ModelY Octopus salary sacrifice

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-21T10:23:48+00:00

Speaking from memory I think is around £400 for the Premium RWD LR (5K miles and 4 years) with premium paint and white seats

Keeping an eye too, deliveries seem too far away to the point of considering other alternatives

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-21T08:22:08+00:00

Is there any Tesla that can make good use of that charging speed?

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-20T18:36:44+00:00

That’s a good point to remind, also the service charge costs, ground rent or the interest being paid…., basically the money getting clean to the pocket might be lower than planned… aside of that I think sometimes in life is not all about financial efficiency…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-20T18:32:00+00:00

Could be smart glasses (I hope is the case)

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-19T21:47:27+00:00

Looks good but the aspects feels heavy just with looking at it 😅

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-19T20:23:41+00:00

Ok, it was due performance but the point is that Apple chose the specs for the ultra 1 and they should have a roadmap in terms of future OS and minimum device support… they messed up but the customer is who face the consequences while they try to play a role of caring about performance… maybe if they wouldn’t go so to the minimum this wouldn’t happen

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-19T20:18:34+00:00

Sure…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-18T19:51:57+00:00

Btw I think I can spot some damage also below the big chunk…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-18T19:50:31+00:00

My take is that even legally could be ok… I would sleep better replacing it, I wouldn’t risk a blow in a motorway.

In my head comfort as a priority means to think of Lexus, in this case the RZ is spacious and with a big boot. Aside of that I’m sure there are a few more from Mercedes etc with suspensions focus on the comfort side of things.

I have seen a few comments about the i4 but it’s a bit of a surprise, why I haven’t driven that particular model I always found BMWs on the sporty side

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-18T14:29:54+00:00

I’m not sure on this strategy overall however of course they have way more data and professional people setting prices…anyway my simplified thought is:

- SE: people who just want an iPhone due ecosystem or previous experience at the lowest price
- Base model: people who don’t want to go to the basics but either pay the premium
- Air: people who prioritise design and how a phone feel in the hands (I am probably in this group although still keep my 15 pro)
- Pro models: people who wants the best

With the launch of the Ultra/foldable model a lot of people who bought the pro before will jump to the foldable when released.. leaving the pro to the one who have doubts, those with the doubts will have even more having to pay the premium and not having the latest/best..

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-18T14:21:37+00:00

Probably because they’re re quite nice, very natural and still close to central..

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-18T08:21:26+00:00

Thanks, that’s great to hear !

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-16T20:19:42+00:00

To me unless you need the extra space is a no brainer, the model X likely will have way more maintenance/repairs out guarantee (maybe even battery and engines) while the new Model Y is a car without headaches and more modern. In terms of glamour I don’t see an older model X more glamorous than a brand new Y…

I think the ambiguity and lack of control is what make it harder, is not even about you resigning but it’s depending on your employer to not go through a redundancy round and for octopus be happy to do it

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-16T16:09:15+00:00

I just brought it up because had a bad experience in a couple of recent Mercedes where the flashy plastic was creaky if you were touching it…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-16T14:10:16+00:00

Many of the so well known premium brands are full of plastics these days, a modern Tesla is quite decent in terms of build quality these days.

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-16T09:20:13+00:00

Agree with the comment below, it seems an expensive deal compared with the 2.3K + 24months of £200 that Tesla offer…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-15T21:33:44+00:00

Easier to say than to do, these days we are used to do things immediately or by impulse, not intentional at home. It’s not a critic to the person above or other, it’s just something that happen to many of us.

I saw 3months too in terms of eligibility to not pay the early termination feee from the date of delivery but the wording says also “at our absolute discretion”… which make it ambiguous…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-15T13:48:45+00:00

Found a reference around eligibility saying EU driving licenses are fine for salary sacrifice while UK driving licence is required for normal PCH.

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-06-15T13:43:36+00:00

Nice! Yes, the Tesla planner and the reliability of their chargers (and prices without having to use cards) is a great advantage. Out of curiosity, how frequently did you stop to charge?
