So do we feel this is now the price for the medium to long term, or do you think prices will hike again later this year or next? i did Read that Musk wanted to bring the car to the masses.

Only just had a British Gas smart meter fitted last week which the engineer stated would be compatible with all others, which now seems isn't the case with Octopus after reading all this. Does anyone else use the British Gas EV tariff which seemed to suggest very low charging off peak rates...

Been waiting ages for the MY, so can't see anything coming here for 2/3 years, and I'd doubt it would be much under the 28K mark.

My test drive is booked in for two weeks time in Birmingham. Thus far the staff have been so helpful, so will be interested to see how the contactless process all works. Seems we get around 45 mins in total.

In the next handful of years it will cost the same to charge your car as what it costs at the fuel pumps. Public charging seems to be increasing quarterly, and it won’t be that far away where governments start to implement a taxing model to replace what they lose from Vat on fuel.

What’s the thought on possible prices for the U.K.?

Looks like I will be ordering a M3 then. Still a lot of unknowns at the moment, including the price. Can only see it being 5K/10K more than the corresponding M3 versions.

From an insurance perspective I just can’t see that happening. Way too much hassle for the owner if you ask me.

Is the Solihull option still available, or has Tesla now disbanded that centre?

It was £1700 originally? Are they that much extra to insure then compared to ICE cars?

All useful Information. My reason for purchasing a M3 SR+ later this year is we only do around 7,000 per year with a small daily commute. Also, being honest the SR+ is at the top of affordability for us at this present time, so it’s basically that or no Tesla. I’m really looking forward to...

Hi All, Not sure whether this is the correct session, so hope it’s ok. When replacing my current car in March 2022, I’ve decided to go with a M3. Not sure whether this will be purchase or lease at the moment. I’ve been told by a leasing company that Tesla only deliver in the last month of...

Hi all. When replace my current car in March 2022, I’ve decided to go with a M3. Not sure whether this will be purchase or lease at the moment. I’ve been told by a leasing company that Tesla only deliver in the last month of each financial quarter, so if I need a car early next year they...

Update : gateway2lease have now updated their site and the cost of the M3 lease has dropped significantly since the price reduction.

It doesn’t look like many if any lease companies have passed on the reduced price of the M3. Whether this is temporary I’m not sure. However they certain increased the costs quickly when they went up.

So unless I’m seeing it wrong, it appears the M3 SR has had the price reduced based on Tesla‘s site.

Be interesting to see if the grant removal significantly slows those sales from now on.

They‘re the cheapest I’ve seen since the government grant removal. Maybe they were all purchased before that hence the deals? Not sure. If leasing can’t see the issue with pre registered. if these deals are still around nearer the end of the year, that’s where I’ll be heading. thanks for...

That’s true. All Tesla’s new or used seems more expensive in the uk compared to other countries.

Be interesting to see the UK sales on M3 going forward with all grants removed. The M3SR + now looks expensive compared to the LR. I wonder if Tesla might look at other incentives should the market dip?

Yes agree. The M3SR + seems expensive now. The LR looks the better value. Would be interesting to see how that £3000 increase has affected sales since the uplift. I know of two people that were ready to purchase but are now holding fire to see if prices drop in the coming months.

A basic and probably silly question, but without the Tesla supercharging infrastructure how easy / difficult would it be to do longer trips in these cars compared to the Tesla for example?

Good news. Yes I’m going to wait for things to settle down, plus I’m tied into my currently lease till the end of the year.

Was looking at a lease through a third party such as gate2lease, but now 😖

Where is that, fosse park?

Interesting informative article from gateway2lease on grant reduction. Changes to Plug-in Car Grant | Gateway2Lease Blog

That was a good deal. Was that a business lease?

I’ve a feeling from April Tesla might offer some additional incentives for new purchases.

Wouldn't shock me if they've added these increases to then reduce some of it back off after April.

No they haven't. See their website now.

Yes was over 4 years, so basically that increase is the £3000 uplift give or take a few quid. that will ruin the lease market

Yes agree. The base M3 SR+ seems expensive now.

Just checked now on gateway2lease. The same car and details now is just over £80 a month more. I’m afraid that’s me out. Absolutely gutted.

Gutting isn’t it.

I tend to agree. I think a lot of potential customers, especially at the M3 SR+ end will now look elsewhere. Myself for one wouldn’t be able to take another £60/£80 increase a month into the finance now. Gutted 😞

No nor me. I think we’ll be picking up the tab.

Fingers crossed then. Nearly a £5,500 increase from 2019 if it does get added.

Interestingly, most leasing companies such as gateway2lease are now not showing the prices, as obviously they don’t know. It seems this came out the blue for everybody, Tesla included.

Ouch. This could really hit the lease market. That 3k over the term of the lease, which say is 3 years is like putting another £80 on the monthly figure. This will massive help the likes of the VW ID3.

Go more into the details (view additional information)

Wow, that’s crazy really. You’d think we’d be going the other way.

Apparently the Tesla site has NOT been updated as yet to reflect this change.

Very true 😕

Depends on how you look at it. As someone that was looking to replace my current diesel leased motor at the end of year, I was literally at the limit of affordability for the M3 SR+, so the grant just made it achievable. Sadly, now it might be back to the drawing board unless Tesla drop the...

It’s appears that gateway2lease is the main 3rd party lease company that people use. Is there anyone out there with experience of who you should potentially avoid from bad experiences? Thanks

When can we expect the Berlin factory to open?

Sort of on this subject, everyone talks about the integration with Spotify, but how does work if you use for example Apple Music? Thanks

Even though Tesla in touchwood has now gone, are all the Tesla chargers still available to use in the touchwood car park ?

Warwick services would be the closest for me. We’re just outside Leamington Spa.

Awesome news. That’s only about 10 Miles from me then.
