Looks awesome, good luck On the wheels: I don’t think the pictures / renders do the 20s (and even the 19s) any justice. They look awesome in real life (I don’t get why people hate on the 19s on this forum!) I’m getting the 20s on an ST Turbo for range and given the state of some of our country...

All very reasonable points!

It’s a few hundred quid more for the 22kw version of the chargers from memory, but when we are spending that on minor cosmetic changes and the cars are £100k+ it isn’t something even thought about. For me - a 3x (22kw charger + upgrade) or 2x (22kw charger no upgrade) faster charging capability...

I think for most use cases overnight is absolutely fine and I agree the 22kw is not a must have. I do think it is valuable/ a luxury though and if you have the option why wouldn’t you have 3x faster home charging? (I actually had a 7kw PodPoint installed originally then also a 22kw Andersen.)...

The 19” wheels and the better proportioned tirewall actually suit the Cherry/black colour combo really nicely! Amazing two car garage. Is this your 993 Turbo? What a machine.

I have three phase at home and have ticked it. Going forward I probably wouldn’t even consider buying a car that charges at only a third of that speed at home. Not sure how many of us there are in that category in the UK though.

I think that’s wrong - as I understand it the BIK is on the full price of the car - not the lease - so 50% BIK would be a £30k+ tax bill in your example on a £100k car (plus employer’s and employee’s national insurance) taking it to way higher than the lease cost (which shouldn’t be any where...

Wow. Do these guys come from the 1970s?! I had reserved a Lucid (UK) as a potential option but cancelled it because it’s so not cool, and because In had gone a bit overboard in lining up some future potential options. In addition to my Taycan Turbo, counting EVs alone, I actually still have a...

Are you sure that’s how BIK works? I’m not an expert but I understand it’s as follows. If the BIK rate is 2% on a 100k vehicle, I think the idea is that you are deemed to have received 2k in salary. If it’s 37% (the highest rate at the moment), you’re deemed to have received 37k. Then you have...

I am not so sure. You might be right today given supply chain issues and lead times, but you’re making a big bet that you’re right in 12, 24, 36 months’ time. Recession is coming and consumer durables will be hit first. People don’t replace their cars in recessions. As we all know, in a normal...

I agree with the not spending all your cash on a car. But I think lease via salary sacrifice makes more sense than you guys are suggesting to the OP above. If you do not have your own company with sufficient profits, or at the other end of the spectrum have a sophisticated and complex business...

Same story here - I had been told in mid April production started but just got bumped from May to June delivery when they checked on the system.

Re this being a model year update - seems like it to me - after being prompted to move spec to “new model year” I’m being told public charging cable, sport chrono and park assist with reverse camera no longer available. I don’t know if now just included or gone, haven’t checked. Also base price...

What do you think the factory cut off is for MY22 vs MY23 cars? My car is currently in production. Doesn’t look like any “improvements” anyhow?! I did once order a Range Rover that got the substantial model year improvements (full facelift) with no price increase due to the change happening...

Congrats!!! Love the black and silver. I have ordered 22kw on mine as well, in spite of some of the issues noted here (hopefully resolved in cars being built now!) I have had both 7kw (Podpoint) and 22kw (Anderson) chargers installed at home (we have three phase even though UK) and I find it...

Thanks Rob - have you run a variation with paying yourself a salary for salary sacrifice?

I think the main point your analysis misses is that leasing is actually half the cost you have here because you could (and many do) choose to pay themselves a higher salary It’s also not a “corporation tax saving” surely, it’s a deferral?

Slightly different perspective here. I had a Taycan ST GTS order estimated for the summer but managed to get a Taycan Turbo ST which gets to the dealer in May. For me, the speed and other improvements over the GTS (which in the Taycan is really just a 4S wearing a pretty skirt) made this a no...

are those aftermarket wheels?

Awesome - beautiful car!
