500bhp and FREE FUEL FOREVER for £5k – Why I bought the UK’s Cheapest Tesla

From The Late Brake Show.

500bhp and FREE FUEL FOREVER for £5k – Why I bought the UK’s Cheapest Tesla. In this episode Jonny Smith is tipped off about a Tesla Model S P90D that’s going through auction at a bargain price. Traders were scared of the dash warnings, but Jonny knows who to take it to after his EV buying guru mate helps him snap up what was a £105,800 car in 2016 for less than £5000. Is there a cheaper Tesla? Who wouldn’t want free vend Supercharging forever?!
