On the continental EU the prices for Gen1 are not as high as in the UK. Also, the price relation of Gen1 to Gen2 vary from 1:3 to 1:2 but neither of them sell really well. So the UK prices for standard Gen1 might be a little bit too high (maybe not for the Type R, you lucky guys ). If I could get one for the prices in the US (around $140-150k) I might take the NC1 but maybe wouldn't keep it as long as a Gen1.

Future technology: I'm driving hybrids since 9 years on a daily base and every other technology would put me far back at the moment + I guess for the next 10 years too. Even though I wouldn't buy electric I respect Elon Musks effort. At least his investing his revenues from his first big deal back in the economy and will deserve place in automotive history for sure, regardless if electric cars are the future or not.
