Tesla opens new showroom in London
US-based electric car maker Tesla, has officially opened a new showroom in Cheval Place, London, and it is set to become the auto maker’s flagship European showroom.
The new 5,000 square foot showroom offers free parking and allows Tesla customers to re-charge their Tesla cars, for free. The company’s CEO, Elon Musk revealed, “We expect the London store to dramatically increase our brand identity throughout the continent, and with right hand drive models now due at the beginning of next year, the UK market will provide a solid foundation on which to build this.”
The company also revealed that it will establish regional sales and service centres in Monaco, Munich and Zurich, and four new stores in the United States. The electric car maker will also offer a right-hand drive, entry level variant of the Tesla Roadster for the UK market by the first quarter of 2010 (£94,000 for the Signature Edition Roadster model). Tesla will also put the Model S electric sedan on the market, soon after production begins in late 2011.

I’m excited about electric cars news but tired of hearing about Tesla Motors- until they start producing cheaper models. For electric cars to be serious contenders, they need to be mid-priced economy vehicles that most households can by with tax incentives etc. According to new reports, up to 1/3 of cars buyers want to go electric- which would reduce oil dependency, green house emissions, foreign oil dependency, health care costs, and create jobs.

I like the sedan much more than the roadster. Either way, they are both fantastic.
