Oh dear, I did wonder how long it would be before someone did this with their "autopilot" ahem. . . .

More Tesla vs sportcar fun.
That GT sure sounds good though.

I was joking £15k is way too low to expect
But I don't agree with the article. Lets wait and see. UK is notoriously the lowest priced second hand car market when compared to Europe, USA and many other countries.

Its difficult to find the original P85+ price now, but for example in Europe they have dropped by as much as 35% in just two years.

Here is one for 75k euros, with two owners on Tesla forum quoting their particular options cost 117k euros and 118k euros back in 2013.

Crazy that I'm actually really tempted by a £40k electric car. Really tempted. Shame Wifey would kill me if I spent that on anything with wheels. But just goes to show how Tesla have been a 'game changer', to lazily use an Americanism.

Whilst shutting down the investigation is understandable from the point of view of the local authorities I would imagine that Tesla are pretty keen to understand the issues involved! An problem like this if unresolved could put a big dent in public confidence in the car.
Got a very large fire blanket Steve?
