Hi All, Newbie here (long time BMW owner but don't hold that against me!)... been looking around on here for a few weeks.
I'm close to taking a Model 3 lease through a work salary sacrifice scheme using Octopus EV. Like many people, I'm swinging between Long Range and Performance. Ideally, I'd like to take a LR and bolt on the 'Acceleration Boost' upgrade on receipt of the vehicle as I like the idea of the day-to-day comfort, stealth performance and lower price. However, after reading many threads on here, it seems a lottery as to whether or not I'll have access to this upgrade on my account.
Does anyone have any first hand experience on being able to access upgrades through vehicles leased via Octopus EV (or possibly Lex Autolease)?
Many thanks
It’s actually in the Lex contract:
“11.8 The Customer must not use Connected Services to change the Vehicle’s mechanical performance from its specification when it was first delivered to the Customer.”
That’s along with paying for any services beyond any manufacturer supplied timescale, eg the premium connectivity.
