Poldermans, the founder of Solar Hydro Solutions, a manufacturer and supplier of solar equipment to private and commercial customers in Andalusia, purchased a twilight blue Roadster, not necessarily to save some money, but to make some, by linking the electric Roadster to his business.
“I hope that my Tesla catches people’s eye. I want it to teach people that energy all around us and extremely abundant -- more than enough to power our homes and our cars,” said Poldermans, also a former plastic surgeon.
The Roadster delivered this week is the first of a few more to be launched in Spain this Spring. To prepare their way, Tesla and its representatives will hold test drives throughout the Easter holiday in Marbella, starting March 26 and ending April 2.
In Spain, the Roadster qualifies for a national rebate of at least 10,000 euros and provincial rebates of 5,000 euros or more. In addition, EV owners receive a 75 percent deduction of the yearly car tax, free metered parking and the right to use the high-occupancy vehicle and bus lanes. (!)
“The Roadster highlights Spain’s 21st century energy technology like no other car,” Cristiano Carlutti, Vice President of European Sales and Operations for Tesla said. “But ultimately, when you come to a stop light next to an idling Porsche or Audi, you will discover the Roadster’s killer app: You will leave other supercars in the dust -- without a shred of guilt.”
