[@MandyCleary-w5u]

Just spoke to Tesla GB and the incentive would be aded to your account after delivery and can be used for supercharging or Tesla products and will not be taken off the lease price. Also they said that as long as orders are in by the 13th they can be delivered by end of September. I also noticed that if you add another colour and not the free white it is also at a reduced price as is the white interior. This is a stonkingly good deal!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks

[@Pulpdiction1999]

Seriously interested in this, but the wording says: Referral Applied - £1,000 off of your vehicle price will be applied after ordering - that is not the same as applying a £1,000 credit to your account, I would expect £1,000 of the price, as it says, so cashback or similar, this kills it for me. Might as well go company car and pay no deposit £457 a month full maintained and insured, including tyres.

[@JonathanPriceUK]

@@Pulpdiction1999 Yes - I rather believed what Tesla's wording said when ordering : "£1000 off your vehicle price will be applied after ordering"

[@kjoshy8]

I wonder if you could order a Tesla wall charger with that £1000 credit

[@markpaul1154]

Living in Cornwall, there is nowhere to charge it. Nearest charges is 80 mile round trip.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

So get a home charger maybe? It will provide a good 220-240 miles. Public charging is expensive so most only use it on occasional long trips. If you could fill your car with petrol at home for 10x less than the petrol station I’m sure you’d rarely use the petrol station even if it were at the end of your street.

[@richarddixon6354]

This is a fantastic deal especially with the £1k off. Just had a Quick Look and noticed in their cost savings section they are basing the price of electricity at 35p KWh so if you charge overnight on a reduced tariff the savings will be even more. Sadly just a bit too big for me.

They're going to release the new version next year! If you don't mind not having the newer Y model (exterior and interior enhancements) and won't have that regret this time next year when you see the new model on the road then it's a good deal for sure.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Did you watch the bit on the video where I said that??

[@briandmerritt]

I didn't get to that bit 😊

[@kinghaycheong1986]

Just placed an order. The £1000 off is on the vehicle price, which only resulted in £289 per month instead of £299 per month with the 4499 deposit. It is something but certainly that £1000 pounds isn't as good as it sounds on paper

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

There are a lot of mixed messages on this, even from Tesla themselves, they should really make it much clearer.

[@kinghaycheong1986]

@DefinitelyNotAGuru especially they ask for £200 first and then show you the finance calculation. Probably can say I was mislead by the wording. Recently purchased a used model 3, will be interesting to know how much each will cost me at the end of 3 years.

[@AkbarMuhammad-n4i]

Agreed, @DefninitelyNotAGuru the £1,000 is taken off the full list price effectively reducing the monthly payments to £289, and as you’re not buying the car outright i.e. 3 year lease you are only benefiting 3 years of the £1,000 or £360 in effect. Bit naughty that I feel. Interested if anyone else has had a different experience.

So I think from the other comments on this. Video it’s £1k if you buy a car, £10 per month off if you lease then £500 Tesla credit once the car has been delivered. The complete lack on any explanation on the Tesla website is pretty poor. Luckily it’s an astounding deal with our without the extra incentive.

[@MandyCleary-w5u]

£1000 Tesla Incentive. So, it appears that if you buy on lease you get about £10 off per month (£360 over a 36 month lease) and it’s also adds a £500 Tesla credit pending in your Tesla app. I have checked this with a couple of other people and this seems to be how they are applying the £1000 incentive for lease purchases. I guess it will be confirmed when you take ownership of the car.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

A couple of others have told me the same thing - it's all good and the deal is good enough without it but I wish their wording was clearer.

[@safercyclinguk]

I did hear the new model will be cheaper due to improved reduced production costs. This may mean even better deals for those that play the waiting game.

Maybe but I have my doubts. I’m guessing they’ll drop the RRP by £3k and that might make a standard lease around £500 pm - all guesswork though

[@arvindmistry543]

Hi Jim On this deal is luxury car applicable now or next year when EV’ s are taxed?

