P3D-
Performance Model 3 Dual Motor
Minus (the performance pack) without Full Self Drive, black interior (kids). As similar as i can get at the moment to a long range all wheel drive. It has 18 inch wheels (UK roads are truly awful for potholes). In some respects better than a LR3D (I think I just got that acronym wrong! ie Long Range Model 3 Dual / All wheel).
I think interior of P3D- might be nicer, faster (either fast enough compared to most cars) and with a badge to excite my inner child. Dreading insurance.
Bought as a UK Limited Company Company Car.
Tax benefits 100% First Year Allowance (FYA) capital allowance (saves around 20% of corporation tax) - lower employer national insurance and 16% Benefit In Kind (BIK) in 2019-20 - 2% next year (2020-2021).
Even if you are not operating a small UK Ltd Company, you might find mentioning to your employer the FYA, employer NI etc if they are reluctant to include Teslas. The biggest downside is that fuel mileage drops from 45p to 4p per mile (even as a company car).
I suspect we might be one of the first locally to have such a car, but within a year they should be more common. We are keen to be ambassadors for electric vehicles and Tesla's in particular. I'm prepared for some niggles (small problems) but I'm very interested at Tesla's engineering approach.
I can't bring myself to buy another Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) car. Experiences at main dealers and second hand dealers has been dreadful, so I've kept my old little car going to the point where I don't feel able to rely on it for another winter.
So excited....
