I have no idea what the power draw would be but an interesting point to note is that because it's an electric motor it has max torque available from the moment you touch the accelerator (as opposed to an internal combustion engine that has a torque/rpm curve). Also, there is no delay between pressing the accelerator and feeling the car accelerate because it's all electrical signals (as opposed to mixing the proper fuel/air ratio and then waiting for the rpm to rise).

If I had the money I would have bought one. BRB goin to play a mark.

this is a video of the P85, not the faster P85D with Insane Mode

but it gives you an idea of the power draw

(Tesla Model S P85D (691HP) vs P85 (415HP))

I met a fella last year who claimed to have the agency for Tesla.

Knowledgable, experienced ...serious guy.

He was waiting for them to change the MVT.

HE INTENDs to bring them in.

I think he would be working on it already

Megadoc is right. In Texas they are not allowed to sell them because the dealers association determines who can sell cars there. Therefore Tesla just has a store space in a mall with one car on demo and one outside to test drive. If you want to buy one you have to buy it in Louisiana.

It should be possible to buy one in the UK (3mth wait) then ship it to TT. It shouldnt get MVT tax because it has no combustion engine and there is a tax exemption on e vehicles. The problem is who is going to service it.

Well that's the point...we ain't the U.S.

The vehicles will need support here...will they set up or go through an agent..which option makes more sense
