I am on the fence. As someone who has put down a reservation on the X, and about to order one, I saw it in the flesh and found that the FWDs are overly careful. In several cases, they didn't fully open when you were standing close (even with sufficient clearance). I also find it hard to imagine...

Two interesting things: Numbers don't add up perfectly. I've added everything in Excel. Tiny differences somehow, possibly due to rounding of VAT? Selecting premium package automatically chooses leather seats for you. This makes sense but it's not explained anywhere. And when you deselect the...

P90D with Ludicrous costs £26,100 (32%!) more than 90D :confused:

Same here! I've just loaded all the pricing into the forum here: Model X Configuration Options and Pricing (UK) - What would you choose? P90D with Ludicrous adds 32% (one third!) to the cost of the 90D. That is ludicrous pricing IMHO.

FYI, Configuration Options for Model X in the UK. Spoiler alert: can get quite pricey! Ignoring incentives, petrol savings, etc for a moment. Does not include £4,500 for government's electric vehicle grant. Prices include VAT. Doesn't include £380 delivery fee. Model Purchase price / 36...

I just got the email to configure the X. Yay! That'll be a weekend full of planning. I'll post an update. Is it confirmed for viewing at (or anywhere other than) the goodwood festival of speed?

Did you end up going? What was your impression? Tesla said that the X will be around for test driving this summer. Has anyone else seen it yet in the UK?

Thanks @xborg !

hi guys, does anyone have an X on order and any info where it'll be in trade shows, tesla centres, etc? cheers!

If you run down the battery, wouldn't you be able to drive at all then? :)

This is actually one of the reasons why I was put off by the T8. Think it's a brilliant car (technology wise, it even has some advantages over the X!) but going from 4WD to 2x2WD is just a no (if the electricity motor is empty you'll be stuck with 2WD). Plus the range is highly questionable...

That's stellar information! I hadn't realised both (although living in London £10 per year is totally fine). CC do tend to make things so complicated on purpose, it's almost as if they're hoping you'll forget to register and then catch you out. Questionable practices in my view. If it was a TV...

It's very reassuring, thanks. Great replies! At what stage do you get a "charge warning" from your Tesla? Around 50 km (or miles)? Less? There are some roads without any gas stations, so I suspect there will be far fewer superchargers, so would you navigate to the nearest hotel or car park to...

Thanks @timf and @Lyon for the information! :smile:

Keen to see it and get a feel for whether this is going to be the next car... Put a deposit down on the X already, but must see it before I commit to ordering :frown:
