New car on the way :D
Another just text post from me no original photo's.
In my work as an IT consultant I have, in my opinion, the advantage of a lease car. In addition to the amount to be paid to the tax authorities, this car does not cost me anything furthermore, even if suddenly something is wrong with it. Since June this year I switched to a new employer and I could not take my old car with me, which is a shame because I was crazy about my Volkswagen Golf. After my trial period it was time and if I could pick out a new car, I always feel a bit like a kid in a candy store at moments like this. Unfortunately, fully electric is not an option, not included in our lease range.
After looking around and making a few test drives my choice fell on a Ford Focus Active with almost all options on it. From the moment I saw the active for the first time it was clear for me, a little higher on the wheels standing Focus. This Ford was ordered, but unfortunately no delivery this year. We wait quietly and then start driving around in this great Ford from the beginning of next year.
Then I suddenly received a newsletter from my employer in the e-mail containing the comment that from now on fully electric driving will also be possible. I will not put my first thought here, they were not the nicest words. But then immediately I sent an email to our fleet manager whether the Ford could still be canceled and whether I could already receive three price offers for a Tesla model 3. Not much later I was told that she had submitted the request to the relevant leasing company and that she had a good feeling since she had not yet received a production date. Shortly after that the mail with the prices for the model 3 that were very favorable, now just wait and see ...
The next day I received the redeeming call, the Ford could be cancelled if they could even deliver the Tesla. I understand this very well because otherwise they would lose income. All in all, the lease amount became 4 euros more expensive than the first quotation, so it was still very favorable, partly due to the tax benefit still applicable this year in the Netherlands. So I got the agreement at the end of the afternoon and signed and returned the order form in the evening. Now it was waiting again.
The next day I received the phone call around noon, the Tesla has been ordered and this is still in time for Tesla's guarantee that the car will be delivered this year. I still have to see this, of course I hope so because this year the tax benefit is just a little bigger but even if I only get it next year I will pay less per month net and I would have to pay for the Ford.
The configuration that I am going to get:
Tesla model 3 dual motor long range
black paint
18 "Aero rims (standard)
The standard AP (free)
When the car is in, I will make a post about it, hoping that the post can be made this year.
Have an amazing day!

The Tesla Model looks good. It’s great you get a car as part of your work.
Indeed @redheadpei it's great to get a company car and that it's becoming the Tesla is a huge plus as we both like the car very much.
not TL:DR definitely, and the pics will follow, that s for sure. great this 'purchase' will not ruin any lens-arsenal-upgrade plans :P
blessings!
Indeed thanks to this car switch I will be able to buy an extra lens a bit sooner indeed as I am thinking on setting aside the money we save on this car. Hopefully my girlfriend sees it also like this :D
