I have a friend who did this but he is mortgage free. Its a cheap way to do it but the thought of securing a depreciating asset like a car on the house is very daunting and inadvisable as Bhav said above.

I considered this as well, my issue is that i had an unsecured loan at half the interest rate of this car loan. The car loan is secured by the car, looking at second hand M3’s they are maybe 2k cheaper than new with 8k miles on the clock. I don’t think the industry has caught on but someone...

Hi all just wondered if anyone has come across a cheaper finance deal for a model 3. Black horse/ tesla for SR+ with £9,000 deposit is 4.9% APR Interest charges over 6years: £4,272 My previous car: I had a loan at less than 3% but this was for a much smaller amount (Around 15K) wondered if...

Thought I’d throw my experience in to add to the others, I called tesla and they said they are waiting on the company who calculates the future values. Tesla and finance companies are ready and waiting. So the agent on the phone said

I did think about this. But with a lack of PCP there may be very few on the market after three years. However when the Model Y comes out there may be plenty. As if they did PCP I would have been tempted by a 3 until the Y came out.

Haha. In Yorkshire we’re too tight for school trips. He can have a pan and a wooden spoon if he wants to do music.

A kona or Niro?!? How dare you make such a suggestion sir. And here of all places. I’m joking. I might just have to wait till both kids are at school and I’m not crippled by childcare fees. Thats a model 3 right there 600 a month.

I had a look at the approved installer websites today and i could tell. We’re paying for the fancy website for starters. I’m just going to some local sparkys for some quotes.

Yes, yes, yes! I hear alot of the PHEVs are bought for company car tax reasons and never charged. One would suit me to an extent as we could drive about 50% without turning the engine on. Then i read up on them, you have to run the engine to heat the car so in the UK thats about 369 days a...

Theres so much they could do. But we have all seen how good our transport secretary is following the brexit preparations

Thank you very much for all the advice in your posts. And to every one else by the way its been a huge help. This is a great forum.

Sorry to change the subject but has anyone enquired if we (the UK) can order the SR (not plus) and avoid the luxury car tax. I don’t want a luxury car, i just want rid of the petrol piece of crap that’s outside my house that was basically miss sold following diesel gate

Does anyone know if you can order the standard range in the UK? I might call and then unlock the plus features at a later date

are they offering part ex?

Also Arg, i never thought about the charger been in a porch. This is a nice idea. Next door has one but we don't. What do you do when charging? Leave an outer door open or have something the cable can pass through like a window or even cat flap haha

Thank you for this huge amount of information. Its given me a lot to think about. I agree with you that if i have any charging added that a consumer unit and general wiring be updated. It needs to be safe. I’m starting to consider that maybe i should just have a solution thats puts me on until...

I didn’t realise the grant could be used on a commando socket, this is brilliant news. Who would be the best person to install it, whoever tesla recommends?

My problem is I work in the community as a nurse so no fixed place of work, but I do visit a community centre three times a week so I could ask them. And thats why i could never afford a model S or X. Nurses salary

Thank you for your input, I like the idea of a 16amp plug, it would meet my needs, it may be a little more expensive as our wiring is old, we dont have a consumer unit, just the old fuse type thing. And when I enquired a year ago about having a consumer unit fitted the electrician said he has to...

Thank you for your reply, I just read on the planning department website that a charger cant be installed within two meters of a highway, our garden is probably just under that in lengh but i havent measured it. But a 13amp isn’t classed as a electric vehicle charging point so wouldn't need...

Hi, I would love advice if anyone has any wisdom regarding my situation. I have been putting off reserving a model 3 due to our parking situation. We live in an end terrace, our garage is at the other end of the terraces; five houses away, so to install a charger in the garage we would have...
