I have the option of a Tesla S 85 (low spec version) new, 2 year leased all in with insurance, servicing just add fuel for what amounts to about £350pm net. Currently drive a 6 month old 2014 Q7 S-Line and am trying to convince myself that this is too good an offer to refuse. I don't really need it, but it would replace our second car (Jeep GC) and opportunities like that don't come by every day.

Talk me out of it...

Wow. £350 is pretty good, what do you mean by "nett" and how do you get to that figure?

That's very cheap - what's the upfront £ ? I'd have one at that price.

nothing up front, £350pm walk away at the end

The Net figure comes from as it would be through a company car scheme so I'd sacrifice some allowances, but not much compared to the car!

Id go for it at that price. Bear in mind the BIK rate kicks in next tax year if its treated as a company car.

yep, thats true - 5% in 2015 then 7% in 2017 which will add about £140 a month

Still a bargain compared to the cars that will cost you that in tax. Sure someone on here leases one that will have a more accurate figure, but the current lease deals are showing well over double that figure with 6 months upfront.

Sounds like an amazing deal, and probably a third the cost of what you would pay on the open market.
