I did a quick search and it looked as though HP was permissible as well as outright but PCP and lease don't count - but i'm not an accountant and you can't trust everything online

It’s on the proviso it’s a business asset, so needs to be a purchase I guess.
66k, Tesla will offer an extra year's warranty regardless of mileage if you buy through their AUC.

I will keep an eye on their website but seems equivilant now is £22k+, does seem used priced have went up recently
Yeah just checked looks like it has unfortunately.
Might be worth waiting a couple months when the next batch of 3 year PCPs get handed back and the prices should drop.

This is not really a thing anymore, not sure it was even a thing in the first place.
I've spent a lot of time researching the limited company thing and you can lease, PCP etc. Through it and EV have much lower benefit in kind, which makes it worth it. You can use it for personal use no problem, and claim back 50% VAT. If you can prove it's purely for business use you can claim back 100%.
And obviously, lease, insurance, tax, repairs, maintenance all reduce your tax bill.

Ah fair enough. I don't track prices all that much. Just made sense in my head that the period where the PCP glut comes in would be when the prices dip. I just paid whatever I thought sensible for my M3 LR (well, there was basically minimal cost to change once I sold my 440i, so this was a major factor)
born mot today as 3 yrs old. 29k. Ends 5th sept but no delivery date on the VZ yet so will roll over. We all got tow bars in March so zenith gave us v5 numbers which avoided taxing it 
.
Agile free and negative all tomorrow so set the ohme for first time at don’t charger over 0p. Impressed with the integration into the car and octopus to tell you how much charge it will hit and the sesssions etc.
Setup Joosup and cocharger today too. Doubt I’ll get anything but thought I’d at least offer it up.

if fleet/biggest-segment ev purchases follow local water board , schedule is now a minimum 3 years, max 60K or 5 years - so their sale onto the open market can be spread across the year.
( whether that is ev specific or just cost-saving I don't know)

Dont understand how that’s different to typical
After nearly a month the car was finally collected and the full balance refunded.
The car ended up being dry stored and legal back and forth with the dealership. What an absolute pain in the bum. Any opportunity to drag their heels was taken.
Made me much more vigilant with purchasing a used vehicle now. I found more damage on it as glass was trapped in the door seals. So left me with so many questions. A Tesla certified repairer was going to charge £3800.
Now on the hunt for another Model 3. 2022/23 M3P or a 2024 M3LR AWD. What I didn’t realise from the outset is how much I like the Model 3. It slots perfectly into my life as an appliance and leaves me with a GSXR1000R for fun and my modified Fiesta ST when I want to be a teenager again. It’s just the perfect commuter to be stuck behind a tractor going 40mph…
It’s going to be a grey M3P or a Quicksilver LR with Nova wheels. I seem to always want a unicorn spec. Especially now since I won’t be buying from one of the biggest used Tesla dealers.

Out of the two, I would get the highland m3lr AWD over the non-highland m3p.
The non-highland m3p is just not special enough to justify getting it over the highland refresh
It'll be the same, just more relaxing.
Also if you need to charge away from a domestic type-2 (at all) then use the ABC method when you stop for toilet/drink etc. ABC = Always Be Charging since 5 minutes or charging is better than zero.
I've used the driver's screen for the last few days now.Just to add...
A major bonus is that the blind spot monitoring is always active and shows up on the driver's screen even when not indicating. Without the screen the blind spot monitoring only shows on the main central screen when you indicate (but a bit pointless as who the hell looks at the central screen to turn/lane change lol).
The blind spot monitoring is displayed as a yellow/red bar on either side of the driver's screen and easy to see in the peripheral vision. A lot more convenient/ergonomic and safer IMO.
Would fully recommend getting a screen for regular use. Especially as I paid c£126 for it, and the installation was easy and non-destructive.
The front bumper camera was also included in that £126 - which I will need to fit it at some point in the future

Figured I will need to charge at least one, but the motorway supercharger network looks good on the Tesla app, so it shouldn't add too much time to the journeyIt'll be the same, just more relaxing.

How’s it more relaxing when you have to worry about charging before you have even used an electron?It'll be the same, just more relaxing.

It won’t be the same either as you can’t fill up in seconds

We did our first one earlier this month was expecting chaos but tbh it was no hassle. 20 min stop for a charge and on way again. Far better than I was expecting tbh and being able to use the Tesla chargers it was cheaper too.
