Discussion
Wife has had her new Tesla M3, RWD for almost a full year.
14230 miles.
She loves it.
She does close to 50 miles a day.
Her average efficiency is 208 wh/mile.
Charging is 99.99% at home, overnight on Octopus Intelligent.
Essentially, running costs are zero.
Best miles out of a charges battery has been 286 miles, but could have cracked the 300 miles with 3% remaining on our way down to Cornwall from Liverpool.
She is a gentle driver.

Glad she likes it! I feel the same way. I’m 25k into my Model Y LR and loved the experience. All cars are a compromise of one sort or another but this ticks many boxes - spacious, comfortable, quiet, reliable, fast, safe, amazing tech - and as your wife has found - cheap to run.14230 miles.

I’m on the same set of tyres, with plenty left, so you may find another year without that cost. The only thing I’ve spent so far on maintenance has been windscreen washer fluid
I've had my Tesla M3 SR+ for about 8 months now. It's a 2021 model. It's covered 12,995 miles, 8,348 of which have been mine. I'm averaging 32 miles a day and the average efficiency is 205 wh/mile.
Charging has been 96% % at home, overnight on Octopus Intelligent. Cost for electrons so far has been £176.
Most mileage on a day of driving has been 243 miles, with 14% remaining when I got home.
Maintenance has been washer fluid and a weekly wash and vac on the drive.
Niggles? A motor failed in the passenger rear right window, causing the glass to shatter. Repaired under warranty on the drive within 48 hours.
The glass roof developed a crack in August A trip to the showroom determined a manufacturing defect in how the glass was bonded to the body shell. Repaired in an afternoon in the workshop, under warranty.
Overall, very, very happy with the car and the service.

This is actually looking like a very viable option now with the sort of range you're quoting, is the rwd version less powerful/more economic than the AWD versions?
The M3 RWD is by far the most economical.A little slow at only 139 mph, and 5,5 seconds to 60.
Way faster than anything else as a daily driver.
I paid 160 a tyre, Conti All Seaons.
Guy told me one of my rear brakes was metal on metal and I needed new discs and pads which he'd do for 330ish.
Took it to Tesla, as still under warranty who said they were fine. Tesla service have been really good to me, one of the reasons I'd be happy to be a 2 tesla household.
