I’m going to miss the emotions of the C63. Of course the slow, but the sound and the whole spectacle is going on when you get the spores to the car. is already impressive and makes you grin again and again. Does someone here have just such a change and don’t regret it? Thank you LG

  • Fan running felt “always”

    Two questions: Why does the (one) fan even run when the Model3 is still? (the outside temperature is 4° at the moment) No departure is planned and garnix … Can one exhibit it – without causing damage – somehow? … and if … how? It’s close to the windows of our neighbor and I would be annoyed if I lived there. I had found something about it in the forum before, but now – despite a long search – nothing

  • Even the person is: Air filter exchange, which and how to clean? Brake fluid, wiper blades…

    With the 3 and Y is about all 4 an air filter exchange provided. You can do this yourself. Check the brake fluid yourself. On eBay I find three different replacement filters: a) same as the original filter with white filter, b) similar Original filter with one side in blue with activated carbon, c) one side with white filter and the other side is black with activated carbon cassettes. Have you already had experience with this with activated carbon an advantage? Chwarzen activated carbon cassettes is the normal filter layer even thinner and it filters less dust / pollen / etc. If smells, you should use a cleaning agent in case of removed filters. To get mold etc. out of the system. Can someone recommend something there? Brake fluid testers are on sale and you simply take the highest class 4+ as a replacement if it becomes necessary. Which wiper blades did you use? I saw in the advertisement Bosch, the same as for the Pa ssat. I have brake blocks cleaned and protected against corrosion every 2 years when changing tyres (winter to summer).

  • Mobile phone holder – discussion and recommendation

    My M3 is on its way and should be coming soon. I started looking for a suitable mobile phone holder. I like good quality (mostly brodit up to now). I like solutions from the position with the mobile phone at the upper left corner of the display. This position allows good visibility. I found two techniques for this. 1) Glue magnetic holder for mounting mobile phone at the top left of the displayhttps://www.amazon.de/…/ref=sr_1_5?…https://www.amazon.de/. ../ref=sr_1_3?… https://www.ebay.de/itm/374029870701?var=642975071470 (likely cheap and probably also in use) 2) Plug-in solutions on the display Actually a stable and convincing solution, but mostly come with an electrically opening mobile phone holder. I wonder with such China products, how long does it last. Besides, the upper left corner of the display could possibly be covered, which some users also complain. Since there is also the tacho, that would be natural. https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=sr_1_11?…https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=psdc_571712_t2_B088CS2HP9?th=1 The Brodit products position the mobile phone in an unfavourable position, either on the left or behind the steering wheel. Both seem not so practical to me. For example: https://www.handytreff.de/…roclip-tesla-model-3-bj-2018.html?…https://www.handytreff.de/…/…roclip-tesla-model-3-bj-2018.html?… Almost all the solutions I found there somehow didn’t see price-würdi g. I would spend 50,-, but I’m not entirely convinced of this solution: how did you solve it. Has anyone had experience with the proposed solutions?
