We wanted to get a second EV. Something with a long range, room for the whole family, and affordable at an auction. In part 1 (https://youtu.be/np2Gkfqb4bI) we narrowed the choice down to the Tesla Model 3 (which Flaviana now seems to like) and the Kia e-Niro (a car we had for two years and loved).

Will Flaviana’s new found love of the Tesla win? What’s the auction process like? And who brought a damn chicken into the lounge?!
