Anyone had an option retrofitted after delivery?

I'm thinking I'd quite like the electric tailgate fitted on my almost one month old Premium spec.
Got a query out with the dealer but wondered if anyone has done anything similar.

Have you had an electric tailgate in the past ? If not, unless you have a physical problem that makes it difficult to open and close a manual tailgate, I wouldn't bother.
They're slow to raise and lower compared to a manual, won't be cheap to fit (if it's possible) and they can and do go wrong. Save your money !

I have seen third party kits but having watched the installation video on youtube I gave up the idea. The tailgate is heavy and difficult to move the first few inches before the gas struts take over. A decent handle would help!
