Interesting, they are estimating $42K per car (with options) which is just under £30K.
As I know well from my current vehicle search, you don't get much car in the UK for £30K these days. But somehow I suspect the pricing won't be a straight dollar conversion.

As much as I would really like to get a model 3, when it eventually appears I bet the dual motor model S will drop to the £40k range or below.
I prefer large cars even if used vs new small/medium car. £60k S70D in Europe. https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/-284966083

To answer Jim/The Laird's original question...
CAR seems to think so - and is the first magazine to take them seriously: more than 20 pages of Tesla-focussed review content (and no adverts!) and I expect the others will have to follow suit now

And now this - quickest production car in the world...
...or so they say: 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Not the same as fastest, of course