[@rogerfinch7651]

With the most popular forms of new car leasing Contract Hire and Personal Contract Hire road tax is included for the full lease term. With an Operating lease or a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) tax is included for the first year, therefore it is your responsibility after this period. You pay the road tax up until the vehicle is purchased or collected and the lease terminated.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

PCH so don’t worry about it

[@Soulboy63]

​@@DefinitelyNotAGuru this is a lease deal though ?? Luxury car tax is for registration after April 25 , u done a vid on it ??😊

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Dude…you don’t need to worry about tax on a lease, only on PCP, HP, Loan, Cash etc. on a PCH the car is owned by the lease company so taxation is their problem unless they write something to the contrary into your agreement (which I’ve not seen in the past).

[@jamesraisonx]

​@@DefinitelyNotAGuruheads up - we've started to see most contain a line with words to the effect of "if the road tax changes significantly, we will pass the difference on to the customer" - so I think lease companies are starting to cover themselves against it suddenly becoming 180 quid Vs £0 or so next year, without having to raise the monthlies and appear less competitive at point of purchase. I believe margins are quite tight on some these lead lease deals, so the equivalent of £15 quid a month on road tax may well make a difference to the funders.

[@Mrl3en]

What happens after 3 years, are you expected to buy the car or can you return it?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Sorry to hear that

[@stephenmurphy5882]

Just got a txt saying the following - Tesla Action Required - Due to high demand, the delivery date of your order is currently estimated to be after September 30th 2024. To ensure you receive the current finance incentives for your Model Y on order, we need to update your order. Reply with YES to confirm this change, and you will receive an updated order confirmation Basically I have to change spec or it doesn't look like I'll be getting the motor or the deal. Obviously they want to delivery and get their quarterly sales up before the end of Sept. Messaged them through the app a few times and I must say the lack of communication in general is starting to annoy me.

[@pareshpatel466]

@@stephenmurphy5882 I was also initially told to order and that I'll get delivery by 30th September. The app now says 1st - 16th October. I've ordered white with dark Gemini wheels. Seems like the white/white combination are being delivered on time. What did they ask you to change the spec to out of interest? I'm thinking I'll receive a similar text soon.

[@KJ-iu7jx]

@stephenmurphy5882 Thanks for the update mate. What is strange I was assigned a VIN in the app and just this morning it was removed apart from Reg. Was the car faulty or given to somebody else I have no clue. And yes the in app chat is almost useless. Getting no information whatsoever. May I ask why you need to change spec?

[@stephenmurphy5882]

@KJ-iu7jx not entirely sure, the app previously mentioned est delivery of 20th to 30th Sept. Then that changed to just est delivery Sept, then the text today seems to have contradicted that. I'm currently trying to get clarification on the app chat/message facility to see if they specifically know what is going on. I did order the Midnight Cherry Red paint and Black Gemini Wheels so maybe because I didn't order the bog standard white car might be the issue I'm guessing. Or the fact my pick-up would be in Belfast. They might not have the inventory here and might not be worth their while financially to ship my specification over from say England where they would most likely have a much bigger inventory to choose from. That's my best guess for now anyway. Hopefully know more soon.

👍👍👍. Thanks Jim

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

[@stephenmurphy5882]

OK so I made a fresh order with a new £1000 referral link. Marc's one had been used up also by the time I ordered so I had to use a new one. It does indeed only discount the monthly figure by about £10 give or take a few pennies depending on the configuration. Reason being the £1000 discount referral link relates to the total value of the car. So roughly 45k plus, however over the 3 years of the lease payments you will be charged roughly 16k so the discount of £1000 is then calculated on a pro rata basis. Relating to the 16k element so basically you get between £350 and £400 off depending on configuration. This is very badly processed as you don't see what the discount link will do until you have confirmed your order. If somebody on here got confirmation that the £1000 would be credited as Tesla/Super charging credit. I think the Tesla advisor giving them the info gave them the wrong information.

[@stephenmurphy5882]

Original order total lease cost without any discount link £16,183.16

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s very badly explained - a couple of simple sentences on the website would have helped.

New order, exact same configuration with the £1000 discount link, total lease cost £15,835.40. Still a good deal but like you have just said a few sentences could stop it being misleading.

Just to clarify before I order. So if I choose one to be delivered and they don't get it to me before the cut off date, how does that work? Can I just cancel the order or would I be forced into paying a higher price?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

No idea but can’t see that happening. Also lots of differing news on what you actually get when doing a lease rather than a purchase, £10 per month discount and some Tesla credit seems like a popular answer. You couldn’t be forced into a higher price, you could I suppose get your order cancelled.

