Thanks, so realistically one big dog and a couple of airport suitcases?
Yep it’s a really good boot size. Only thing is checks a it’s a coupe back whether a big dog would have the height in the space.

For some reason the prices go up exponentially after 10k miles. For example going from 8 to 10k was <£100pm extra but 10 to 12k was >£200pm extra.

Car play is 2/3 of screen only but coming soon with full screen too .
Does it unlock automatically? Because BMWs have apple keys but you still have to tap to unlock which is annoying.

I just noticed that in my finance agreement they made a mistake and put excess mileage of 0p per mile

Oh nice!

I’m trying to get hold of the dealer as since paying the deposit I’ve had nothing confirmed in writing &#128528;

Don’t personally have mine yet but the local garage central Scotland said their demonstrator gets between 280-310 max from a full charge. That’s representative of multiple test drives so you can imagine everyone wanting to put the foot down during each test drive.

I guess unless someone is going to be doing a 250+ mile journey non stop it’s not that big of a deal.

Around 250 with fairly spirted driving in my R. More if I use range mode and go slow.

Went to see the Eletre in the flesh and test drove the R. The interior really is a nice place to be with top quality materials everywhere. IMO better than the most of the Germans brands.

The car is super quick but doesn’t try to rip your head off when you put your foot down. Will definitely have to be conscious so as not fall foul of the gazillion speed traps/cameras in London.

The service chap I spoke to was such a pleasure to deal with. Had loads of knowledge of the vehicle, which he shared and couldn’t do enough to help. Wonderful experience.

I do have to say though…after seeing the cars in the flesh, the black is definitely my colour of choice over the grey and yellow does look nice in person. I wouldn’t pay extra definitely pay the extra for that as it makes the car look much more meaner.

The kef sound system is really good and worth getting the upgraded version if you like good bases like me.

Good to hear it went well thanks for posting feedback on it, I nearly went for the standard grey but glad I upgraded to Galloway Green in the end. Last 2 cars have been black so fancied a change.

Was told the grey and black are the popular options. They had a green one on site which was lovely.

The car is packed with so much spec as standard and the space is huge. 6 foot and sat comfortably in both front and rear seats, with a bit more room to go.

My gripe would be how much you might need to take your eyes off the road to do things on the screen to your left but that’s probably true of most new cars nowadays.

I didn’t get one in the end.

The dealer experience was awful, it was so difficult to communicate with them, and I tried to order twice without luck, so didn’t fill me with confidence.

The product knowledge wasn’t great also, I was told no services needed but presented with a service plan. All started to sky rocket so backed out.

Will probably end up in another Tesla Model 3 Performance. Can’t stand the last 2 Tesla’s I’ve had but best of a bad bunch if I’m looking to make tax efficient decisions.
