UK EV Transition Journey

A 40 Something Edinburgh chap documenting the real cost and chaos of switching to a Tesla Model Y in the UK in 2026.

Stuck paying £100+ on petrol every month while my Ultra Red AWD Model Y is delayed to June, I’m tracking every penny on fuel, MOTs, insurance and tax. From Tesla chat ghosting on Helix wheels and home charger stock issues, to unboxing accessories and preparing for delivery day — this is the raw, sarcastic, no-BS journey from gas guzzler Tucson to EV savings.

If you’re also waiting on a Tesla Model Y UK, dealing with rising petrol prices, or just love honest EV transition stories, you’re in the right place.

Drop your own waiting costs, Tesla frustrations or must-have accessories in the comments — let’s build this journey together.
