[Casss]

Is this the insurance thread! Come on ppl we'll be asking about the Skoda Enyaq next.

I too am a powerfully built company director and my insurance is £3.20 a year because they're just desperate to have me

/s... sorry back on topic!

Rivian R1T for me - R1T - Rivian

I'd have gone for the R1S in a heartbeat if they sold them here in the UK

I'll be right behind you, picking up from Glasgow at 11. I have a final invoice pdf with both numbers on, but have also had 2 texts this week with the reg number mentioned.

Likewise I had the text with reg twice but already had it from a call with them. Are you paying for the car outright? Henry why you have a final invoice?

Among EV startups, Rivian seems to have its plans together far ahead of others, though it's still facing delays. Hopefully, a global launch will move smoothly.

Everyone knows the Park and Ride is where all the cool kids hand out

Blimey - MY in the Cambridgeshire area aren't popular anymore!! They're COMMON!!!

Just seen from your history that you're a new driver with 2 years experience - don't want to be a negative nelly but I'd be surprised if anyone would insure you for a sensible sum of money. I assume you are at least over 25, which will help. If you have anyone who's been driving longer you could try getting them to insure it with you as a named driver, but that usually requires that they are the main driver of the vehicle.

If they are not the main driver then it's 'fronting' which is illegal and will bugger up the insurance record of you both. You could add a more experienced driver (a parent maybe?)as an additional named driver which can have a positive effect.

For those with March 15-29 as their delivery range, what's the collective opinion for when we'll get a more specific date?

Bruised?

I think it has to come before the end of the week, right? Much beyond that and we're entering "short notice" territory...

Y as common as a 3 by the end of March. Time to start looking at the ID Buzz

I'm 30, 12 years experience and I'm getting quotes between £450-600 ish. My current car is a BMW 330i, so similar-ish performance (a bit slower) and I pay £390. Most people seem to be getting slightly higher than that, between 600-1000. I live in a fairly quiet area which helps. In London I would expect this to be higher again. It does seem that it's really variable though, so it's a guessing game.

All you can do is make sure you add 1 or 2 named drivers with more experience, and make sure you try not to pick a high risk job title: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-insurance-job-picker/

I've just sold my 3 year old BMW M2 ahead of the MY arriving next month. I'm 60+ living in rural Sussex with the car garaged. Insurance last year on the M2 £165 - quotes for the MY between £550 and £600! Maybe they've concluded that "older" drivers won't be able to cope with the new technology! Can't be the speed as the M2 was a bit quicker! Fortunately I can wait for more insurers to come on line next week hopefully.

I am watching the other thread about shipping movements like a hawk.

 

[MrT3]

May be I had wrong expectations reading some people getting low quotes on here. People who obviously are much more experienced drivers than me.

You need to remember that people quoting their prices probably have a level of No Claims Discount. Anyone 5 years claim free is getting 70% off the full price.

20+ at the Trafford Centre this morning...

I didn't spot any Ys on 22, but there were plenty of 3s ready with 22 plates. A few of the Ys hadn't yet got their plates on them.

Has anyone found some decent aftermarket floor/boot matts? Ideally something waterproof due to have a dog and 2 boys that have no understand of the word 'clean'....

For those with March 15-29 as their delivery range, what's the collective opinion for when we'll get a more specific date?

I spoke with a Tesla rep this afternoon, date provided was more likely to be 20th March at either Southampton or Bluewater locations for all London and South East deliveries. I’ve requested a home delivery as a result as I’ve sold my trade in vehicle and no real easy way to get to either location for me . Home delivery isn’t a guarantee but they will try their best as it’s a complimentary service.

I had my logbook come through the post today. I noticed the power and then compared with the performance model 3. This is interesting...

I am, yes - along with a car trade-in.
