Tesla Model 3 is now available in the UK

As promised, Tesla’s Model 3 is now available to order in the United Kingdom. 

It was quite a long wait for UK citizens, who were able to reserve their place in line to get a Model 3 as far back as 2016 — but better late than never, no?

The pricing (with destination and documentation fee included) starts at £38,900 for the Partial Premium Interior model with a rear-wheel drive. The Long Range model with a dual motor and an all-wheel drive costs £47,900, and the Performance variant costs £56,900. 

If you switch to the Payment screen on the Model 3 order page you’ll also get Tesla’s estimate on fuel savings; for example, for the £38,900 variant, this estimate is £9,500. Note that in the U.S., this number is far lower at $4,500 — and while the U.S. does have cheaper gas than the UK, I’m still not certain that I understand Tesla’s math here.

Estimated delivery for all three basic variants of the car is June (though the first people to get it will be the first who reserved all those years ago). 

Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Model 3 would become available in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong “shortly” after the UK launch.
