I'd go for the Tesla provided getting the roof sign attached to the glass roof is allowed and isn't cost-prohibitive.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

The Teslas are Nice yokes alright.Good to see the prices coming down a bit.

The Tesla model Y is slightly bigger for about 46/47 after the seai grant.I'd say it passes suitability as I seen one as a taxi in Berlin but the rear windows are tinted as standard.

There's a few Teslas licensed as taxis, not sure on models/sizes but one or two date back to the last decade.

I haven't seen a model Y yet plated up but expect to see some soon.There are a few model 3s already plated up and Model Sss as limos.

headlight bulbs are a doddle to change. easiest car i've ever had. very easy to access the bulbs. no tight areas or covers to remove or bogey little clips to pry off. just rotate the bulb gently and out she pops. both my headlights and full beams went out after a car wash. gick 4 bulbs i thought but only 2 in the end. the one bulb controls the headlights and the full beams. a HIR2 bulb. brillo.

The last time I checked (July 2022) the nua Corolla petrol/hybrid/automatic was 28k, today it's 31k !
A 3k increase in 6 months !!
I priced one in a couple of dealers recently and they are now €36k with delivery May/June.

I think RC meant the bulbs. I have had the Prius for over four years and have only changed two headlight bulbs.
Weird that a Corolla would need to change bulbs after 6 months.

I was quoted 33500 a few months ago for the base model estate for delivery around now.Are yous sure it wasn't the one with the bigger alloys that's 36000.I couldn't drive the Toyota with 18 inch wheels I'd be wanting ear plugs.

A complete new model I was told. Prices are gone crazy, it's a sellers market at the mo.

i got them here. they fitted them for me but they'll post them out to people to fit yourself. tailor made for the car.

make sure that the seat covers aren't covering up the vent in the back seat. This vent  is used to cool down the hybrid battery.
