So do you have to order 3 or what? What's the criteria for this deal?

Really? The standard Leaseplan deal offered at the moment is 40% more than the above, but that's 10k rather than 5k.

yes

£556 for this 2 year 10k deal versus £775 with leaseplan on the same terms so 40% more.

Be interested if this deal does actually come through for the people who've signed up. Why specify fleet sizes if not relevant to the application and how are they undercutting everyone else's take on residual values on a car with zero discounts available?

Something seems off but good luck to everyone who's signed up as if genuine and attainable is a great deal on a cracking car. smile

A mere 40% more expensive, huh?

Yep. A lot better than the 100% suggested though?

As I said, it was the best I'd been able to find. Now it's merely exorbitant rather than ruinous.

That is even better than deals earlier in 2019 and straight-lined, works out at £595/month inc VAT for 10k miles (£14280 in total, or 25.5% of the list price over 2 years). As has been said that is way cheaper then any other current player, so either they have screwed up (and the cars won't materialise or they'll pull the offer very quickly) or they (or whoever is the funder) are being far more optimistic about the residuals.

The current lease costs from the other providers do seem rather ridiculous now, so fingers crossed this is the latter...

Those prices make no sense when you consider that Tesla don’t do volume discounts, and every other lease company is quoting the same rates give or take £75 p/m or so.

Good luck if you get it though.

I guess as it’s a business only deal so maybe aiming for fleet buyers and so they managed to get more discount?
Criteria is that you have to have a fleet size of at least 3 cars in your company so the deal won’t apply to everyone but if you do have a limited company and a fleet size of at least 3 cars then it’s a great deal for you

Do you have 3 cars in your business fleet or are you getting 3 of these, I'm still confused with this deal.

Seeing as the model3 has not devalued at all since it went on sale in the UK they might be calling this right. Has anyone ever seen a second hand one for sale for any kind of significant discount?

Well listing price isn’t the same as sale price.

Been watching Tesla-info and have got it set up to notify me, and I haven’t seen anything really moving.

I guess we need an M3 to show up at an auction.

I'm sure there are a few cars that when launched don't depreciate but IMO as there is more supply into the market they will begin to depreciate.

Elon musk however has a totally different take on the whole thing.

Tesla could make the 3 even faster if they wanted to. The latest software has reference to a 100kwh 3. Probably 2.4s to 60 like the S. I wonder if they are planning to beat the Taycan around the ring... but with a 3 and an S. Hell they could probably do it with a Y too just for lols.

The new Roadster is going to be absolutely crazy.

Good info they've recently dropped the cell count from 4400 to just over 4000.

Easy to knock that back up again to near 90kwh without changing the pack /module design .

Obd2 apps saying 430kw so potential 480kw then, wonder if the motors and invertor could cope.

I don't think a few runs on a runway are the best way to judge a Porsche, or any sports car German or otherwise, for that matter. I have a 12 year old supercharged Ariel Atom that would be quicker than both of these on a runway for instance, but that doesn't make either the Model 3 or 911 badly engineered.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Porsche could make their 911 faster too. wink

Whatever, I know which of those I’d have. Every time.
