Must have been tempting! I'd love one but could never bring myself to put so much money in, especially with the upfront fees. I'd want the auto-drive as well but it's currently not really fit for purpose in the UK. How could you not get it though with it being a killer feature of the Tesla? I'd hope the software updates will improve the situation to make the roundabout handling reliable.
That was no deposit as well. I was very tempted but I've just had a second kid so we're looking at much more practical but much less fun cars. The Jaguar I-Pace for £350pm was much more tempting but the range means all the long journeys we do to visit family (that don't have chargers at their end) means stopping for half an hour at least on both legs which isn't always what you want to do with the kids.
Also, not 100% sold on all-electric yet. What do you do if you're stuck in a traffic jam for a few hours when you're on low battery? The range doesn't bother me too much, it's the fact that there aren't enough domestic chargers yet. It's perfect for my commute but we do enough long journeys that it's too big an issue.
