checkley1973, Tesla sent out a general invite to view the Model 3 at the Tesla store in Stockport, and other Tesla stores around the country.
I went to view the car Wednesday 12th December 2018.
I got to see the car close up and try out the seating both front and back, and got to use the large screen.
Superb car, even though I did not get a test drive, it was a U.S. spec LHD version, that has a different charge port to the European version.
They are now taking orders for the $35,000 entry model 220 mile range, that will sell like hot cakes over in the U.S. as there are good tax credits for buying EV's over in the U.S., in fact I think they can get upto $7,500 of that £35,000 list price bringing the price down to $27,500

Nothing special about the Hyundai Kona, which is a fossil car made into a BEV.
The Ioniq BEV looks ok, and the Kia Nero is a good contender.
But the Tesla wins hands down on the battery tech, and super contemporary design.
Add to that the aluminium body of the Tesla, there really is no other choice.
Fuel Cell's although here and now, are many decades away to becoming main stream, for now Plug in BEV's are the way to go, during my lifetime at least.
Honda are launching a BEV urban car this year, rear wheel drive and a range of 120 miles, perfect for urban commuters, and sensibly priced, it will be a big seller, and make for a great second car, ideal if you still need a fossil car to tow your caravan and for longer journeys.
As for Colin, the Tesla Model 3 entry version will make for a great used buy, maybe in your price range after a few years years.
