First batch of Tesla Model 3s arrive in the UK with white interiors
The first batch of all-electric Tesla Model 3 sedans have been spotted on car transport trucks in the UK, as the best-selling electric car arrives in its first right-hand drive market.
A number of bright red models of the long-awaited “mass-market” electric car were seen being transported towards London on the M20 on Saturday captured by a member of Tesla Motors Club forum.
The arrival of the Model 3s is bang on schedule – since going live with the online order page on May 2, 2019, UK buyers of the more affordable Tesla car were advised that deliveries were estimated to commence in June.
With the UK now committed to an aggressive “net-zero” goal to reduce or offset the country’s entire carbon emissions by 2050, the arrival of yet another zero emissions vehicle on the UK auto market will no doubt help Brits work further towards that goal.
While it’s not surprising that it is most likely Londoners that will receive the first Model 3s to enter the UK, it is worth noting that drivers of zero emissions cars in London not only benefit from the £3,500 ($A6,400) UK plug-in car grant but also the London congestion incentive reducing the price of the Model 3 by an additional £5,500 (around $A10,000).
This effectively brings the base price for the Standard Range Model 3 in the UK, before fuel savings and on road costs (but including VAT), down to £29,900 (around $A54,700 converted at today’s rates).
As the first right hand drive market to receive the Model 3, the UK precedes fellow RHD markets Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Ireland, Macau and Japan by just under a month. although we do not expect to see Model 3s begin arriving on Australian roads until some time in August.
