Tesla Model S P85D – fully specced – costs £109,000

The new four-wheel-drive, 681 bhp Tesla Model S P85D has gone on sale from £81,000 – with first deliveries in July 2015 – but costs £109k fully specced.

Earlier this month Tesla revealed the 4WD Model S – the Model S P85D – as a new range-topping Model S with an enormous 681bhp thanks to an additional electric motor on the front axle, and a supercar crushing 0-60mph of just 3.2 seconds.

What we didn’t know at the time was exactly how much the P85D will cost in the UK or when delivers will start. But now we do.

Already on sale, the P85D will start to arrive in the UK in July 2015 and will cost from £81,000 – a proper performance bargain – but if you start to spec your P85D up as Tesla suggest – and then some – it’s quite easy to break the £100k barrier.

Tesla suggest that buyers of the P85D should spec it with the Tech Pack (£3,600), Air Suspension £1900), 21″ wheels (£3,800) and Next Gen seats(£1700).

We went a bit further and added stuff like a Panoramic roof (£2100), carbon fibre spoiler (£850), Dual Chargers (£1250), Ultra High Fidelity Sound (£2100), Premium Leather (£3800), Rear Facing Seats (£2100) and a set of Winter Wheels and tyres (£4600), plus a few additional add-ons, which meant a grand total of almost £109,000.

At that price, the fully specced cP85D is entering the realms of real ultra-premium performance saloons, yet its enormous performance still makes it hugely appealing.
