Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 After blazing a trail with a Nissan Leaf 6 years ago, I've just ordered a Tesla Model 3 on lease through work. Cheaper to own and run than my 7 year old golf due to the 0% BIK tax rate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Thats pretty cool, I had a proper look at one at an event thing earlier this year, they're very impressive. Its sort of a shame that Musk is just such an arsehole in public that it would actually give me pause on getting a tesla...if I could afford one in the first place.

ewerk 26192 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Teslas look to be an awful lot of money for what you get. Ideally I’d like an Audi e-Tron but not at the price they’re at now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Model 3 looks like a Hyundai Ioniq with a massive iPad stuck on the dash. It isn't a bad looking car but for £42k+ I'd expect a bit more. It may make sense if you're leasing like J69 but I wouldn't be rushing to own one outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34189 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) That's got to be a wild lease payment. Get yourself a Focus like everyone's TT hero has got. Sexy Vignale obv but still just a 1 litre focus. 😎😎😎 This was re the Tesla, not HMHM's Zulumobile. Edited October 12, 2020 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My salary is in the sweet spot for a salary sacrifice lease car as if drops my wage from the 12% pension bracket to the 9% bracket. So I save a big chunk in pension contributions alongside tax/NI. Coupled with the 0% BIK tax for electric cars it's about as cheap as I'll ever get one It will affect my pension marginally when I'm 68 but it's chance to have disappeared by then anyway, if I'm not already dead from the next pandemic.

I’m in my early forties, only passed my test 4 years ago (a total fluke) and haven’t driven since. I can say, with a fair degree of confidence, that you’re still a better driver than I am.

Renton 17630 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 When will driverless cars become a reality? My new one has driving assist which nudges you into the middle of the lane etc. In theory you can take your hands off the wheel but no way would I trust it. Also brakes if you get too close to the car in front. I was driving under a metro bridge when a metro went over it, and the stupid cunt of a car slammed on the brakes. Doesn't inspire confidence.
