TESLA has opened its first UK outlet at London’s Westfield Shopping Centre and announced prices for its electric sports car, the Model S.
Tesla Motors’ Co-Founder and CEO Elon Musk said: “Tesla is taking the UK market very seriously and there are more stores and service centres to come.
“We’re also going to establish a supercharger network so Model S customers will be able to drive long distances anywhere in the UK using our network for free, forever.
“The first supercharger will be energised next quarter and we’ll aspire to have the entire country covered by end of next year. Most importantly, we are hard at work with the right hand drive Model S and we aim to deliver the first one by the end of March 2014.”
Tesla said prices would start from £49,900, including the £5,000 government grant.
