Hi All,

As suggested by a member in the Puma Gen E lease deal forum, I am starting a forum for us owners.
I have a Blue Gen E premium which I collected on the 26th. On exactly 500 miles now.

My Average has been 4.4-4.7 miles per kwh.


The car was given to me with 44psi in all tyres, which is more than manufacturers recommendation.

Just changed it to 39 in the front and 42-43 in the rear. Will see if it makes any difference to the ride as it was feeling a bit bouncy. This is manufacturers recommendation with 4 people. With 2 people, it is 33 all round, which I think is too low. If it is still too bouncy at this current pressure, I will change it to 36psi all round. Will be more like 40, 43 when tyres are warm. Going to try it out for a week.

Let me know if i am doing anything wrong.

Did you take the charger option with your deal?
If so what was process, did you need to give Octopus a code or chassis number?

Yes, I got the ohme home pro installed. The dealer sends you a link, you choose the charger you want. No chassis number needed. They just need to approve an installation questionnaire that they send to you to complete.

Hi,
At what point did you get the dealer link sent through?
How many weeks before delivery?

Thanks

Our charger gets fitted on the 15th. Took delivery of the car well before then. Should have held on as it's been a nightmare charging in public places.

We are both very lucky to have a car it seems by the look of it.
I collected on 26th and charger was installed on the 2nd as we were lucky to get a cancellation.
Do you not have a 3pin charger?
How many miles have you done?

I've just noticed that your account is older than me, which is so cool.

No we never got a 3 pin charger. Yes we are lucky having the cars. I got mine in 2 week from ordering. Just lucky I suppose. Crap for all the others that have placed the order and may miss out.

It really is mad that it is costing 149.00 per month with free 10.000 miles running with free servicing and free charger.

OOOh that sounds exciting!

You can all post pics of the same car in different colours and talk about range etc. Living the dream!
Take the piss all you want but for 149.00 a month and free running it is a no brainer.

Dealers don’t supply you with it.

Just had it confirmed, those who had or have charger scheduled for fitting will be the residual stock cars or physical units.
The factory order cars due to demand will need a VIN number before you can contact Octopus for the fitting.
If anyone with a factory order Dec25/Jan26 knows different please reply.

This is my understanding too. Expected delivery date for mine is January 26. The dealership have confirmed that they can only progress the charger installation request when the VIN number is issued, which will be around 4-5 weeks prior to collection.
