The BEST Tesla Model Y Deal of 2024 You Won't Want to Miss!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Tesla £1,000 Link : www.tesla.com/en_gb/referral/siddharth3086? - im not sure if you get a reduced monthly payment (by £10?!) or £1000 Tesla credit (for supercharging etc) - loads of mixed messaging and no clear advice from Tesla. My code has now teached its limit so ive swapped it out for viewers code.

I guess if James gets 500 for each referral he'll be charging for free for the rest of his life!

[@michaelperry3713]

Why does this link now say that Marc got me 1000 off rather than James as in the video?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Because my link hit its maximum so I’ve swapped it for a friend’s

[@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"

[@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.

[@iaingallagher2505]

Thinking of getting this. The referral comes up as Marc now? Is this right? Also is it better to get the Tesla wall connector but how do you get fitted? We have a mini electric atm and need a wall connector and wondering if this is worth doing with Tesla order?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yes, mine reached his limit so I’ve put my mate’s code in. It looks like you maybe just get £10per month off the lease but others are reporting you get the £1k to use on supercharging. I have no idea what you will get with it at this stage Any 7kw wall box is fine - if you’re getting Octopus then also look at chargers compatible with it 👍

Ordered one using a referral link. Takes £1000 off the total vehicle price and £10 off the per month cost so ended up at £289.72. Ive email Tesla about this as being a lease deal we don’t actually benefit from the discount applied to the total vehicle cost. Not heard back. Its still a good deal even with £360 off

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yeah, but if a let down but an amazing deal without anything off to be fair. Every little helps I suppose but their wording seems quite misleading.

Hi James. I ordered my one last week So what happens with the £1000 , Can we use it ? Sorry confused as to what it’s all about.

[@abcdeffilms]

[@YepYep74]

So gutted . I’m due to pick mine up next Saturday . Configured it so Nicely with one of the new colours which hardly increased the monthly. And I put no deposit down at all. To cancel the order ? To start again ? Would that just reduce my monthly a little ? Or will it be credit to use on charging ? I dint know what to do 😮. I just don’t want to mess anyone around.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

lots of conflicting comments, some say you get £10 off per month which seems like the most likely. Probably not worth the hassle and to cancel would cost you £200!

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

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.

@@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.

[@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.

[@stephenmurphy5882]

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.

[@EverydayLife621]

Unbelievable Jeff (aka James)!! - So essentially for £1000 downpayment , which sort of equals £0 deposit (as you get £1000 in supercharging), and £399 / month , you get TESLA MODEL Y Leasing Deal (3Yrs, 10k Miles Per Year) 👍

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.

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?

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

[@philipgower2000]

[@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.

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!

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.

@@wakeywarrior cars aren’t an investment, however Pch is dead money, like renting. PCP you likely will get equity and use towards next car. Each pcp I have had I’ve won and had equity to use again next ur have. Speaking from experience is all.
