New Model S 60 details:

  • Price from £53,400 after £4,500 plug-in grant but P11d price is £58,280 on list of £58,335
  • £410/month PCP
  • BIK at 7% is £4,080 which equates to £816pa at 20%, £1,632 at 40%
  • Zero BIK fuel rate
  • Range 248 miles
  • 0-60mph in 5.5sec, max 130mph
  • No Congestion Charge cost

TESLA has made its entry model even more attractive to business users because you can now get a Tesla Model S 60 for £410 a month PCP.

Alternatively the entry price after £4,500 plug-in grant is £53,400  with the bonus for a profitable company to write down 100% in the first year until April 2018.

However because the P11d is based on the £58,335 list price excluding the grant that’s £58,280 but at 7% benefit in kind tax rating that means a company car user still only pays £68 a month.

Because it’s electric there’s no company car benefit-in-kind fuel tax to pay. And whether on PCP or as a company car, there is also no diesel or electric fuel to be paid for.

Even better, although the price comes down the new rear-wheel drive Model S 60 and the 60D – with dual motors for all-wheel drive – the car is uprated.

Tesla says: “Last month we introduced design updates to Model S, and through continual software updates we’ve made Model S faster, smarter, safer and more enjoyable to drive. It’s part of Tesla’s relentless commitment to making its products better.”

The new Model S 60 delivers more than 248 miles of range, a top speed of 130 mph and zero-to-60 acceleration in 5.5 seconds (against the previous model’s 5.9secs), starting at £53,400 or a PCP payment of £410 per month.

The 60D all-wheel drive option brings even more range and performance, beginning at £57,800. And every Tesla comes equipped with active safety features and Autopilot hardware.

The effective monthly cost to lease Model S 60 is comparable to entry-level premium hatchbacks like the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes Benz C-Class but there are essentially no fuel costs and the business tax is much lower.

It gets better – the Model S 60 referred to the 60kWh battery pack previously fitted but that is now replaced by a 75kWh pack and so all it needs is a software update for the greater capacity.

Tesla says: “With the introduction of this model we are not producing any 60 kWh battery packs, a decision that is the most efficient for Tesla and allows us to pass the most flexibility and cost savings along to our customers.”

Tesla Model S warranty

  • 4-year/50,000 miles bumper to bumper cover
  • 8-year infinite mileage battery and drive warranty
  • No oil or filter service changes

Keep in mind that when comparing the price of any electric vehicle to an internal combustion vehicle, it’s important to compare not just the out-of-pocket price, but also the effective cost of ownership.

Factoring in typical of petrol savings as well as available tax incentives, the effective cost of owning Model S 60 comes to about £46,900.

And there are other advantages to owning a Tesla that add up over time, including:

Less maintenance – Tesla vehicles don’t require regular maintenance like oil changes, fuel filters or emissions checks. And the four-year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and eight-year/infinite mileage battery and drive unit warranty come standard with Model S.

Features of the new Model S

  • Active safety features and Autopilot hardware as standard (Autopilot convenience feature upgrade available)
  • All-wheel drive option
  • Updated exterior styling including the front fascia design, side rockers, LED headlamps and rear diffuser.
  • Interior enhancements to the centre console, phone charging dock, and new decor options.
  • Performance: 0-to-60 acceleration in 5.5 seconds (versus prior 60kWh at 5.9 seconds

Ample charging options – for most Tesla owners, home charging provides plenty of range for daily travel, and with an NEDC range of over 248 miles, that’s still the case for Model S 60 and 60D.

For long distance travel, the Supercharger network allows Tesla owners to conveniently charge on major routes across the UK stretching from Edinburgh to Exeter and connecting to Europe via Folkestone. Plus with the recently launched Destination Charging program, Tesla owners have access to an additional network of chargers at travel and leisure destinations.

New features via software updates – as with every Model S, the 60 and 60D will receive free over-the-air software updates that add functionality and continue to improve the driving experience for years to come.

Plus to provide customers even more flexibility over time, Model S 60 and 60D owners may later choose to upgrade their vehicles to a 75kWh battery just with a software update, should they want to add to their car’s battery capacity in the future.
