We bought a red Trophy Connect with sunroof and 8 miles on the clock - registered on 5th Feb 2024 purchased on 19th Feb 2024. It must have been sitting round for a good while - it was a company lease that fell through - well that's what the dealer told us!The sky roof was deleted on Trophymodels spec cars, that were a factory order placed after June / July of 2023 is my understanding.
However, some cars offered that was still held in group stock, may have slipped the net.
Only today ( 05/03/2024 ) I paid a visit to my local dealer and too my complete surprise, they had a silver standard range ZS EV Trophy In the showroom, sporting the full sky / pano roof !.
Car has obviously been sitting in group stock for a while then !.
We are on our second ZS - and all I can suggest you do is ENJOY !Hi all! I’m a new ZS owner to be (car is currently in port so about 2 weeks from handover) which is fortunate as I only ordered last week via tusker!
Is there anything I need to look out for with the car? I’ve gone for the trophy short range (I live in Brecon so a small mountain town so LR wasn’t really needed as most drives are around 10 mile)
I’m currently driving a crappy old 2015 diesel peugot 208 so expecting a fairly decent step up considering my current electric windows don’t even work.
Any hints, tips etc as a first time electric owner too? (Already have a fitting booked for a pod point 7kw charger)
Hi there thank you
that’s correct fortunately octopus offered me the ohme charger at £600 fitting (cheaper than else where) so opted for that Hi there that’s correct I lease it via my work for 4 years (insurance, servicing, tires, MOT included for £330 a month) then after 4 years I can either opt to change to a new car, purchase the car off them or keep the car on a monthly rolling basis at a reduced rate
Having now owned a ZS EV for nearly a year and covered just over 10,000 miles, I still get a smile on my face with the instant power when accelerating. Remember range is an estimate and not a given. The infotainment system has some small quirks but the big smile you will have on your face when driving will more than make up for it. Have fun and enjoy the new EV car feeling. Happy motoring!Hi all! I’m a new ZS owner to be (car is currently in port so about 2 weeks from handover) which is fortunate as I only ordered last week via tusker!

I’d have to double check but I believe 10k and 4 years, it was for my partner to be insured also though but shes a new driver so I’d expect it to be a bit more
Enjoy your new motor, they look particularly good in White with a Pan Roof. Which was a nice bonus.
I am paying £376 for 20k per year over 4 years. That was from Nov 2022 and is not salary sacrifice. Seems the lease companies are fleecing the employer if the net rates you pay are close to what external lease costs are.
It doesn’t have anything to do with the employer.
my HR team made an error, for some reason my profile said I already had a car via tusker (I don’t) so they cancelled the car, the car I was due to have, was re assigned, and now I’m having to wait a few months again, I may now ask to push it back to September as there are rumours of a shape change for the September models this year, but extremely frustrated doesn’t cut it. It’s been a stressful week
Thats awful!I was about to ask how was your experience with them so far but see you haven't got it yet?Hi there thank you

Has this through today! Exciting times! View attachment 24647
I’m with Tusker and it’s been okay so far, worth adding it also includes the cost of fitting a charging point! Mine is being fitted next week.
Didn't know that, wow, any idea how much extra they charged for that (as part of the quote, presumably)?
