Great news for subscribers of the Tesla Model 3, you will get a key!
The app relies on an internet connection rather than Bluetooth on Evezy's other cars, so in the event you don't have signal, they are giving keys as a backup. This is extra ammunition for me in the argument with the wife to swap our i3 for the Model 3!

Is it really as easy as this?
Pretty much.They're a victim of their own success at the moment though. A few months ago you could choose a car and have a pretty reasonable amount of time to wait before you got it. I signed up on 08/04 and was driving the car by 22/04.
As has been said there seems to be a wait time on every car now, and from what I've heard a rather strange "first to respond wins" allocation system when a car does become available. Hopefully they'll sort this out in the coming weeks.
But yes - it is basically perfect if you want to see if an EV fits your needs with no commitment beyond the 10 day notice period. At the time I signed up I couldn't find a comparable PCP deal that was close to what Evezy were offering for an all-in service. I actually thought it was too good to be true and must have some sort of catch, but I'm still driving the car 4 months later and I've been fortunate to get a couple of referrals to reduce the price by £50.
I do actually really like the fact that you pay one company a fixed fee every month and everything is taken care of - free public charging (on Polar), insurance, maintenance, tax. You don't have to worry about renewals or anything. As someone in IT who is used to SaaS the subscription model feels very contemporary, as befits the tech itself.

That's great. Wonder how they are going to handle keycards going missing though (or worse - cloned, if that's possible), as they are sure to do.The app relies on an internet connection rather than Bluetooth on Evezy's other cars, so in the event you don't have signal, they are giving keys as a backup.

I suppose it begs the question why would you ever use the Evezy app if you've got one of the keycards?
The email sent to those waiting for a Tesla Model 3:
Welcome back to Tesla Thursday!
We hope these updates are helpful and provide you with the information you are looking for. Feel free to get back to us with suggestions for content you want to see in the future!
Vehicle Deliveries
The good news: The first few M3's are out with members today. Exciting.
The even better news: We are receiving a large delivery from Tesla late next week, and our wonderful team has volunteered to work over that weekend to make sure we have them ready for you by the first few days of September. A lot of you will be receiving a call from us very soon to book in your collection (or FREE delivery)! Don't worry, if you can't pick up our call we will follow up with an email.
If you don't get a call or email from us in the next few days, we hope to have another update from Tesla regarding the next delivery dates by next Thursday.
App Features
As you may have guessed by now, our team has been working behind the scenes to incorporate the Tesla M3 into our Evezy App.
Given the way Tesla's technology works, the interaction with your car will be slightly different than with the rest of our models, so if you already have an Evezy subscription you will notice some changes in the way our App works.
1. Our Evezy App will communicate with your M3 over the internet, not via Bluetooth.
Pros: You can connect to your car and use the features anytime, anywhere. You do not have to be close to the car to connect.
Cons: You cannot use our App to unlock the car without data or WiFi. However, we will be providing you with the Tesla physical keycard to ensure you always have access to your car.
2. Our team has incorporated most of the features from the Tesla App into our Evezy App. Here is a summary of what you can expect to find.
Tesla features already replicated and successfully tested on Evezy App:
Climate: Interior Temperature, Auto Conditioning ON/OFF, Driver & Passenger Temperature Setting.
Controls: Connect/WakeUp, Lock Doors, Unlock Doors, Honk Horn, Flash Lights.
Charging: Charge %, Charging status (disconnected, charging, etc), Charge Start/Stop, Charge Port Open/Close, Charge Limit Settings.
You can access all these features by connecting to the car, and then going to "Feature" on the bottom menu of the screen.
Tesla features we are still working on and hope to release in the near future:
Defrost: ON/OFF,
Trunk: Open/Close front and back.
You can still use these features from the M3's touchscreen, just not from the App yet.
Finally, we want to thank you for joining us in this journey and hope to hear all about your experience with the M3!
As always, if you have any questions we are here to help.
Thanks,
The Evezy Team

their Tesla Thursday email has gone out to anyone on the Tesla list. They are saying a "big delivery" is due late next week. no definition of what quantity though, but claim to be working through the weekend to process them
If I dont get the call / email in the next 3 days I'm bored of waiting and going to do a standard (normal) lease on an iPace instead
£530pcm for an HSE (plus 6 months deposit) so about £660k true monthly over a 24 month contract. Add in £100 a month insurance and its about the same as the £799 Evezy charge (pros and cons to both)
both good cars, I much prefer the look of the iPace, if not the brand.
funny thing is, if the Ipace had a Tesla badge and a bit more range, and the same large touchscreen, to my eyes that would be perfect !
the other odd think is the monthly costs being the same whereas the iPace in theory is £20k higher list. I dont care as I'm not buying either but its hard to get your head round as the monthly payment mainly covers the depreciation, which must surely be much bigger absolute number on the Jag ??

