Friends of mine in Switzerland say Model Y reservations in Europe are well down on expectations as people are wanting to wait for the Berlin factory and the newer battery. If demand is down and knowing RHD are in production, it could be that the Model Y comes to the UK fairly soon. I've seen someone comment on Facebook they were told in Q4 this year.
The truth however is anybodies guess and it's entirely possible Tesla haven't even made a decision yet. They've not opened the order page for the Model Y yet but I'm sure if they did they'd get a load of Q3 cancellations for the Model 3, so if I was a betting man, we'll hear nothing until the end of Sept and they kno whow Europe sales are going and then the order book will open for the UK but only if they can deliver before the end of the year.
Depreciation wise, again you're in the lap of unknowns. There is talk of bigger batteries, there are a LOT of company cars which will be flooding the market in a few years when they go back, there will be a lot more competition, the supercharging network may be open to other makes, etc.
But I've also been thinking this type of thing for years and it doesn't really seem to have happened yet.
