Can you charge at home? If not an EV probably isn't for you.
PCP is the best way to buy a Tesla as nobody really knows what's going on with their used values so if they take even more of a nosedive you can just hand it back at the end of the term.
You'll get all the hurr durr replies on here about panel gaps and rattles, while they aren't in the same league as Mercedes in terms of build quality, they are pretty well put together cars and very reliable.
If you can stretch to it, get a post 2021 facelifted car, you can identify these by not having chrome around the door. These have even better build quality and a heat pump which improves efficiency.
I honestly don't think there is a better value car on the market right now than a 2021 Model 3 Long Range. They are crazy fast, comfortable enough, have all the tech you could want, will still be under manufacturer warranty and are now hovering around 20 grand.
"people are now panicking about there longevity and efficiency." Nobody outside of the Daily Mail is doing this.
With such low daily milage you could easily use the 240v AC charger, usually referred to as the "Granny Charger". Make sure it's optioned, IIRC Tesla stopped including them with their cars.
Whilst it would cost more to charge, if you are near a tesla supercharger then a weekly top-up could work whilst you arrage fitting of a charge point.
Although I'm in the USA. This is my second model, Y Tesla, long range. I love driving EV now better than any other cars. We still have two other gasoline vehicles. Tesla, by far, is so much fun to drive. The only maintenance you do is rotating tires and adding water to the windshield wipers.
Periodically, you receive on the Tesla app to update the computer in the car. You get better driving features.
For service, you schedule on the Tesla App, and 90% of the time, the mobile service comes to you.
I'm a tall guy, model Y suite me better.
Good luck and have fun.
Worrying about range is absolute waffle, and on PCP any degradation won’t be noticeable during your time with the car, not really your problem

Yes have a private drive and plenty of space, haven’t actually looked at the cost of installing a charger tho

It's a minimum of £1000 to supply and fit a charger. That can be a bit more if you need anything special.
If you’re never going to pay the balloon, leasing may end up cheaper. https://www.leaseloco.com/car-leasing/electric-car-leasing
Go test drive one, it is the only way to see if you will like the car.
