LR AWD... it's back? (and cheaper?)

[pmg102]

Can't sleep. Jet Lag.

Trying to work out whether to wait for delivery of the LR AWD i've already ordered (1st May order, Cash, no VIN) - or move to a P- using LeasePlan - which is looking more tempting since the announcement about BIK for the next 3 years.

And the Tesla UK store page has the LR AWD model back - with a new price, and the P- model has gone... and it also looks like the SR+ is cheaper.

SR+ £36,490 (was this £38,000?)
LR AWD £45,490 (down from £47,050)
Performance £49,140

So even with the FSD price increase - the model I've ordered is £660 cheaper.

Looks like they've taken the decison about P- out of my hands. Have I missed something?

They priced the SR+ so that it is no longer subject to luxury tax. Should be a decent demand driver.

Nope. It was inevitable that the LR AWD was re-introduced. Removing it was only to manage demand with supply.

They’ve not finished updating the page yet, as PCP residual value for the new Long Range = £0

 

[MrBadger]

So what does that do to the price for those of us still waiting on AWD?

I know when Performance + PUP was reduced in price, people got a refund of the difference. Not sure if it was automatic, or you had to ask. Possibly some benefit for those of us waiting, if this happens.

Rumour has it, that LR AWD in States may get a paid for performance software update some point in future. So P- may still be on the cards for those that don't want 20" wheels. Conundrum for those with P- on order though. New pricing is effectively a free upgrade to PUP. I guess us LR AWD holders were in same boat when P- came along, upgrade to P- or stick.

Another change appears to be Pearl White is the no cost colour choice instead of black. Now I need to contact Tesla as my car has just got almost £3000 cheaper.

Looking at those new costs it may suddenly appeal to a lot more people!

SR+ - No VED tax now
Performance price now includes the Performance trims (Wheels etc) and not an addition. All for less than £50k after savings!
LR RWD Back (Although no wheel option given)

And Pearl White is free! Black is £750 extra

PCP prices look kind of normal again? i was looking at PCP - went with Lease as it did work out better, now PCP is better by £20 a month!

 

[MrBadger]

Whats changed in spec for LR AWD since originally an option?

Homelink has gone. Anything else changed? iirc something about a charge cable?

 

[Bigfinger]

hmmmmm....

think i should be contacting them as my P- now looks like it can be a P+ at no extra charge?

 

[interbear]

OK so as someone who wanted the LR AWD in the first place but ended up ordering a P- as it disappeared, I now have a dilemma.

Option 1 - stick to my P. Cost £48,590. This is now only £550 cheaper than the new price of the P+ at £49,140 which puts paid to the argument that the P- would have great residual value vs other models. But I’m not interested in the 20 inch wheels and reduced range / comfort that this change would entail.

Option 2 - change order to the newly priced LR AWD at £45,490 which would save me £3,100. I am interested in the slightly better range at 348 miles vs 329 and I am interested in the £3,100 saving vs getting to 60mph in 4.4 seconds vs 3.2. Also lower insurance sorts. And I may add a tow hitch for my bike rack.

In all cases I’d add £1,900 to the price for red paint so that’s neutral across the options.

I haven’t been allocated a VIN yet so assume I can contact Tesla and change this, with the possible risk factor of a longer wait? What’s the best method to do so - phone, email?

 

[TestPilot]

Damn! I'm gonna have to think about this! Do I reconfigure to get white (easier to keep clean) and get the tax saving or do I reconfigure for the LR which is the car I wanted in the first place! Nrrrrrrrrrrr

Phone them, but be prepared for a long wait as there will be a lot of people doing the same!

 

[djgillett]

Astonishing given the lack of deliveries and complete lack of delivery dates for the Triumph Ace.

Who at this point, with an outstanding order, isn't going to ask for the cheaper price?!

 

[meavydev]

So do we have to contact Tesla to get what is a £660 decrease in the price of my LR AWD with FSD before the increase?

 

[davidmc]

If anyone has ordered the SR+ in all black thinking of changing to White or upgrading.......Please do so i can get mine quicker!!

*Selfish mode off*

Did the guys at Tesla go out on a Pis$ up at a brewery at the weekend, i would be surprised if they did?

PCP appears to be missing entirely when I go to the financing page https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/blackhorse-financing?redirect=no

 

[fakoriginal]

Running the numbers on my current spec and it would be £90 more with the new pricing, but that's due to black paint now being £750 instead of free and the £900 uplift in FSD pricing. Only way to get a lower price would be to change spec (and lose place in queue).

Before the government grant the base price of the LR AWD was £50,550 now down to £48,990 (-£1,560). Plus £750 for black paint, plus £900 FSD price hike

Ok, so it's still in Luxury car tax because delivery. So I'm either going to hold onto SR+ Black or change to LR and get the premium interior. It's a lot more £££ still though.

Any idea on the best number to call them on, can’t find a number in my account page? Thanks.

 

[Pugg5ter]

I’m going to max out - it’s what I did on May 1st then switched to LRAWD, in part as cost was a bit too much for me.
Hopefully offers best chance of a configuration on that boat...
