EVEZY Discussion thread

[squirdan]

i'm getting ready to take the leap...I'm registered but there seems to be zero certainty as to when I'd actually get a Tesla M3 from them..

and they aren't ordering any performance models according to the chap on the phone... the LR ones they get, thats it, will be standard only going forwards which is a shame .

Anyway, using their advertised LR price of £799, vs drive electric 3yr lease of an M3Perf at £514, plus spreading the £4633 lease "deposit" over 36 months, thats another £128, plus in my case c. £100 a month insurance gets me to £742 equivalent

Servicing also extra but not convinced thats worth much when I'll do c. 5k miles a year.

So is it as simple as I in effect pay an extra £50 a month to avoid being locked in, or perhaps to avoid having to declare the financial commitment if say I applied for a new mortgage?

Also has anyone looked into the status of your deposit while you wait? Not overly keen to be an unsecured creditor for £3k just in case theyve outgrown themselves and run out of cash !

Pretty much - I personally think the benefit of not being locked in is a huge plus point.

I would have thought it may be sensible to pay the deposit on credit card ? I'm not completely sure what the protection offered by a credit card is, but I understand there is some.

Don’t forget to use a referral code if/ when you sign up for £50 off (mine’s d55d6) - and don’t discount the potential to get referral credits yourself given they appear to be growing quite quickly…

Personally if it was going to be just £50 difference I would go EVEZY, don't forget supercharging is included in that price as well. As said, I would pay deposit via credit card to get extra protection. As for referrals they definitely help and can be significant if you work at it.

The big thing for me would be getting 12k miles per year rather than 5k. Circumstances do change and I'd imagine going over the mileage would eat up any saving very quiclkly on the lease deal.

And of course, there's the 1 month commitment rather than 3 years which at the rate of change happening with EV's at the minute is a lifetime.

With regards to the LR I heard the same yesterday, they aren't taking deposits as don't know what they are going to get and have no plan for the performance model (I assume due to it being more expensive).

Bit of a shame as that's now the M3 LR and iPace I was interested and looks like both aren't going to happen..

[MaxSo]

I thought of a key downside of Evezy - especially with a Tesla - you can't currently take the cars outside of the UK.

If had a Model 3, I'd especially want to be able to drive it on the European mainland I think.

[SWoll]

I see that as similar to the "I can't do 500 miles on a single charge" issue. It would be nice but for 99% of subscribers I'd suggest a non issue. With the monthly mileage limitation you aren't going to get very far anyway before it gets very expensive at 30p per mile, and then they ask for their car back as per the terms of the contract if you really take the piss?

An upside for a lease deal instead I suppose, if you wanted to do 3k in a month you could.

[MaxSo]

I suppose, but it wouldn't be too tricky to schedule a euro trip to overlap two months which could make it easier.

For example, if I was allowed to take my i3 to Europe we would probably drive to Brussels or Bruges in it. For a start that's really not very far from London, and if I set off on the 10th of a month and came back on the 15th, say, that would straddle two subscription months for me - meaning the impact on the remaining monthly mileage is effectively halved.

I know Evezy are looking into allowing European travel though - so hopefully it won't be an issue soon.

(I did 317 miles at 30p last month and they haven't taken it away ...yet! )

I had a separate email saying how much they would take from me, and when it would be. My month end is the 18th and they've just taken the £15.70 extra off me today, so 10 days later.

Ah yes- I've had the invoice email for then excess mileage - I just meant they haven't taken the car away...yet!!

Placed my reservation deposit for M3 Standard+ this morning.

Bit disappointed that they have no record of me inputting my referral code online and they arent interested in rectifying it either.

Also, the website and app leave a little to be desired.

Ah that's a bugger - it could maybe worth trying some different contacts to see if they can help... could try emailing these names @evezy.co.uk

Ivan, Justin, Melissa, Rob

The website and app are a work in progress for sure - the app has been recently updated and is much better than it was, and I gather they are actively working on adding more features etc.

[MaxSo]

For anyone interested in Evezy and looking to compare it against other lease options, including ICE options, this spreadsheet I made a while back may be of use....

All you should need to do is fill in the relevant sections and it should automatically calculate the "amortised" monthly, and the overall monthly cost, and the average cost per mile taking into consideration all factors.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ARUrS7YaFM...

It was originally created with ICE cars in mind, so it needs some work to adapt it for EVs.

For my i3 - which I've added and highlighted blue - I've manipulated the 'MPG' to reflect the actual average electricity cost of 2.5p per mile that I've experienced to date.

Also, let me know if there are any suggestions to improve it.

despite being told the EXACT OPPOSITE a week or so ago, Evezy are now taking deposits on the M3 performance. And claiming they will be ready to go first week of August

I dont know how many are coming, and clearly it depends on tesla, but as their recent numbers show, deliveries are ramping up. Anyway- they've taken my £3200 (essentially the first 4 months subscription upfront)

I believe they will be black / black

if you want one - get on the phone!

v odd business model that you have to ring rather than do it online, and their own staff don't seem to really know the facts. not scalable at all, but thats their problem not mine.

this will be a good 6 months or so stopgap until my polestar 2 arrives Spring 2020

EVEZY referral code: 1e360 (money off for you and for me :-))

I'm keen, but not at £799/month, and not without the Performance Pack. Seems like a strange spec to have FSD - a far costlier option - than the Performance Pack which adds a load of things. My gut feeling is that £799/month wouldn't represent a massive saving over PCP, in the same way as - for example - the i3 I have does (or did at the time).

From what I've read the cars come with the tech to support FSD whether you order it or not, and I imagine there are going to be firesales on it from time to time. Then again perhaps Evezy have negotiated a significant discount on it.

I'm in the same boat - a Model 3 (even the SR+) would be nice to have over the i3. It would be good for the 150 miles each way journey I do quite frequently. But for the sake of £200 per month (£399 vs £599), I'll stick with the i3 and charge for 20 mins or so thanks.

Plus, the i3 going to be better suited to London driving I imagine.

[Durzel]

Yeah the Evezy Model 3 is definitely more of a "what would it be like to own a Tesla" thing rather than something I'm seriously considering. If the prices had been £100 cheaper and the i3 was a lot more compromised than it is it would've made it a much harder decision and might have even swung it, but as it is the lease prices I'm being quoted are making me think I'd probably save £50 or so going with Evezy, whilst not having the key and possibly not even Tesla app access.

...and the i3 - as you know yourself - is rather sublime. I've gone from thinking it was a punt to see what EVs are like to thinking I could find myself buying one of these (if Evezy started bumping up their monthlies)

I think we should try and convince them to get some i3s's for maybe £25 more per month! - I would have thought the residuals would be better so it might be to their benefit too

FYI, the premium for like for like 's' i3s is +£37/month through select leasing.

[manracer]

I'm really torn now. I've already paid the reservation deposit for a m3 sr+, now I'm tempted to move up to the performance.

[SWoll]

I'm planning on going all in and running both the i3 and an M3 performance from evezy.

Having done the maths the M3P still works out very simlar to a PCP/PCH deal once you take the mileage allowance, insurance, maintenance and charging into account but means that if going 100% EV causes an issue for us we can change within a month and revert to an EV/ICE setup.

Just need to get that deposit down now and then fingers crossed for early August delivery.
