192 the last time the figures were calculated in q1 - so by now could easily be over 600 as suggested

You may or may not be aware that prices and available options etc changed last Friday quite a bit - a couple of colours disappeared (green and brown) and certain spec combinations disappeared (60kwh with four wheel drive). I priced a car up on Sunday I think it was - and then looked again today to see that quite a few of the option prices have dropped (e.g.,paint, twin charge price both down £50, tech pack down £100)
Nice to have the price dropping but I am getting the impression that Tesla's organisational skills leave something to be desired - when I had my test drive on Saturday it was obvious that a couple of the Tesla people were unaware of Friday's changes (one of the people there knew about them) and I wonder if they know about the additional changes today/yesterday. Surely, if you are going to make major changes on a Friday to pricing then you don't change them again the following Tuesday - it's just confusing for customers

I just got an email saying if I was ready to order to do it now as there is an imminent price increase due to currency adjustment. Not sure how much.
I did come across an article that Teslas policy is to sell the cars worldwide at the same price, except for transport, local taxes. Which is basically means we pay nearly the same in £ as the number in $ thanks to import duty, vat on the import duyy and fuel duty on the trucks that gets the cars delivered. Still at least we get the NHS.

This article here confirms all that you are saying https://transportevolved.com/2014/11/11/live-europ...
From that article I wondered if it was the euro not sterling price that was going to change but a quick f ex search shows £ has gone from $1.68 to $1.58 so roughly 6%. That would be £3500-£4000 price increase - partly reversing the op's observation
Irritating (rubbish of them to keep changing the price every few days) but I see that the deposit is fully refundable at any time. If I get one I want it delivering before 31 March - miss that and the tax deduction is pushed back a year. Wonder if i should order one to fix the price and delivery - salesman Saturday said if order now it would come february

Down again! £61,780 for base model S when I started this topic, £56,400 now.
I wonder if the low oil prices are having an effect on sales. I've been doing the man maths at £5 a gallon.
Either way, low fuel price short term, business lease drops another £100 a month and a raft of superchargers opening says time to jump in.
