Main thing stopping us making the leap is the purchase price - I've never leased a car and don't particularly want to start now (having moved house 5 years ago we've just seen a big hit on our mortgage outgoings as it is), along with the stratospheric price of utilities......BIK etc doesn't benefit us as owner drivers[/QUOTE]
I never leased car as well, not event bought it on the loan before, most of my cars before Tesla have been cash under £3k. Leasing seem nuts to me, why pay 10%+ interest when you could just have a loan from bank for 3% and then use it to by a car.
Anyway I did take a loan to pay for part of Tesla. So say if you are saving £200-500 in fuel per month driving Tesla you might as well take a little loan to pay for part of it that costs similar per month to what you save in fuel. And if you are paying 3% interest while the inflation is 10%+ it's like you are being paid for borrowing
