What type of charger is it?
These, one on Belfast Road.

They have smaller black ones that are compatible with Audi, but not these ones 🙈. WABS!

Always assumed they'd just be Type 2!
Plugs in but won't charge, must be a software rather than hardware issue. Plugged in and sat saying 'preparing for launch' for 10 mins. Went and asked in the garage, "we've not been given any training on that, ring the helpline". Helpline said it's a their manufacturing defect.

A decent deal or not, I just can't get my head round that amount of money a month on a car - all be it possibly no fuel, tax, maintenance, tyres, etc...
It's salary sacrifice hence pre tax so roughly only missing roughly half of that from what hits my bank account. 275 a month for a brand new car, insured with nil deposit? Doubt I'd get a Dacia for that to be honest.

My wife’s deal is £400 a month but that’s post deductions, still a very good deal in my eyes for what you get and all you have to do is charge it 2-3 times and nothing more than that in terms of outgoings.

Got a delivery confirmed for the GT @gpaevo ? What’s the lead time?

Neighbours were thinking about one and said I’d ask.

Searching for a bit of advice guys on the NHS Fleet.

My wife has ordered a new 330e due in July but we now find ourselves expecting our first little one.

The plan is next year when she returns to work she will go back part time at 30hrs a week. Now we know we can afford the car so that isn’t a worry but by reducing her hours is there a chance they will ask for the car to be returned before the lease ends?

I just asked my wife there as she is going to a 4 day week as well and the girl who works in the lease department said going to 30 hours a week won’t affect the lease and you don’t have to hand the car back. If it was a big reduction in hours then maybe but going to 4 days would be ok. Get her to ring them just to confirm anyway.

as said, gross minus sacrifice then tax cant take below Min wage, however... also means you cant partake in salary sacrifice childcare vouchers either

We get our etron today just 2 months later than it was supposed to be. Fleet solutions have obviously taken on more than they can manage as they basically no longer respond to emails and every call involves 30mins plus on hold. To be fair I didn't chase it as the ipace deal was so cheap I was happy to let it run.
Plus H&W allegedly oversprayed a tonne of Audi's inc my friends etron GT so a lot of the cars needed fixing inc my own which hasn't helped.
