gateway2lease it's their main offer at the moment... I'll believe it when I see people get their cars. But it could well be real, we've seen similar deals come to be.
Ah yes! THAT deal, business only so no good for me and just doesn't seem plausible. Good luck to those who go for it though. kingBadger said:

I've got a feeling that the M3 is going to be the mass market car which devalues the least in the coming couple of years so maybe we will see some decent deals.
Isn't that a contradiction in terms? If there is market saturation of the cars, then how is it supposed to maintain a high value? If you're competing with like 50+ other people trying to sell their Model 3 at the same time, then the differentiator is going to be cost.springfan62 said:
Both good combinations.
I did consider it and I love the looks and concept but I was put off by the so-so reviews and above all by the fact, being rather tall, I don't think I would fit in it.
The Alpine is a bit softer and more refined than the 4c from what i understand.
I think PH is probably more populated by people with these combinations than the general public.I did consider it and I love the looks and concept but I was put off by the so-so reviews and above all by the fact, being rather tall, I don't think I would fit in it.

I have a Model S Performance, a V12S Vantage 7-speed manual, a Morgan 3 wheeler and an RS3 (which will shortly be replaced by a Model Y when they get the factory running). The Tesla makes the RS3 and the RS6 it replaced feel embarrassing. The Vantage and Morgan however will always make me laugh and likely never be sold.
I agree with the other posters that normal ICE cars will shortly start depreciating like stones. I drove to Scotland and back in the Tesla last weekend, 1,000 miles. Total cost £20 (or £60 if I had to pay for superchargers which I don't). Last time I did it in the RS6 it cost me over £200. The Tesla is faster, quieter and much cheaper. The only issue is you do spend longer charging than you did filling with petrol. But I just count the £20s I am saving to make myself feel better....

More people want an EV than can afford. We will see as all of these hit the second hand market in the coming years.

And, if the previous poster is right and ICE cars start ‘to depreciate like stones’ (whatever stones depreciate like!) then the masses may well still buy those.

The other thing is the manufacturing costs of the cars is decreasing due to the cost of batteries falling.

Who knows? If they don’t depreciate quite significantly there may not be that many who can afford them.

Wait, do I need to point to an Econ 101 class? Because you're stating the obvious but are apparently confused as to cause and effect/Q&D?And, if the previous poster is right and ICE cars start ‘to depreciate like stones’ (whatever stones depreciate like!) then the masses may well still buy those.
Just placed an order for a Model 3 Performance. To say that I'm excited would be an understatement, went to have a look at one at the weekend and it does look rather good. Not even driven one, but the deal offered was took good to hang about on, unfortunately, it's only available to NHS employees via salary sacrifice.
It's a lease for 10,000 miles per annum on 1+23, including fully comp insurance, maintenance, tyres, breakdown cover, and installation of a charging point at home for the princely sum of £384pcm. Car due to arrive in May.
As a total petrolhead, it'll be interesting to see how I get on with an EV.

Best car I've ever had. Make sure it's well charged and I guarantee the first time you pin the accelerator from standstill you'll be smiling all day, once you've stopped swearing that is.

No choice on this deal unfortunately. It's Pearl White outside and black on the inside.What colour combo have you gone for?
Has anyone bought roof bars for a Model 3? My googling suggests that the only bars available are those direct from Tesla at a cost of circa £450. I'd rather not pay that much, but, if that's the only option then I may have little choice.
