The big question for me in all this is are subscribers going to be willing to pay £999 a month for a used car?
Mine was brand new when I got it as very early on the list but if I was to decide to change in 6 months time is someone really going to hand over £1k a month for a used car with 7.5k under its wheels as a very different proposition I would have thought? Not sure when Evezy intend to dispose of vehicles but I would assume 2-3 years?
Not convinced but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
Missed this, I just made the same point (not as well).Mine was brand new when I got it as very early on the list but if I was to decide to change in 6 months time is someone really going to hand over £1k a month for a used car with 7.5k under its wheels as a very different proposition I would have thought?

I think Evezy will probably end up having to cycle the cars out at the end of 2-3 years, otherwise as you say people aren't going to be as enamoured as they are currently where they're dishing out cars as fast as they can get them.
It might be the case that in 12-24 months Evezy does become more of a "pick and mix" EV subscription service as they set out to do, simply because the cars in their fleet will by and large have gone around a block a bit. In the early days though, pretty much everyone was getting a brand new or nearly new car, as if they'd leased it themselves, with none of the commitment or upfront cost downsides.

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head.
I got my i3 thinking it would be a stop gap before getting a new car (and my first EV) but nothing has really come close in terms of value for money.
Perversely, as you point out, their prices are too competitive for the sort of business they imagined they'd be doing. I'm paying £399 a month all in for a contract I can exit at any point I choose with no penalty. On top of that I don't have to find the initial 9 or 12 month rental that you have to plonk down on a lease.
It's no wonder they're completely oversubscribed. There's no downside other than the mileage, but even that isn't that bad (1000-1250 miles a month really isn't that bad, and it's more than a traditional lease).
The ridiculous thing is at £399 a month it's comparable with leasing an ICE car for <£200 a month when you take into account the saving on fuel and insurance. That's why ours is going nowhere, it's the perfect second car IMHO.I got my i3 thinking it would be a stop gap before getting a new car (and my first EV) but nothing has really come close in terms of value for money.

And my Zoe at 289 / month
I hope the commitment remains even when they force you to swap the car (which they will)
I doubt that will happen to be honest. My i3 from them has just turned 1, I fully expect them to want it back in 2 years time at the most and for them to not have a replacement available.I hope the commitment remains even when they force you to swap the car (which they will)
As it stands the i3 won't be practical for us before that time is up anyway.

this thread caused me to check what i signed up to end August 19 via Leaseplan (via drive electric). It was £575 a month plus 6 months upfront, 24 month contract. £695/mth all in then, for a M3P-
Leaseplan now showing £774 a month all in over 24 months, but to be fair that's the full fat Performance which logically you'd may a bit more for the bigger wheels, red brakes etc
I actually got a reasonably decent quote from Leaseplan today that I'm mulling over. Plugged it into my spreadsheet and it's basically £4,300 more than the best quote I got back in August 2019. Painful, but Tesla's prices went up £2k (I think? maybe more on the top end model) so not horrific.Leaseplan now showing £774 a month all in over 24 months, but to be fair that's the full fat Performance which logically you'd may a bit more for the bigger wheels, red brakes etc

Unrelated but the quote I got from Leaseplan says that they deliver the car to your home address? Is that correct? Is that what happened with you squirdan? If so, weren't you worried about any issues on the car re: paintwork, panel gaps etc?
I really want to swap my SR+ for a performance, and hope they honour the 799 that I agreed to at the beginning of November.
Though the more I think about it, even if they can't, I'd hardly disappointed with the SR+ at £599. The only niggles are the lack of Tesla app + winter real world range.
On the plus side I got an additional key card today for £20 so that at least keeps the other half happy and it's linked to her profile.

Not been contacted for them to fit the bluetooth solution so they can do away with keycard access yet?Though the more I think about it, even if they can't, I'd hardly disappointed with the SR+ at £599. The only niggles are the lack of Tesla app + winter real world range.

I had a Tesla service guy turn up at my door to address the steering wheel squeak and broken rear seat clip yesterday with no communication whatsoever from Evezy. The wife was out in the car so had to send him away..

I deal with Tesla direct (who are equally poor) who today claimed my faulty wiper washer is fine and who need to order a rear light unit for condensation even though I told them the fault when I called up to book it in and have had to wait over a month for a 20 minute appointment.
ive been called to have the bluetooth device fitted to the model 3 to enable drive without the key card - initially i was requested to drive 100 miles to their location, that was denied and they are now coming to me.
On a side note has anyone with an evezy sourced model 3 SR+ got the satellite google maps + traffic visualisation? I have, randomly. I've also just been prompted that i have access to the tesla spotify account, when prior to today my only option was to log in with my personal spotify credentials - i'm not going to start using the free one, just an observation. It leads me to think evezy have paid for premium connectivity, though i didn't know that was available in the UK yet.

Cheeky buggers. Makes me laugh they'd even ask.On a side note has anyone with an evezy sourced model 3 SR+ got the satellite google maps + traffic visualisation? I have, randomly.

Good news for SR+ drivers if correct. Maybe using it as a way to justify the £200 a month price hike for new subscribers.
Considering short term trial of lower cost EV via this company......but after a lot of reading over the web have discovered, for me a few major drawbacks:
1) impracticality of using a smartphone to access your own car daily (Why?!) -I dont use a SP and my regular trips to National Parks fell walking in remote areas mean that if I have a signal when I park up, the chances of me having one when i return is remote (phone flat, transmission no longer being received due to evening usage, atmospheric drop-out)
2)I had no idea you had to wait to hire a car for long undefined period to use it for a month - kinda impractical! / not like other car rentals which is typically same day
3) What is this Registration Charge coupled to undisclosed supply date?
I really want to like and support the Company / principal, however given that I want to accept their offer of a months hire and I am currently without wheels......
