Some should have had theirs delivered as they suggested they can deliver from yesterday. I've opted to wait till mid July
Mine is arriving on Monday the 24th. I will post the answer then unless somebody else does.It is being driven down from Shrewsbury, so about 180 miles to me.

Sounds like yours is being supplied by Greenhous, like mine was. It is being driven down from Shrewsbury, so about 180 miles to me.
Got my Advance 87kwh with Sky Pack (ordered from Xcite) delivered 10th May in Gun Metallic Grey and it came with the interior shown below.

Vaux Astra Electric hatch is £228 on a 3+23 on leasing.com
https://leasing.com/car-leasing/search/?finance=Pe...
The estate was similarly priced but this is the first decent hatchback deal I've seen.
I test drove one of these a few weeks back in the hope/expectation that they would turn up as a cheap lease. Really nice place to be and I'd be happy with one. Two downsides are that it is not that quick (full power only available in Sport IIRC) and it has a needlessly firm ride. https://leasing.com/car-leasing/search/?finance=Pe...

Yep mostly when it’s slow speed and just lightly press on the brake. Did call the dealership but they charge £140 if it’s something not covered under warranty (brake cleaning etc) which is pointless
I doubt there is much you can do to stop it then as it’s quite common. I’m not sure why they would charge you for a diagnostic though as your car is under warranty, a lot of dealers tend to have call centres with clueless people manning the phones so that’s always the possibility for the misinformation - They have to check all sounds pretty much and try to rectify, including those within the interior. zayn said:

I like look of that, I only do 4k miles a year and most of that is local driving and I rarely drive in the week only weekends. I've not had an ev before so no home charger but my local Tesco and petrol stations have them. With my type of mileage and usage do you think I could get away without getting home charger fitted ? At the moment sorting out a home charger putting me off.Thanks

Charging away from home can cost at least 7x (yes seven times) more than home charging.Thanks
4000 miles at 3.3 miles per Kwh = 1200 Kwh. Charging from public would cost you about £600. Charging from home about £84 (per year).
A charger from Octopus at the moment cost under £1000 inc installation.
Then there's the opportunity cost of having to go to the supermarket, then leaving your car there, checking whether the chargers are working, are available etc.
IMHO, too much hassle.

Do you have any more details on this? Is this for the 1.5 engine? Do you have a contact that you went through or just the General sales line?
As far as I'm aware it's this deal: https://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/car-l...DSG doesn't increase price by that much per month if it's of any interest to you.

Don’t be too hasty. If you only do 80 miles a week just charge from a regular plug socket. If you get octopus ev tariff and just plug in for 6 hours per night then that would give you around 40 miles per night of range. When you do a long trip occasionally then either plan ahead and charge each night or do a fast charge at a station. Lots of people get away with using a 3 pin plug it’s not that much hassle
Had an i3 for 3 years and used a 3 pin plug the whole time.Worked absolutely fine for us at around 10k miles per year.

No I went for the S. I drove both and the R is amazing- but having lived with a EQC for 3 years, I’m done with EVs with a 200 mile range.
The S is plenty fast and semi sensible.
Man getting old sucks
What term did you go for? Due to the high deposit cost, i think I’d be settling for 3 years.The S is plenty fast and semi sensible.

Added the roof and paint, which sadly you full pay across the term, no residual on options.
Still very happy
