Use finance, trade-in, novated-lease, and petrol-versus-electric calculators. Place Digital-first purchase with physical experience. Activate showrooms, pop-ups, workplaces, regional drive days, and technology parks. Promotion Combine performance media with advocacy.

Risk Controls

Risk Controls Price changes: Time-stamp pricing and sell value, not price alone. Inventory confusion: Separate the new RWD from discounted older stock by model year, equipment, and delivery timing. Delivery delays: Communicate estimated windows and provide proactive status updates. Assisted-driving claims: Use “Supervised” consistently and never imply autonomous operation. Range concerns: Pair WLTP figures with education on speed, weather, payload, and charging. Brand sentiment: Center communications on customers, engineering, ownership, and local communities. Immediate priority: Eliminate value confusion before scaling paid media.
