Quite a shrewd move, me thinks. I can see lots of luvvies/ tree-huggers drooling over that.
At least, until they see the price, they shall anyway....

If they're assembled in the UK, they save shipping on the Lotus bits.  If complete vehicles are shipped from California and pay import duty, I cringe at the cost.

On schedule apparently:

TESLA OPENS FLAGSHIP LONDON STORE
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=20177

"The store...will eventually be joined by three other European showrooms in Munich, Monaco and Zurich."
"right-hand drive models now due at the beginning of next year"

"Tesla is proud of the fact that its new showroom is within walking distance of Harrods - presumably these things are important if you plan to shell out £94k on an electric sports car with the performance and dimensions of a Lotus Elise. Probably more significant is the Tesla's exemption from the London congestion charge."

£94,000 is currently about 155,000 USD

They're looking for a sales manager if anyone's interested... PM me.
