Quite annoyed at having been told switching colour would only delay my allocated delivery date 2-3 weeks. Total bks
Have you had a delivery date?

I placed my order at the beginning of May, and haven't heard anything yet.

Oh dear, turns out I can't finance my car after the wife doesn't feel confident about getting a second mortgage for a short term just after I got a delivery date at the end of the month. Disappointed, but also have an Evezy Model 3 although I am a good way down the waiting list.

I got my SR+ from evezy last Friday with the intention of swapping into a performance when they have stock but now I'm not so sure, this seems quick enough for a daily driver

More to the performance than just 'performance'. AWD (which I imagine will come in handy in the winter with all that torque), better stereo, better satnav, range increase etc.

All depends whether you believe the benefits are worth the extra £200 a month of course. I decided with the all in price being so competitive, why not?

The LR gives all of that, and better range than the P, without all the "bling" to boot. As tempting as 0-60 in 3.2s is, I think I'd plump for the LR and save the best part of £4000.

No bling on the EVEZY performance model (no PUP pack), and it's the same price as the LR.

I'll take the 3.2 and lose a bit of range ta. smile

As above. All the performance with none of the bling or hard ride. Perfect M3 IMHO. thumbup

Yep. Last company car was A6 black edition on 20's with sports suspension.

Looked lovely but the ride was a pain and had to replace 2 tyres due to pothole damage. Just doesn't work well on badly maintained UK roads.

The stealth has the same range as a long range also.

Chill mode in both gives identical numbers so not surprised.

100bhp/100ft-lbs more in sport mode for the performance over the LR though, which I'm sure will shorten it somewhat. smile

Collecting my P- or stealth spec on Friday 530 from Tesla W Drayton. Good news is with 6 months of my Admiral policy left they refunded me £240 today vs an X5M.

2yr lease via Drive Electric came out at 1x £3200 plus 23x £540. 8k miles pa. when I signed this last week Tesla had 2 stealth specs looking for a home - one black, one red.

Bought the Nomad wireless phone charger mat

Ready to go now!

Works out at around £1 per mile all in (plus electricity costs).

Is that a good deal for a Model 3?

EVEZY charge £799 a month for the performance Model, and that is genuinely all in (free public charging, insurance, tyre cover, maintenance) for 12k miles per year (15k is £20 more a month).

So that's £9588/12000=80p per mile, or £9828/15000=66p per mile. I'll be doing 15k per year so very happy with that cost and no long term commitment.

Agreed for that mileage evezy is prob better. I’ll do c 5k miles a year. The cost is the cost, the per miles is not the key angle for me.


Tbh I got bored of waiting for one. And last 2 cars were black and showed every mark scratch and dirt. Also hate the camera.

Mind you, also worth considering:

Potential loss of your NCB as no active policy in your name

The fact they can take the car away at a moments notice...no commitment works both ways!

All I know is, I cannot think of any other car with the same performance, that I can run for this money. Regardless of how you get one, the model 3 looks a bargain to me on a £ for performance basis. Running costs are the icing on the cake

Agree on the cost of the M3P, and for me the risk of using EVEZY is very small. At the end of the day unless they go pop (which with the funding they're getting is highly unlikely) I see no issue.

I've had an i3 from them for 5 months and the camera doesn't bother me at all.

Last 2 cars have been black and have some proper kit for looking after black paint so will see how it goes.

I've been running company cars for years so have no proper NCD to lose anyway, which makes EVEZY even more compelling as I imagine insuring the M3P myself would have been pricey. smile

The black 3 looks gorgeous, and will stay looking gorgeous until you drive it literally anywhere for any small amount of time :/

Had a black car before, smart when clean for those driveway photos...

You just have to know how to look after it and put a bit of effort in with some decent products. High maintenance I agree, but as with the wife well worth it in the end. smile

Cars typically stay much cleaner here than UK (at least the bit I lived in) but still nope...

Sounds good, it’ll be interesting to hear how you get on with it when it arrives. The whole phone app entry, insurance and in car camera of evezy put me off getting an i3 from them. I’ve seen reviews and where renters have to walk off to a good signal area, log into the app (which often crashes), unlock the car and then walk back to be able to drive off.

Much simpler to give the renter the car keys like a normal long term rental. Seems too much of a faff. I think you made the right choice to just lease one.
