UK Tesla 3 sales have started

Today sees the start of order taking for UK Tesla3 with delivery in June. 0-62 in > 4.5secs for the lowest spec car will scare a few sports car owners even if the build are quality and reliability are on a par with JLR........ prices seem to be quite sensible too. Looks like you can only buy them online too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Am tempted to get one, though the extra range version. £10k down & about £450 a month with a high future guaranteed value. I spend £225 a month on diesel & another £25 on VED, so net cost to me is about £200 (+electric). Its 4WD/AWD for the Welsh hills and the range should see me get from London to there in one hit. If not, there are a couple of super chargers on the M4 I can top up with.

Where I live in London is going to get clobbered by the extended ULEZ in Oct 21 & my borough is talking of £300 a year hit on parking permits for non-ulez compliant cars from next year too, so going to have to get rid of my diesel Volvo sooner rather than later it would seem, so why not go the whole hog

I priced one up to my spec, I couldn’t help but select the shorter range car. It was if some other factor had an influence over that decision. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Well, as per another forum member, maybe I’d buy the car, realise it’s unreliable, winge about it depreciating quickly, only then join a model specific forum to voice my disdain, tell everyone that I’ve bought a Skoda but I’ll stay on the Tesla forum just to make sure that everyone knows that I’m a ........... 2012 5.0 SC AB

Main dealers? You even buy the T3 online, no showrooms even. My nearest Tesla service centre is 60 miles away in Edinburgh and if they cannot fit the car in the next nearest is in Manchester I think......... but I have to say that in this area there are a lot of Tesla X’s - mostly being driven by folks that I know who used to drive a Full Fat Range Rover or a Disco4...... Lack of a dealership network doesn’t seem to have held back sales of Tesla’s up here. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Just had a look online. easy to order, hardly any options to ponder, just colour, wheels, only two interiors, slow, medium or fast,
self drive or not, couple of clicks on your mouse with debit card in hand & it will at your door in July. Forgot the tow hitch option.
When it goes wrong, is it a call centre in India where they read from a prepared script & if your problem aint on their script your Censored
As Tim says for us its a drive to Edinburgh or Manchester assuming its not a battery problem Big Cry
Just noticed two prices, one for buying the car, in my case, £57050 & one for a price with estimated savings £47550. Could not figure it out but the lower price is an estimate of what you are saving in fuel over 5 years, so its the first figure your paying. 10/10 for the marketing guy who thought that one up Thumbs Up

I noticed that 2nd figure when I tried speccing one up about a month ago. The other thing was I couldn’t (at that time) find if the 3 is also getting the free use of Tesla Superchargers, originally they weren’t going to be able to use then for free. It’s not a huge problem up here as Chargepoint Scotland will let you have unlimited charging on their system all over Scotland for the grand sum of £20pa which is basically the charge to have their RFID card that starts the current flow from their public chargers, although their latest chargers no longer need you to swipe the card on a screen, just drive up, plug in and charge away! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
