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.
