Currently looking at etron GTs and noticed they have some incentives if you take their finance (free charger, free install, 2y warranty and 2y servicing).

I don’t need the finance but may aswell take it and clear once I’ve got the incentives. But I was wondering what the maximum deposit they allowed. Looking online I’ve got mixed answers, some saying you can borrow as little as £1.5k. Others saying there’s a minimum % of the invoice amount you must borrow.

I’m sure dealers will want me to borrow as much as possible, so unlikely to get a straight forward answer. Other option is to ask Audi FS directly, but unsure if they’ll address my qs until I’m a perspective customer.

Thanks

I’ve recently installed some sheer and shade vertical blinds in 3 windows and I’m not trying to find retrofit options to automate them.

Two of them are straight runs of 2.3m. The other is a more complicated box bay, 2.3m with 0.52m returns. This is currently split into two sections and the two smaller sections I set at ~45deg, to allow light into the room.

So far the options I can see are:

1. Tuya rail.

Advantages:

Will also open and close them. And hopefully once installed will be reliable.

Disadvantages:

I don’t think I’ll be able to control the box bay sections independently?

More involved retrofit, particularly if I go wired.

2. Sunsa Wand / e-wand

Advantages:

Easy retrofit
Can control each section independently

Disadvantages:

Unsure how reliable they will be. One of the primary uses will be for security when we’re away. I don’t want the blinds staying open when the lights come on.

They are expensive for what they are. Particularly the box bay.

We rarely open the blinds fully, so that’s not a major disadvantage for us.

Any advice on alternatives. And/or where to source either of the above for the best price? I’m in the UK.

Thanks
