VWFS quote for the M3P was £1081+VAT on the following terms: Red metallic paint, no other extras 15K miles 3 Months initial payment + 35 monthly payments Non maintained A decent improvement on Tesla direct but waiting on another broker who has 9-10 lenders trying to work out what the residual...

Thanks. Yes they are indeed terrible. After 4 years of payments on 20k miles per year you'd have paid back more than the entire ex.VAT purchase cost of the car! Will take a look into the broker market and see if we can get any improvement.

Has anybody been able to obtain business contract hire quotes for the new M3P? If so can you please post them up. Thanks.

No option for business contract hire yet. I've messaged the local service centre to see if they can do anything for me.

Really looking forward to this machine. Hopefully we get the Xiaomi SU7 to give it a decent rival over the next couple of years.

Thank you. I'll need to replace my M3P in August or September so fingers crossed - however it does seem highly unlikely anything will be available at that point.

I'd agree with this based on my experience too.

Is there any word on when the Performance version will reach the UK?

I`m in exactly the same boat, paid £525 a month for 3 years for 15k miles on an M3P with 6 months' upfront. Now on the same terms, looking at over £750. Painful. All the finance packages are being squeezed at the moment with the economic uncertainty. Fortunately I have 10 months remaining on...

Significant shortcomings is an understatement - they really paid the price for cutting ties with Mobileye, which is a vastly superior system.

Many people are saying the MCU has been faulty ever since Thor in 2013.

Just for reference, last winter I ran the OEM PS4's (warm weather tyre) throughout and didn't experience this specific type of slip (rear left when exiting roundabouts) once.

Just logged on to post this as it happens, interesting there appears to be many others with a similar experience! Had a software update at the weekend and just this week, I`ve noticed the rear left tyre is losing traction when exiting many different roundabouts in my M3P. Tyres are Quatrac Pro...

When I walk past parked Teslas with the kids I always egg them on to pull a silly face at one of the cameras. Would never do such a thing myself, obviously.

How long did it take for your install to be arranged?

This weekend's work: re-badge and de-chrome. Used the Nikola Pro kit and followed the Youtube videos, pretty simple stuff. Next up, sort out the shonky numberplates. Yes I know it is dirty, no I will not clean it.

That looks great. May I ask how much? I was quoted £350 and decided to do it myself with the Nikola Pro kit from the US. About halfway through at the moment - will post the results.

Not a Supercharger but there are 2 x 150kW chargers at the BP station in Ashington, West Sussex, RH20 3AT

Electrical, fire and security all complete. Not long now!

Thanks for the write up. The premium system is extremely good and way better than any of the 'branded' systems I had in previous German cars. However I played Three 6 Mafia "Late Nite Tip" and noticed the sub had a bit of difficulty with the various bass frequencies - has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks - I had a play around with the settings and have managed to reduce the amount of alerting from the car. I apologise, I should have RTFM!

In my view the 'intelligence' aspect of the Model 3 is wildly overrated. When on TACC it brakes heavily for no good reason and even when off TACC - it bleeps and bongs relentlessly thinking it's about to crash into things, and performed an emergency stop with no good reason (car in front turning...

I ordered my M3P through VWFS in White/Black back in mid-Feb, was given a delivery date in early June but then postponed the delivery as I didn't want to have a car sat un-used while in lockdown. At this point I asked for a delivery early September. Called Tesla CS mid-August to make sure all...

Yep, I just emailed VWFS (lease co) and told them I wanted to put it back. No penalties, I`m guessing they have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Thanks for confirming bhav.

I was given a delivery date of early June but have since requested it to be pushed it back to September because of CV19, will I still get the same vehicle or will I be re-assigned a new one closer to the time? I assume it's the latter but wanted to check.

Containment going up inside last week.

Somebody needs to stop Richard Hammond going on camera without a script. Also I think his wife hates him.

This is my thinking, if I cancel my March collection I should get a new date in June, June being the end of Q2. Don't really have a problem with that as my current lease ends 30th May.

Sure, I am awaiting the text message to which I will have to reply `No`, but it's a M3P in White with Black interior, no other options. I guess it will appear on the inventory page after I refuse the collection.

I suspect you will get a collection date in March. If you can obtain your RN from your lease company and call Tesla on 01628 450660 they will be able to give you a lot more information, and possible a projected collection date too.

I am in the odd position of not being able to accept the March collection date I have been given, I was expecting June collection as my current lease finishes on 30th May. Presumably they will text me with the confirmed collection date, then I reply `No`, then they text me again at some...

It's an interesting theme here that pretty much everyone that orders in the first 2 months of Q1 is getting their cars in the 3rd month of Q1. What's the delay with the Grand Mark?

I just call them, gave my RN and got an update on mine, so have updated the list with everyone else's details. Feel free to copy and paste the list if you have any more updates to add to your order :-) Strong recommend if you want an update, call them on 0162 845 0660 and quote your RN, they...

Just recieved my RN so have made a list if anyone wants to update. Name - Order date - Colour/Interior - Latest update 1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – No VIN 2. 94jdh – 01/12 – MSM/Black – No VIN 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – Est.March 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - ??/?? –...

Following from the Gateway2Lease discussion on the last page, their backer VWFS has now released the same deal directly and of course slightly cheaper. If you have 5+ cars in your biz fleet then you won't be able to lease an M3P for less anywhere else at the moment. Tesla Model 3 Business...

That is a very good price, other brokers also told me the deal was unlikely to happen however I`m of the view, let's get the order in and see what happens! Apparently it is underwritten by VW Financial Services and only available to businesses with 5+ vehicles already in the fleet, as VWFS want...

Got an excellent price from Gateway2Lease for a business lease: M3P, standard colour, no options. 6 + 35, 15k per year - £513.25 per month Please can someone give me a referral code for the Supercharger miles?

Good points, best get it done sooner rather than later. I`ll post up whatever I go w.

Durzel that seems to be my experience too, I`ve been watching the lease prices for a few months now and they are extremely firm. On the other hand, all this 100kwh battery talk is making me wonder whether holding off for a couple more months may be worthwhile.

10 years ago was this tin-worm infested masterpiece. Had various 3 series ever since.... until next May!

Thank you all, JupiterMan is correct - checked with a few brokers today and they are happy to take the order to secure the price, they will set a 'delivery after' date with Tesla but it is just a case of getting matched around the right time. Now that's cleared up, it's a case of trawling...

Has anyone on here been able to order their lease for delivery after a specific date? Keen on ordering to hedge against price fluctuations but don't want to take delivery or start any monthlies until my current lease ends in 5 months' time.