i find the whole "when are the cars coming" (and how many) thing impenetrable
I just spoke to a normal leasing company, they have told me I can have a midnight silver Performance, its a physical car already on UK soil, and have it delivered to me within 10 days. It was a cancelled order, and that info has come from their dedicated contact at Tesla UK, who has been on the money on delivery dates for other M3's, including their finance director's, which was delivered yesterday apparently
hard to know what to believe !

The HSE spec is also a significant improvement on the S model that EVEZY were offering. I'm assuming for that price the mileage is 5k per year though as per the early iPace deals, with 15k coming in more like £750 a month without insurance, charging or maintenance?If I dont get the call / email in the next 3 days I'm bored of waiting and going to do a standard (normal) lease on an iPace instead

Insurance is a significant one on the Evezy Model 3 I think. I've struggled to get reasonable quotes on a P3+, cheapest has been around £800 from memory, thats ~£66 a month right there.
As I understand it the Evezy Teslas come with free supercharging too? Not sure if that's on top of free Polar charging but I imagine it is, so that's another nice bonus.
I still think it's very peculiar that Evezy specced the LR and Performance models they're offering with FSD. Every lease company I've spoken to said it's just a straight cost upgrade with no retained value as far as they're concerned. Perhaps Evezy got such a good deal buying lots of cars that FSD was a nominal cost upgrade.

When I signed up the EvEzy I3 costs where significantly less than an i3 lease.
Lease costs have come down over the summer so it's marginal now - so there are advantages and disadvantages to the EvEzy model.
As an aside I used my V8 petrol car to get to Leeds and back yesterday - £60 quid in petrol!!

Yeah, the difference was pretty shocking. I too looked into it and there was no downside at all to Evezy compared to leasing, except for Evezy just disappearing overnight. I'm really not bothered about not having a key, it's never been a problem.Lease costs have come down over the summer so it's marginal now - so there are advantages and disadvantages to the EvEzy model.

As the business matures, people will have a much higher chance of getting a well used car. If I send mine back the next person will be paying the same as me but will have a car that has 6k plus on it.A key would be better definitely and you can spec your own on lease - and also I can't add my son to the insurance due to his age and the terms won't allow him to drive on our insurance.
I'd think in a year or two when they have a mature fleet and you can sign up and be driving a choice of vehicles with very little notice they will have a most compelling offering.
I've cancelled my Evezy M3 reservation this morning so that's 1 less place to be filled
I don't want to wait any longer AND i agree with previous post re cost of leases
I've signed a 2yr lease at £694 pcm (having taken into account the £3454 initial). Through a broker but leaseco is Leaseplan
Thats for a M3 performance, midnight silver, white interior, 20 inch wheels, no FSD. 8k miles a year
not much in it really vs the £799, once insurance is factored in and I'm happy with the 2 year financial commitment. Also prefer the dark grey and light interior

Yeah that's true, I keep forgetting that to be honest. One of the reasons I went for the 120Ah i3 was that I knew it had only just come out at the start of the year so was almost certain to get a brand new car. My one has 4k on it now, and perversely I don't think I'd sign up now if I knew I was going to get the car I've already got... if that makes sense.squirdan said:

5 months is a bit of a strange initial payment, any reason you chose that?I don't want to wait any longer AND i agree with previous post re cost of leases

That's the main reason it's difficultt to compare to a traditional lease.When I signed up i got a car within days (could have been two days if I was able to collect on the day they suggested) and the car of my choice within the same month. The car I got was brand new, delivery miles only.
You would think in a year or so people will be signing up and using it more like a long term car hire than a lease replacement.
When you compare the price to short term lease / longer hire then it's pretty compelling.
