Tesla Model S Arrives in Germany

There is no denying the merit of the Tesla Model S, for truly being the first EV one would actually consider buying without having to make any real compromises over a conventionally-powered alternative. Now, while it is slowly gaining acceptance in its home market, the US, Tesla intend to bring and sell it in Europe, as well, as the Europeans, and especially the West-Europeans are a really green bunch.
Now, the first Model S has arrived in Germany, and a lucky few have already had a chance to take it for a spin! Furthermore, in Germany, the car can be easily maxed out on the autobahn, though that action might drain the battery too quickly. Elon Musk said, regarding the Model S and Europe: "Our goal has always been to build the best car in the world and set new standards for safety, range, design and performance. We have achieved this with Model S in North America and now it's time to introduce the extraordinary Model S driving experience to Europe."

The Model S should be available for purchase as of next year, and we’re sure that if they don’t bump up the price too much, Europe may even become a bigger market than the US, as people here have been waiting for a car like this for a while now, and instead of buying a very limited range Nissan Leaf, they can save up some more and buy the base Model S.
