    Model 3 SR+ Lease UK - beginners questions

    They're not. It might well be the case that the monthly cost quoted is lower, but that's because of the up front payment being the same for 2 or 3 years and often being 9 months worth of payments. A 3 year deal will almost always work out cheaper per month when taking the total cost of the...

    Is your best friend a 3 pin plug?

    I bought one of these and can highly recommend: 13A extension lead BMW, Nissan & Jaguar compatible (RCD options) The fully waterproof ip66 rated socket means I am confident leaving it out in the rain and the construction seems top notch.

    LTD company too good to be true?

    I have my car through a limited company. Direct Line weren't bothered about who was listed as owner or keeper of the car in terms of the quote they gave. I was a little concerned at first as they sent the policy documents out with it wrong, but I called them up and they just reissued and said it...

    LTD company too good to be true?

    Something to consider (certainly this year, less so from next April) is that BIK is worked out on the list price of the car - so the older the car is, the more tax you pay relative to your actual purchase price. i.e. BIK is the same on a car that cost 70k 5 years ago that you bought for 20k as...

    Lease deals at the moment

    I've not used them but evezy seem to have very positive reviews and an interesting business model. It's a rolling monthly cost with no up front and a minimum one month commitment. The sr+ is 599 a month Inc vat. This compares to an average monthly cost of about 550 across 24 months at electric...

    Model S Standard Range discontinued, Ludicrous price jump

    Long Range now the cheapest Model S at a starting price of £78,000, but the real news is that the Ludicrous option is no longer bundled into the performance model and there is an effective ~£15k price bump on a Ludicrous Performance compared to yesterday. Time to break out the champagne if you...

    Non-performance second hand prices

    It's another example of some pretty short sighted thinking on the part of Tesla. Their used car experience is laughably bad to the point of insanity. Basically insist on a deposit of £4k to buy a car you can't even see decent pictures of and that they won't guarantee the condition of, then...

    Non-performance second hand prices

    Based on my recent experience I'll take a guess at the trade-in offer being around £35k at best. The offer on a 6 month old 75D with EAP/premium interior/metallic/carbon was £46k. You might want to speak to R Symons Ltd about selling your car through their brokerage service, which will I'm...

    Non-performance second hand prices

    Put another way, a standard range today is broadly equivalent to a 75D in the second hand market. Currently, all 2017 75D are up for sale at between 54k and 65k, representing ~25% depreciation over 2 years compared to current new price. 2017 P100Ds are currently for sale between £89k and £100k...

    Non-performance second hand prices

    I think the second hand prices on p100dl cars have yet to fully settle given the massive disruption, but I do fundamentally agree that those prices should hold up incredibly well relative to the new purchase price. This is one of the reasons I'm using to justify to myself taking the hit to...

    Non-performance second hand prices

    As someone who recently (Sep 2018) purchased a 75D Model S but has a real desire to get a Ludicrous Performance S after the recent price changes, I'm naturally quite interested in what impact has been felt on second hand prices. Obviously the P100DL took an absolute hammering in the second hand...

    Model S and X price and option changes in the UK

    Inventory cars that were 130k yesterday are now 40-50k cheaper..... as clear an indication as you're going to get that this pricing is here to stay.

    Model S and X price and option changes in the UK

    It's only really on the performance model that the GBP/USD approximate parity breaks apart. In the US going, from long range to ludicrous costs an additional $31,000 ($16k to performance, $15k again to ludicrous) .... in the UK, the difference is just over £7k, which is less than $10k. Whilst...

    Model S and X price and option changes in the UK

    I placed a deposit down earlier on one, and so far communication with sales at Tesla has not indicated anything about mispricing at all, even when I specifically asked what had changed and referenced the significant price drop. One difference is that I'm pretty sure the P100D came with 21"...

    Model S and X price and option changes in the UK

    Having had a little look around a few different countries pricing, it seems that everywhere outside the US is quoting the performance model as including the ludicrious option - whereas in the US, that is an additional $15k. Given the cheapest inventory P100D is just a shade under £130k, that is...

    Supercharging cost info

    If you're buying a second hand model s built after November 2018 then you're talking £70k+ really. 400kwh of free supercharging will save you ~ £100 a year. It's just not an amount that should really sway the decision one way or another

    How to save thousands on Tesla UK PCP finance

    it's not exactly foolproof due to the small number of data points and difference in spec, but a quick look at Tesla UK new and used inventory car prices shows that for 4 year old S85 cars, there is one high mileage (105k) example at ~£35k and a few examples at a more moderate mileage of between...

    Prem Audio vs Norm...

    For what it's worth, I got my S in September and it was ordered before the change to PUP being standard, so I have (presumably) the standard audio. The audio was the only real thing in the PUP that appealed to me and at £5k that seemed way way over the odds given what could be bought aftermarket...

    Replace number plates???

    For what it's worth, Tesla quoted us £20 for replacement plates that actually have Tesla written on the bottom of them rather than "Halfords" or similar. They were happy to fit them for no additional charge as well, removing the possibility I do something stupid and break off one of the...

    How to order model S for March 1st delivery?

    For what it's worth, I ordered in July with the intention of getting my car in September 1st on a 68 plate. When I ordered they were quoting delivery in August. I said I wanted it on the new plate and was told in no uncertain terms that if it turned up in August I'd have to take it in August on...

    New Staggered 21" Silver Arachnid Wheels/Michelin PS3 Tires/Gen2TPMS for sale

    Hi, are these still waiting to be delivered to a SC? If so, do you think it's possible to get them delivered to a UK one?

    UK domestic 3 pin extension lead

    Thank you both very much, that is fantastically helpful information and the website you linked provided a solution I hadn't even considered with the letterbox connector so it's possible to run a cable without leaving a window wide open all night! I have quite a bit of reading to do now....

    UK domestic 3 pin extension lead

    Hi, I realise this thread is a little old but does anyone have any experience of current options in this area? I'm just about to order a 75D MS and concern has been raised about a planned trip to visit friends who don't have a charger and are quite a distance from any superchargers. So I want...

    Vegan seat wear and sagging

    Thanks, that's really encouraging as I have seen some stertching on cars with just a couple of thousand miles on, which certainly hasn't been the case with BMW's I've owned in recent years

    Vegan seat wear and sagging

    Hi, I'm just about to pull the trigger on ordering a 75D S and the last decision is on the seats and looking for some advice. I was previously set on the multi pattern in large part due to cost but my wife really would prefer the "leather" option. My concern is that even on low mileage used...
