Yep, the prices are tumbling, that 66k is now 63k
Now that's getting interesting, a £60k LR Model S is far more attractive to us than a £60k P Model 3.....We're not even near the end of the quarter so sub £60k new 100D S!!!

Would be mighty irresponsible to hand over more cash to Tesla smile.

Don't get too excited, the LR is £69k and has 700 miles on the clock so not new by any normal car companies standard. The £63k car is a 75d with 5700 miles on it...don't even see how Tesla can claim that is new wink

The stock is changing and cycling all the time. I saw a LR Model S this morning for 66k with around 700 miles on the clock. Actually makes some of the second-hand pricing seen on Autotrader look a bit comical, if not downright avaricious.

Let me see, a "new" LR car from Tesla with unlimited Supercharging and 700 miles on the clock for £70k, or a year-old 100D with 10k on the clock for £74k?

I am waiting a callback because apparently they have a load of "secret" stock that is not on the website. If they can get me something near the finance cost of a M3 P- I might be tempted even though it is a bit big for me.

That ‘secret stock’ isn’t totally secret, my website (it’s been mention enough times on here and is on the first page of google results if you type in Tesla uk, lists more than twice as many cars for sale at Tesla as Tesla do. In fact why anyone would use Teslas website to locate a car given the limited amount of info and stock is a mystery to me.

When I start typing "Tesla" in my browser it auto-completes to tesla.com - so that takes me to their official website.
Yours looks like a fan page or something. (No offence, you have amazing info but it just doesn't look remotely "official" because it isn't.... so people won't like it when spunking £50k+ of their hard-earned debt.)

Plenty use it globally. My site leads you to the official Tesla pages for the cars they sell, I dont sell them. Tesla don’t provide navigation to the hidden cars but I do. Perhaps you should have tried using it first.

That's a bit of a strange attitude if you don't mind me saying. You're not handing over money to the creator of that site, you're handing it over to whoever is selling them. The links on the page very clearly take you to Tesla's own website (and others - e.g. Autotrader), etc.

I am trying to explain why not every Tesla buyer in the UK is using tesla-info.com!
I would happily use it.
But I understand that if you want to buy direct from Tesla itself you probably wouldn't bother checking out any third party sites!!
Particularly because Tesla is famous for owning it's own showrooms rather than relying on a dealer network - hence to most buyers of new Tesla's why would you go anywhere other than tesla.com??

I am sure they would appreciate discovering secret inventory (which is why I would use tesla-info.com) but the average punter doesn't ever realise they are missing out.
That's the point.

This is only the models above SR+ spec though. The SR and SR+ are both still limited to 102kW.

If you can wait a bit there should be a decent supply of nearly new Model 3s in the UK too.

In the US there are a lot of rejections for stuff like paint defects and panel alignment. They also have that 1 week/1000 mile return policy. Stuff that Tesla can fix but which result in there being a nearly new low mileage car in the system.

In the US they try to sell them as new to other people, so people are getting deliveries with 60+ miles on the clock. But I don't think they can do that in the UK, it all has to be pre-registered with the DVLA before hand-over.

In Germany / LHD EU it was about 8-12 weeks after general availability of the SR+ (mid April). So late August for UK?
