    I bet it's black with reflections of blue sky! BTW do they issue captchas as number plates in UK?

    Nice to hear from another UK owner, congratulations


    When I ordered mine I was told it would probably be the last RHD one ever, etc etc

    It was not a factor to me in buying it as I'd wanted one ever since the first Teslamotors Inc website appeared in 2005/6, but I do wonder how many times that sales line has been trotted out over the past year !!!!

    Yes, I bet a few will be sold after mine, but their inventory only showed 8 left when I reached deep into my pocket, and when I picked it up Gian said most of them had gone in a flurry inspired by the noise of the Tesla Model S. It's in Obsidian Black, by the way ...

    I've not spoken to him recently, but I'd sure like to see a Model S demonstrator, even if in LHD guise.

    Last time I talked to him he reckoned UK deliveries would start around Q3 2013.

    Obsidian black is a great colour - but mine is Obsidian Black so I would think that!

    I spoke with Gian a few days ago and there were 5 UK RHD cars left. Spoke to him today and there are just 2!

    I am so glad I got mine 2 years ago. Don't think I could stand the tension at this stage. Anyway congrats in your car.

    Do use the UK HPCs to be adventurous. I live in Edinburgh and have been to London, Birmingham, Goodwood, Salford, Aviemore, Durham - all using the UK HPCs. I am not sure if these are all listed on zero:net.
