Been following the Tesla story closely and have been very impressed thus far with their achievements.
Our family car is currently a Lexus RX Hybrid and I think the Model X could be a perfect replacement in 12/18 months - based on our requirements it seems to tick every box.
Had a long chat with the guys at Tesla Westfield and they confirmed that there is currently no confirmed delivery dates/prices yet for the Model X but most likely mid 2015 for first UK deliveries and a slight premium to the Model S - it depends on US sales though which will of course be prioritised. Order books are though open and £4k secures an order (or £30k for a Siganture version and faster delivery).
Even though I'm not in the market for the Model S the guys have kindly offered me a test drive next Tuesday to get the whole Tesla experience - will report back on my views. Also, they mentioned that since opening the Westfield store they have taken over 300+ confirmed Model S orders - impressive going.
If the test drive with the Model S goes well then I think I will stump up the £4k basic option to at least have a seat at the table.
PS - All the guys with i3s... very jealous - had a sit in one at a BMW showroom and they are a very impressive piece of kit.
