Thread: Tesla's electric saloon to cost from £59,000 in Europe

UK prices won't be revealed until late next yearPrices for the Tesla Model S will start at €72,600 (59,000) in Europe, although pricing for UK-bound right-hand drive cars will not be confirmed until late 2013.
The car costs more in Europe than it does in the US – around €18,000 (13,600) more for the 60KwH model. Tesla says this is due to additional transport costs and import duties, and the fact that US prices take into account a $7500 tax credit.
The European range will not feature the US market entry-level 40KwH car, starting instead with the 60KwH Model S. An 85KwH model increases the price to €83,150 (62,800), while the Model S Performance ups the price to €97,750 (73,900) The limited edition Performance Model S weighs in at €101,400 (76,600).
Production of right-hand-drive cars begins towards the end of 2013, with final pricing confirmed four to five months before the start of deliveries. Anyone reserving a car before the end of December gets a 1300 discount on the final price, although youll need to find a 4000 deposit for the Model S and 30,000 to secure a Performance model.
