OMG the S is as wide as a cricket pitch.
Saw one on familiar roads near home yesterday for the first time.
My the S is one wide set of wheels.
Certainly looks great on the road.
Edit
Just checked my email where Tesla have sent me a message saying that they have a batch if X and S cars available for December purchase and pick up if anyone is interested, the prices vary for 75D to 100D power packs.

Totally agree on the P100D being over-priced. You can get a 75D for £70k base and it's still as quick as a Macan Turbo up to 100 mph and has more instant torque on tap. I actually preferred the smooth power delivery of the 75D over the brutal P100D. It's not the kind of car that you buy to out-drag super cars! Once the novelty of blasting to 60 in 2.9 sec wears off, you can hardly tell the difference in normal driving. All variants feel effortlessly quick, making it an easy decision to save a shed load of cash.JR WAL wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:54 pm Had a recent test drive in the model X P100D and liked the space inside, but couldn't get passed the price point of this vehicle upwards of £130 k. It felt like it was worth half that. Ride was average, and yes it goes but I would be bored in a few weeks. Only advantage is for business owners you can claim 100% relief against corp tax in 1st year, but to fund it (as most business would) on hire purchase its almost £2500 per month! Think I will pass!
I ended up paying £88K for mine fully loaded, which feels a lot more premium than the base spec. Worked out at around £750 per month on a 4 year PCP with £11K deposit. We considered putting it through my wife's accountancy business, but she didn't think it was worth it.

Yes agreed, but only issue for us with the 75 d is the real life range, which would be < 200 miles.Peteski wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 9:15 amTotally agree on the P100D being over-priced.

That’s not a problem for us with the Supercharger network, but there’s always the 100D (non P version) which has a realistic range of around 250 miles. There are few places that wouldn’t be enough unless you really want to travel non-stop for more than 4 hours without a 30 min break.JR WAL wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 9:37 pmYes agreed, but only issue for us with the 75 d is the real life range, which would be < 200 miles.Peteski wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 9:15 amTotally agree on the P100D being over-priced.

I bought one for the space, performance, tech and comfort. Don’t go anywhere near London. Don’t think it looks cheap either, but that’s a matter of personal taste. It’s uncompromisingly minimalist styling for sure, but I quite like that.mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 6:27 pm cannot imagine who is buying these cars unless it’s to beat London congestion charge
Watching the new Grand Tour programme, Clarkson said that as the Hamster crossed the finish-line, he lost control of his totally electric Rimac Concept One and was thrown over a cliff. The resulting fire burned for five days as the individual batteries (in the power pack) progressively caught fire.

Did they seriously leave the car sitting there for 5 days? Doesn't make much sense to me. Are you sure Clarkson wasn't slightly exaggerating? I've never heard of any Tesla burning for multiple days, although it would make sense to quarantine any damaged lithium battery until it could be safely discharged. All cars are a fire risk, some much more so than others. Tesla have made a big effort to make their battery packs as fire-resistant as possible. I have no idea about the Rimac, but I suspect it was a less conservative battery pack design if they had a close eye on weight (which for me is the only real disadvantage of an EV over ICE)
