Hello everyone.
I am Michael from Durham.
New to Ev world.
Have ordered v2 58 e boost in red with tech pack L yesterday for delivery in Sept sometime, its on the boat now.
Have been considering hybrid / ev for a few months now, mind was made up soon as I test drove on Tuesday this week.
Went to pulman sunderland for test drive, made me a proposal, not overly impressed. Limited choice, nothing in supply chain.
Went to Bristol St Darlington, made me a significantly better proposal, impressed and reserved car. 3 to choose from for Sept delivery.
Need a charger and a energy supplier now.
Regards Michael

Hi mate, welcome. Sunderland are useless i had same issue. I live in wallsend and I actually ended up purchasing from Twickenham (long story). You may struggle for an energy supplier many have suspended their EV tariffs… but i may be wrong.
Home charger wise i bought a “project EV” charger and can’t fault it, scheduled charges works a treat and you have to use the app to activate (so not anyone can just hook up etc).

Sounds like a similar story to me, Sunderland were 'okay', for information, but didn't seem interested. They didn't have any cars available, I left them with the details of what I wanted in June, and I haven't heard from them since!
Went down to Bristol Street in Darlington and they were spot on. Good deal, excellent communication, and found me a car that I could have within a couple of weeks.

Also went to Sunderland Pulman, had test drives, nothing seemingly coming through the pipeline, so nabbed a V2 e-Boost from Twickenham (they were great).
Got the wife a stock grab V2 e-boost too, from SMC Woking and they were dire in dealing with a few post delivery issues noticed that should have been resolved at PDI.

I have an id3 on order but decided yesterday to order a Born V2, Glacier White, e boost, tech pack L. I ordered from Citygate Slough. They reckon I should get it on 7 Oct 22. I got £1k off list. Not sure how certain I can be if collection date as it is still a way off (5 weeks).

That is the exact spec of my Born (I still haven't tried the self parking yet) - you did well to get money off in the current climate, got mine from Citygate Twickenham.Cliffjp wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 8:17 pm I have an id3 on order but decided yesterday to order a Born V2, Glacier White, e boost, tech pack L.

I was lucky, traded a Nissan juke and think they wanted it, got a very good price at BS Darlington, £1,5k more than pulman......Happy dayz

The feedback of the parking sensors, front, back and sides has a birds eye view graphical representation, as well as the rear camera output. I rarely look at the display, I find the audible feedback fine on its own to be fine, and I could easily live without the camera itself and just rely upon the graphical representation.
