M3 LR RWD UK!

That has the Model Year as 2021 so probably not the most reliable dataI’ve seen a lease company in the Netherlands state the 0-62 time as 5.9 s (so 0-60 is going to be 5.7 s). Quicker than the RWD model but not by too much.

If £28k is Tesla's production cost, plus an allowable margin, you've got to factor in import duty and VAT.
That brings it to £37k, I think, which is about where it realistically wants to be.
I noticed that but I’m assuming they put 2021 as that was the last major visual update/facelift.
The $2,000 incentive is for a California-registered car and provided by the State of California. The federal $3,750 credit is provided by the US Government. Unless you are aware of some matching programme offered by the UK, I don't think your maths is correct. And as has been pointed out you have omitted UK VAT and import duties....
I expect this is partly due to the insurance cost for business with younger male drivers who want a long range, maybe due to not having home charging.
(Price sensitive private buyers will likely find a AWD on the inventory page for the same price if they look often enough and are a little flexible.)

Yes, but only if your lease company will commit to buying a large batch of them. I expect the lease company will also have to do the pre delivery polish and take over the complete delivery process.

I wasn’t considering an import I was just saying this is the price they’re able to pay over there.
Californians will be paying that amount and through exchange rate that was UK GBP
True though the credits are a smokescreen as we haven’t an equivalent
I'm not going to re-quote your entire post that I responded to, but to my reading it came across as a whinge that the cost in the USA is less than here? Of course you were not implying importing a car (which, for reasons of which you are well aware, would be a very bad idea). And, yes, that is the price many but not all Californians pay for an order today (there are conditions to the availability of both the state and federal subsidies).
Apologies if I misread your post.

Where did you get the UK analogy from?

No worries, often accused of not being as clear as I should
It wasn’t a whinge I was just hinting at possible things to come. I’m not a grumbler on prices I’m happy with what I’ve paid and if it halves tomorrow I wouldn’t give a stuff. Life’s to short for worrying about stuff you can’t change.
Plus looking forward to getting back in the M3 tomorrow after 3 days in an MG HS hire car travelling around Scotland. Boy do I feel privileged

Some LR RWDs have been posted on Tesla's UK inventory.
I justified my original LR on the basis of longer range over the SR+. First EV range anxiety etc. The added performance was just an unfortunate side effect
( at least that is what I told the wife). But if this had been available or I was getting another it would be very hard to justify the AWD LR over this. I don't understand why they are so reluctant to sell them.I expect the profit is lower then the AWD LR and it was only offered to increase Tesla's company car sales but a few lease companies took less then planned.
