Model 3 Highland
Discussion
Will hopefully sort out the awful 'upturned-lips' ugly front end. Better batteries and motors are welcome, as are better seats. I'll need convincing about the lack of stalks and the fully-electric 'steer by wire' though.
Currently a '22 LR owner (well, 18m into a 36m lease). If it looks to be a step on I'm interested in a Performance one of these next.

Almost pulled the trigger on a new Model 3 Performance a few weeks back but got cold feet due to the imminient release of the 'facelift' Highland.
Not in any rush here so happy to wait to see what improvements have been made. Hopefully new colour choices, improved battery, better performance, sharper styling, and the updated hardware 4 to name a few.

Very tempted by a Performance given the 0% PCP offer on at the moment. Had a ride in my mates 23 plate, he had a 20 plate LR dual motor before that and the new one feels much better built and I was really impressed with it. At £1500 down and £600 per month for 12k miles it's much cheaper than my works salary sacrifice scheme cost (which was £850 when I ran the quote yesterday!). Even taking into account that I'd have to pay for my own insurance and maintenance it still works out much cheaper on the Tesla finance.
I’m about to pull the trigger on SR PCP
£1 deposit, £454 a month, 0% interest. Intend paying the balance to own @ year 4.
Sell my old Skoda for 6k, get done interest on that.
I doubt i’ll be able to afford again as a private buyer. The Highland is bound to be marginally better, but I bet it won’t be reduced via the inventory or 0% for a few years..

The pcp figures have all gone up today! Looks like an adjustment downwards on the future value. Difference is c.£100 per month across the board :-(£1 deposit, £454 a month, 0% interest. Intend paying the balance to own @ year 4.

Ive been checking for the last couple of days seem the same my end? Only thing is the rwd long range models are double over the normal 4wd long range which is weird? AsyouWere said:

The Performance has gone up by £143 per month from the quote I did earlier this week, which sadly puts it in the "you must be joking" level of monthly payment for me.
I still had the old tab open so decided to give it a go..
Got a confirmed order, but nothing in writing about the payments.
Of course when I had paid the £200 and gone through to the finance bit the new figures were there.
Called Tesla this morning, the guy said that they have had a few calls and that there is something wrong with the website, and will ask Tesla Manchester to call me back.
I'll update when I hear back..

I ordered a Model 3 RWD a week or so ago. There’s a nice bit of additional discount on the ex-demo cars with a handful of miles. They don’t stick around for long though. There’s a Telegram group that alerts when new inventory is added - https://t.me/teslauknewinventory
It’s also worth speaking to a showroom as they have access to inventory before it reaches the public site. That’s how I found the car I ordered. It’s done 1000 miles, and will have 6 months less warranty, but was £6k cheaper and came with more options.
Likewise using a referral link from a friend for £500 off your order.
Working out what a ‘partial premium’ interior means in 2023 is very confusing. It looks like the ‘base’ cars now get the better stereo with subwoofers.
Check insurance prices in advance too, they’re a bit silly for Teslas at the moment.
