But it never happens. Every US car sold here costs about the same in gbp
numbers as dollars. Which is why they are so rare and poor value.

The car will be made in England.

But that is irrelevant as it won't be available here.

Again from the FAQ

"We will not sell a Tesla Roadster to anyone outside of the

Now there is nothing stopping anyone privately importing one as it
could be licenced and used on the road after undergoing the
appropriate type testing i.e. single vehicle approval but the support
from Tesla would be non existent.
