True, but the only model that's really interested me is the Model S P100D, which rolls in at or near £100k. It's not an estate, but it does have a decent amount of cabin and boot space - and it's obviously incredibly fast.

The Model 3, which I find deeply unappealing in looks, is about the same price as a top end Volvo V60 hybrid (the fast version), which to me is a much more interesting/useful vehicle simply because it is an estate. Also much closer to the kind of money I could spend. What I'll probably end up doing is buying a 2 year old V60 hybrid in a year or two, to dodge at least some of the depreciation, to replace my aging and "characterful" Saab 93 wagon.

> and the S and X are around ~ £80K

Plus VAT at 20% - and the non-base S models are around £88K, so you end at £105K plus any other registration fees. The X tends to be about the same for non-base.

The Tesla website lists the S at £78k and £93k, including tax and all applicable fees, but really you should then minus the 5k EV grant.

Anything selling to consumers is listed with VAT included.
