Plug-in car Grant now £3000 (was £3500) for cars under £50k

Unless Elon changes the prices !

I'll keep my fingers crossed

I hope Tesla adjust UK prices accordingly. Need to be £49,999 for the LR (its already arguably overpriced). Cut spec like connectivity or something to be post-paid upgrade to get the cost down.

SR+ £500 price increase and £500 PIG decrease is a net increase in cost of £1000. Slight upside if you factor in luxury vehicle tax but really dilutes that. Almost flat vs ordering a couple of months ago

How is a LR overpriced? Compared to what on the market currently. You’ve seen Fiat are asking £30k for the new electric 500.

Oh yeah. Being a bit thick today. Thing is that definition was put in place to make what you pay clear and maybe to stop sellers finding ways to effectively trouser the grant the way the olev one is.,but if they use that to assess eligibility it will be abused the other way round with massive delivery fees. Not sure they have thought this through. Could be a loop hole tesla could use though.

I don't think a £5000 odd delivery is believeable ! (for Performance)
However Elon is free to make anything an option so as to reduce the base price. eg AutoPilot

 

[SamBGB]

So they would need to drop the price by £525 roughly, didn't they just increase the price by £500 just recently?

Ok, quicker update than I was expecting, my sales contact in Bristol has replied to me to say that he is on the case and will put it on the portal when he gets home shortly - restores your faith and all of that!

oof you can put the hat on now, run your hand along the brim, and wink.

Optional wheels anyone?

This is why HMRC and DVLA include options and delivery in the BIK and luxury car tax list price. Too easy to abuse otherwise.

Bit deflated now lol took a while to convince the wife on the model 3 now.....

What happens with software upgrades added later on, if it takes above the threshold? Eg the LR acceleration upgrade?

This will probably be the difference between buying using est loan and buying using PCP.

Hopefully work comes back with doing salary sacrifice is an option.

NB: Delivery Fee, First Registration and Optional Extras are not included in the calculation of purchase price.

software upgrades are an optional extra, so ignored

Hi I have an M3P due to be delivered on 25/3, I have final invoice and reg number. Car was inventory vehicle. Up to now I was seriously considering cancelling due to market crash, interest rate reduction etc. If the price is locked in inc grant then I’m not sure what to do. Could maybe have a car which might make money now???

 

[Pazz]

Make money is probably stetching it, but it will certainly hold it's value well.

I had previously asked Zenith (company car salary sacrifice) about what would happen around if it wasn’t extended at all re potential delivery not being until June (but actually picking up this month) and they told me it was when you ordered that locked it in.

What has market crash or interest rate reduction got to do with anything if you’re paying cash?

I will be on the phone to Tesla first thing to check if my M3P has been registered on the OLEV Portal. I finally managed to get the bloody thing over the line and ordered yesterday, completed all relevant info today including approval from Black Horse but I just have a feeling that it won't go my way.
