Sorry if been answered already, I use basic AP quite alot on motorway drives, but I also like to use traffic aware cruise too. I tried out the sinfle pull for AP option but then couldn't work out how to enable only cruise. Am I missing something or do you just lose that feature if enabling...

Thought I'd post a few photos of my wheel journey so far on my 2023 LR RWD with the standard 18" alloys. Started with the standard aero trims, took them off and added nut and centre covers, then finally my Arachnid style covers arrived. Really happy with the finished look, these trims...

Has anybody see this or gone for it? Picked up my 3LR last week and was ready to go down the octopus energy route and get charger installed then saw this British Gas announces free EV charging for a year - Energy Live News Up to 8000 miles free home charging in first 12 months... Trying to...

No it's my first. I had a Renault Zoe way back when they first came out for 2 years but nothing EV since then. Need to get my charger sorted and all sorts!

Ordered mine today and pick up on Friday! Beyond excited. Taken 6 months to finally pull the trigger having looked at various options/models/finance packages. In the end couldn't turn down the 0% PCP offer of the LR RWD and keep my money in the bank earning interest. 4 years of hassle free...

Well that changes things for sure. My ltd co is only 18 months old with one year of accounts submitted this week so likely struggle with PCP, but could potentially throw some cash in as a director loan just to buy through business and draw that back out rather than dividends over the next...

Hang on, so if I bought a Model Y through my company on business PCP - let's say £1000 deposit and 36 payments of £800 and a balloon payment at the end, then I can have it as a £44,000 expense in year one?

If you're talking about the EV 100% reclaimable as business expenses then PCP payments count just the same. Any amount paid toward a new full EV vehicle within the first year will be able to go down as an expense against Corporation Tax. So that would just be deposit plus 12 payments in your...

Well just failed my PCP application....British Gas have screwed me over with 3x missed payments on 17th July despite me moving house and closing the account down fully paid up. They've quickly admitted the error and will rectify it with the credit agencies but could take 1-2 months to reflect...

If you do it that way yes, or my earlier example where you stick the full amount into accessible savings and draw down the monthlies from it leaves you a good £5k better off in interest if you can keep that money earning 4% ish

That's what I've ended up at yes. I've used some of my ISA allowance already so didn't want to complicate the calculations with a combination of some taxable and some not. Sticking the full amount into the 2x ISA gave me the following figures : Downpayment = £0 (no point paying a deposit when...

Awesome, I have a family friend who has one, if he wants the credits will use him, I've had an inbox message already and will use them 👍 Excited to order tonight!

Oooh I didn't know about the £500, do I need to ask a Tesla owner to give me a code? I have one who bought second hand and one who bought new recently

Same predicament as you but have decided to go for it at 0% as it's a no-brainer, heres my thinking. I was going to buy a Model Y cash, but the 0% APR just changes everything for me. I didn't need the Model Y but just thought I'd go for the bigger model anyway. Model 3SR price = £40,470 48...

Had the same, put off ordering and then it switched to blackhorse overnight. It seems like that switch dropped the option of a 70 month hire purchase, and for PCP the Optional Final Value dropped from £19k to £15k making the monthlies more. I guess it doesn't really matter as still paying the...
