PICG (Plug In Car Grant) on regular cars has been defunct since the middle of June last year I'm afraid.There are no tax credits but there are grants of £2500 for vehicles that costs below £35,000 in UK.
I think probably it may cost around $32000 (after $7500 tax credit) in US for a Y - the extra £14000 - whether that can be saved by changing the charge port or fitting an adopter, and then the software side of things in relation to maps and the SIM if you can do that, yes it is worth the save. But if you are going to be around for few years - lease is a better option and there are good business deals and salary sacrifice programs (if your company allows - you can grab a deal for around £300 monthly - similar to US deals)
nope. the one you are used to is not used in Europe. we have standardised on CCS2 which you don't have in the US so there is not even an adaptor you can buyah. I thought its one universal charger type that tesla uses.

For all the reasons outlined, my strong advice is don't do it. Some time back another poster imported or purchased a USA sourced Tesla and found themselves in a very unfortunate position. If it were a classic or collectible car, without all the gadgetry involved in an EV (and Tesla specifically which can vary significantly in different countries) it could be worth bringing.I will be there min 3 years and maybe 5 years.
Not particularly in London but close to Huntingdon area, very close to Cambridge.
I don't think so. its not permanent move, and I will still be filing taxes in states even though I am not living in states.
The fact it’s called NACS (North American charging standard) should have made it fairly obvious it wasn’t a universal type used worldwideah. I thought its one universal charger type that tesla uses.

Anything over 6 months is classed as a permanent move for cars in UK and you would have to register it here so you would have to pay VAT and import duty, I would be surprised if US didn’t had some sort of clause in rebate for use in USA only sort of thing?I will be there min 3 years and maybe 5 years.

Welcome to Britain @shyboy and Cambridgeshire. A great place to live as @WannabeOwner mentioned if you are on the south of Cambridgeshire. I guess your US connection point more towards Alconbury which is more closer to Hunts and Peterborough than Cambridge.That's not going to work. For a Brit Huntingdon and Cambridge are nowhere near each other.
Americans think that 200 years is a long time ...
.... Brits think that 200 miles is a LONG WAY
Its 20 miles ... more importantly it's probably an hours drive
and you have SC at the Trumpington and St Neots
The point is employer will pay the shipping both ways. so I will never sell the car in UK. I will bring it back in USA after 3-5 years.Whatever you think you might gain/save in terms of the relative cost of your car versus a UK equivalent, you will more than lose when you try to sell your (US) car over here. You will have to almost give it away or sell it for scrap.
Bite the bullet - sell the US car and buy a replacement when you get here.
Im not trying to be pessimistic but have you considered any implications during your employment term such as termination, company going bust, etc, etc. ?The point is employer will pay the shipping both ways.
Don’t know whether a non tethered NACS cable from US would work for home AC charging if they can fit the other end to the charger - do they come us NACS to NACS or various combinations including type 2 to NACS.Yes the lack of type 2 would mean you couldn't charge it at home.
If there was, you'd need a step down transformer. I doubt US cars would be happy with 240v (assuming the 50hz wouldn't be an issue since it's converting to DC anyway).Don’t know whether a non tethered NACS cable from US would work for home AC charging if they can fit the other end to the charger - do they come us NACS to NACS or various combinations including type 2 to NACS.