[@ccfc1972]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru thanks for the quick reply mate, never hired a car before and very much on the fence as to whether or not to go through with the order. Much higher insurance being a big concern...but i'm not sure I can resist the temptation.

[@JonathanPriceUK]

@@ccfc1972 apparently Tesla have said to others that as long as the car is ordered by the deadline delivery by end of September is OK. This will be my second PCH ... Previously I had a Renault Zoe ZE40 at £299/month on a 2 year deal (no initial payment)! Since then I've bought two used Model 3 (SR+ and LR) and a used Polestar 2 AWD

Im not sure a £1000 would be creited to your account. I ordered yesterday and it only appeared to take £10 off the montly finance cost (£289pm), totalling £360 saved.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Oh really, the wording is very ambiguous!

[@howdoo880]

​@@DefinitelyNotAGuruI have a snapshot of the breakdown. Happy to send it to you if you're interested.

[@burrell222]

Ordered this last week without any referral code. Drats. Delivery next week. Def too late now, right? Maybe 360 (30ish percent of 1k) off makes sense as the c.15k total cost of lease is c.30% of the value of the car.

[@howdoo880]

​@@burrell222I thought the same as you, seemed to be close to 1/3.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Tesla has advised that the £1000 gets added to your account to soend on things like supercharging and connected services, merch etc. it doesnt look like you will see it as cash!

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru that's for the swift response. I'm just thinking about longevity and the use for other car connections going forward (or friends family visit with different types) Have sent an information request to Electropoint who seem to have many options.

[@318ishonk]

Instead of leasing a Tesla I'd spend the 4 grand on a Citigo/Up/Mii (60 or 75PS engine) and for the 299 you could drive 2500+ miles every month (fuel cost) That type of car is super reliable, dirt cheap in maint./repair/insurance and the better deal in my view. Go for the deal, not for the car.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It's not the best comparison really; I think a lot of people getting a Model Y will want it as their main family car rather than a city runaround.

[@KR-of5jz]

I am torn between this or a used (2020) model 3 Performance. I am ready to purchase one now, just sold my Audi S5. I think I’ll be disappointed with the performance of the standard model Y, plus a used Tesla (from Tesla direct) has enhanced auto pilot, but only 12 months warranty, so I was looking at taking out ALA warranty. The battery will still have warranty for another 3 years or so.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Fair play, the model 3 is certainly going to be a bit more nimble than the Y - could your budget stretch to a 2021? You get a heat pump then and most of the chrome is gone.

[@KR-of5jz]

The used price for a 21 model seems to jump up a lot. I think I’d be happy without it. I was spending £80-£90 a week in fuel on the S5, plus tax, plus maintenance etc

[@stephenmurphy5882]

Sugar, just ordered without referral code. Seen this video, asked them could I add referral code they said no I would have to cancel. Suppose it's worth losing £200 deposit to get £1000 discount, I'm still £800 better off.

[@stephenmurphy5882]

Hopefully if I do reorder you'll get a referral bonus

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s only £10 a month off the lease according to some on here, others say it’s £1k of Tesla credit for supercharging etc. I have no idea what you’d get but it will cost you £200 to find out!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Mine has reached its maximum apparently so I’ve put my mate’s code in there now 👍👍

[@stephenmurphy5882]

Cheers I seen the name Marc coming up on the referral page. I think they might be allowing me to cancel with a £200 refund so hopefully I won't have lost out. I'll let you know if and when I reorder what the referral link discounts. If it is a £1000 that would be great, would more than cover my insurance for the year.

[@fifaboy9341]

After you placed the order and paid the £200 what documents do they ask for? Like any bank statements or something?

Could someone who has been through the Tesla leasing process let me know if I have ordered this correctly? There is nothing in my vehicle configuration to say that it is a lease that I have applied for, it seems to just show the price of the vehicle and how much I will pay (full vehicle price). It says in the terms that it should show that it is a lease in the vehicle configuration, but it doesn't. I need to add my driving license in the app in the morning to start the process, so maybe that is when you apply for the lease, i'm not sure. Help, can anyone clarify?
