Tan excited for you, imagine how good it will be when we finally get a few on the roads in the ukExcellent , thanks !
I will drop you a line once I have been into Leeds next week !
Interesting question!! Going to start a new threadIs anyone having their car Xpel PPF wrapped or similar?
Cannot understand why no tow pack on new MS as the chassis for the X is the same. Anyways - good new is that Model X RHD production to begin Sept 1 at Fremont. Maybe a few deliveries pre Christmas ?
ps Chatter about full foldable rear seats before the end of the year keep bubbling to the surface.....
I have a model 3 on order but realistically that's looking at the very least to be 2.years away so I am going to take the plunge on an X
more super chargers available in the UK but hopefully this will improve soon
Im actually amazed how many people haven't even heard of the brand!
@cheeky I ordered mine from weybridge tesla really good service. My sole consession was initial order of a MXD 60D which I will upgrade later to 75D. I would have loved to buy the 90D but I didn't want to compromise on the spec. For my day to day use back and forward from Southampton to London with 3 super chargers on route range won't be an issues for me. I still get every extra just not the range and top speed I can live with that. I chose the blue but it was a close call between that and silver. For me the interior was allways black leather, I felt white was impractical and might encourage too much unwanted attention
Interesting that as a stopgap for a Model 3, you are ordering MX rather than MS - good deals on the MS 60 right now
FWIW it seems to me that the rollout, in UK, over the last 12 months has been slower than I was expected. UK Planning Permission maybe? ... or maybe not as much funding in that "pocket" as promised?
You'll get plenty of that ... went to tire shop recently for a nail-repair-with-plug ... guy there in a big Jag with an aftermarket supercharger (but otherwise a wolf in sheep's clothing) ... "Is that a Telsar?" "Yes - its a Tesla" ... various other questions asked, but I couldn't seem to get him to drop the "Telsar" name "Why don't they fit an alternator so you can charge it as you go along". Me: "Unfortunately you can only have the energy once" - I figure that a simple explanation might be my best shot, although Tire fitter thinks differently: "That would be perpetual motion" Jag driver: "I still don't get why they don't fit an alternator" (I think there may have been a question about solar panels too - the PV on my roof generates an average of 10KWh a day, I'd need a really REALLY big car for the roof space!!). He also wasn't happy about the 0-60 comparison with his souped-up Jag
I suspect then perhaps the Model 3 can be our second Tesla
accountant has always advised to keep away from putting cars through the business but Tesla has now changed this outlook completely
If given a choice of a brand new M3 or a 3 year old Model S I guess most will prefer to go new.........It will be interesting to hear others thoughts on this?
when you tap fuel,monthly payments etc into a calculator
I have to say I originally ordered the Model 3 as a backup in case my model X dream wasn't approved by the Mrs. I just didn't want to order such a high value item unless the whole family was on board. I want us to enjoy the Tesla journey together. My real concern with the Model 3 is that like the Model S it meant a compromise as it doesn't do everything I wanted for work and pleasure. The tax changes in April 17 made it clear to me and the wife that if I was to push the boat out for the ideal car the model X then it was now or wait for the model 3 with no guarantees it will tick all boxes. Plus the UK right hand drive is always the last to get the goods, even though I ordered on day 1. I just don't want to wait till 2019 for a Tesla. However doesn't mean I don't love all three and I am now thinking if we fall in love with the X as I suspect then perhaps the Model 3 can be our second Tesla. Either way for 1k which is fully refundable like the 400k+ orderers what I could see on launch day was a beautiful car and I bet it will be amazing to drive. Once again I stare at the picture on my computer desktop and long for the day I hear my car is going into production
I think Model 3's will be all our other Teslas! I can see us moving both kids from Parent's Cast Off Golfs to Model 3s ...
My accountant was similarly ecstatic at the idea
I think a more likely audience is the second hand Jag driver - someone who likes to have a large / luxury / prestigious car. Those fuel-hungry cars are expensive to run, so perhaps only the 2nd-hand vehicle of choice for low mileage drivers. 2nd-hand Tesla will also benefit high mileage drivers, and the savvy may look at the reduced cost of maintenance (although the cost is of replacing, say, the main screen and other Tesla-specific parts is a big unknown)
My man maths says around £100 per month saved per 10,000 miles p.a., so at 40,000 miles p.a. stuffing £400 in the monthly payments changes the whole ballgame as to what sort of car is possible ...
That`s exactly my fag packet calc as well!I think Model 3's will be all our other Teslas! I can see us moving both kids from Parent's Cast Off Golfs to Model 3s ...
yes perfect for cash strapped teens, the only problem is they have to remember to charge the bloody thing....!!

Yeah it certainly makes a nice change .......no guilt factor either!!

That's really interesting I wasn't aware of some of that. What I really care about is that we definitely take delivery before end of March so we won't have to pay premium tax yearly on our MX. So I would consider anything that avoids that happening. The 3rd and 4th quarter ramp up on the X suggests that they should meet the deadline. The launch of the X in Australia which is right hand drive suggest once again it's looking good for production. So long as you avoid ordering 5 seat version i believe they will meet the schedule. I loved the model s but couldn't buy it as no tow pack, if Elon had listened to customers requests I would have had one some time ago. Only the X and 3 have tow packs. Hence my orders
