Decision Time - Tesla MYLR or not?

[MarkM2]

Urgh, mulling over an offer of a MYLR on salary sacrifice at the moment, it's one of the preconfig'd units Octopus are shifting end of June (got to sign by tomorrow night). Problem is, they're a jellymould white good, not as comfortable as the M3LR (but £100pcm cheaper), and I'm tied in for four years or until I leave the company (I change my car quite frequently, only one I've held onto recently has been the M2C). Test drove one, seemed 'okay', can't really complain about much apart from the ride (but apparently deflating to 39psi will sort that to a degree).

So, £520pcm 10k a year, 48 months, no insurance but everything else covered. It'll save me £180 a month in fuel (I'll either charge it at work, or worse case, Octopus Intelligent at 0.075 a unit).

Am I setting myself up for four years of purgatory here? Opinions VERY welcome

Thanks a lot all for replying - plenty of food for thought there!! ONLY reservations currently are the (perceived) ride being harsher on the Y than the 3 - that's after back-to-back test drives along that horrible 'concrete' bit of the A1/M1 link that'll shake your fillings out - and the fact that it's white. But it'll be cheap as chips motoring, so beggars can't be choosers!

Other alternative is the M3LR RWD, but that's only got the partial premium interior and I'd miss the full-fat 14 speaker jobbie

Will keep you updated!

After all that, I ended up getting a M3LR, not MYLR, on a PCP now Tesla have updated their PCPs for personal customers to 0% - it works out cheaper over the same term (£0 deposit) per month than our Octopus SS. Not hesitating and missing it, probably shifting with the new facelift out in November or so. And I don't have to get a white one ;-). Thanks for all the input guys!!

I am on my second (white!) Model 3, and I think they are a great all round package. That finance deal looks good.

cheers lad, I don't mind the white M3 at all actually, but white on the MY is a bit 'much' for my little driveway I did suggest white last night to the Mrs for the M3 but she preferred Grey...

What IS weird is that on their inventory, you order one (it LOOKS like it's the only one of its kind available, for the price (and there's no more at that price)), it tells you where it's located, you go through the rigmarole, THEN you look at the inventory again after purchase and there's another one, same spec and price (again, only one), located somewhere else! (in this case, NEARER to me!)... Are they just dripping these on to make them look like 'can't miss that' cars?
