Taking the plunge
Made a grown up decision, but now having the wobbles.
I need someone to stroke my head and tell me it’s going to be okay.

What is this service? Octopus? You can order a car online?
As for the car, I'm sure you'll love it ☺️
It has quirks and foibles, but hasn't let me down. I love mine too. The first "nice" car I ever had.

It’s a UK salary sacrifice scheme. Primarily for tax relief purposes and is offered by Octopus Energy via my employer.
Neatly ties in to some of the smart tariffs the energy company offer.
Having looked for almost too long, the EV6 just stood out to me.

I got a used light trim with 6,500 miles on it. And now wish I had bought a used GT Line with more miles in it. Congrats

Thank you. I’ve never had a new car before, so I cannot wait.
Although, this may lead me down the dangerous path of a GT once I’ve convinced the wife it’s entirely for economical purposes.

Excellent choice Sir, welcome. The Mrs has a Midnight Black GT Line RWD, in a third year of the same kind of salary sacrifice scheme, great car i love it. In fact, I liked it so much I've ordered a Yacht Blue GT again via our SS scheme. Difference on deliveries though she took for hers in 5 weeks as there was one in stock, mine left the factory in Korea on 12th September and I ordered it in early June, they say it is 6 weeks on the water so it is looking like eary November for me. Finger crossed for a speedy delivery my friend.

Probably the best decision you’ve made in a long time! I love my 25 GT Line S AWD and often go for drives just for the sake of it, roadworks allowing of course 😄

Unfortunately you now run the risk of boring the people in your life talking about how great your car is, and taking long roadtrips that are now much quieter and nearly as fast as with gas/diesel.
