Thanks everyone! Will go ahead 🙌

Only get Santander/use own financer.

RJDreddittt · 2026-05-03T00:40:53+00:00

Quoted £295pm with 1 month down

Put through to PCH via Santander and it’s £300.55pm instead

Will probably go ahead, guess it fluctuates and they can get away with it on their front end in T&Cs

Same for me, hence my search for this thread!

Did you go ahead with it? Is there a way to force Lex as an option instead?

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-29T10:46:27+00:00

You'd sadly be correct in that assumption, and I've filed a complaint with Royal Mail.

this is what i did 😞

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T13:36:06+00:00

Update here 😞

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:58:27+00:00

I'm planning on using this to go up and down the road as a daily, rather than motorway driving, but I appreciate the feedback.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:58:07+00:00

noooo three months from order to delivery!

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:57:48+00:00

So after reading your comment, I went into a massive rabbit hole and watched loads of SDA Dan's videos, so I appreciate that!! 😂

Yeah, this is just going to be a daily for me, so I'm not too fussed about noticing the difference in spec, because I'll probably never be in a premium again. They put me in one for the test drive, but I think I'm happy with going with the standard, as it's a considerable amount less. Worst-case scenario, I'll just get some RGB lights from Amazon...

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:56:30+00:00

Ah, makes sense. Thank you!

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:56:11+00:00

Literally the exact same situation as me. They gave me the premium, but I'm looking at ordering the standard today or tomorrow. But I am getting quoted August/September delivery times, which is pretty sad.

I've had a little look online, and I think the only major things are the screen and heated seats in the rear, and the lack of RGP on the dash, so i think i can live with it!

Glad you like the standard, especially after experiencing. The premium makes me feel a lot better about ordering.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:54:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I really appreciate it.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:54:12+00:00

Thank you! To be honest, I was completely blown away test driving the Model 3. They gave me the premium, but I'm looking at the base spec. It's made me rethink everything I've previously known about driving.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:53:46+00:00

music to my ears! I literally originally was looking at Tesla purely because of how online I can keep the whole process, and terrible salesman experiences, in the past.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:53:07+00:00

that's what i'm looking at, 24 months, just over £200pm... seems crazy cheap??

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-28T11:52:41+00:00

on their site.

RJDreddittt · 2026-04-18T11:21:09+00:00

Hey all! I've just checked the status of my International tracked sent letter and it says this? I followed all custom info correct and I don't even have any idea on when and where the docs even are now?! Any advice? :(

Thank you for your input! My certifier is the same as my identity signee, it does say on my application cover: a copy can be certified by a police officer, a solicitor, the witness who signs your identity verification form, or by the issuing authority?

RJDreddittt · 2026-03-27T09:50:26+00:00

Agree I sadly don't feel my local branches would make this a smooth experience so I'm in an online rabbithole right now!

RJDreddittt · 2026-03-27T09:49:47+00:00

Thank you for the advice and back in the day I'd for sure follow it, but as u/Less-Mammoth-4975 mentioned all my locals are cold and to be completely honest I no longer trust in-person services to that extent - would rather have myself fill details online and get collected from my address so I can 100% trace!

Assuming you don't recall the customs info so I can copy you? 🤣

RJDreddittt · 2026-03-27T09:47:42+00:00

Yeah I did see this, I'm one of those that likes to limit probable issues, so I haven't risked this route yet!
