From The Late Brake Show.
700bhp and FREE FUEL FOREVER for £5k – Why I bought the UK’s Cheapest Tesla. In this second episode on the £5000 auction bargain Model S P90D Jonny Smith tries Insane launch control in his £105,800 car (when new in 2016), explains why EVs DO NEED oil changes, and what cost effective hacks he’s discovered to run his free-Supercharging-for-life Tesla Model S. Is there a cheaper fully functional Tesla out there?
