Hi,
Having dallied for ages now and nearly buying a Roadster last year (just too expensive for UK models) and waiting for UK Model S pricing I am still not sure. I have a charger already installed and waiting (it was £75.00 for the 32 amp version via a grant).
Super charger enabled I can wait for.
Tech pack not too bothered. Maps is easy to do via Bluetooth.
60 kWh vs 85kWh is 70 miles range but I am not sure that is worth the extra £7400.00
The only items I consider are :
High Fidelity Sound (personal choice I love my music)
Dual Charger
Sub zero weather package
So a basic Model S with Government Grant at £5000 of gives a price of £49.900 plus delivery fees, which I would be happy with, I wonder what else most UK order holders will go for as it gets really expensive adding the extras.
Also how many orders are there. On another UK thread we hear 200 orders, I imagine 25% will drop out, leaving 175 actual cars on a deposit.
Just be good to get other possible UK order holders thoughts and ideas on all the options, plus the business benefits. 100% writing down for 1st year ownership (meaning for me leaving the purchase until next April 2014) would give a real world 15-20% extra off the asking price, plus my part exchange would probably bring the actual out of pocket cost on the basic model.
What are the rest of potential UK purchasers thinking right now.
