Tesla Motors Sets European Pricing for Model S
MAIDENHEAD, ENGLAND, Dec 20, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Tesla Motors set European pricing today for its award winning Model
S premium sedan. European customers will have the opportunity to
choose either a 60 or 85 kWh Model S. Country-specific prices can be
found on Tesla's website.
For customers in the United Kingdom, production of right-hand drive
Model S is planned to begin in late-2013. Final pricing will be
announced approximately four to five months prior to the start of
deliveries.
About Model S
Model S is the world's first premium sedan built from
the ground up as an electric vehicle and has been engineered to
elevate the public's expectations of what a premium sedan can be. At
the heart of Model S is the proven Tesla powertrain, delivering both
unprecedented range and a thrilling drive experience. With a rigid
body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a remarkably low
center of gravity, Model S offers the responsiveness and agility
expected from the world's best sports cars while providing the ride
quality of a luxury performance sedan. Model S has received many of
the industry's most prestigious awards and accolades during its first
year on the market.
Model S offers multiple battery options that set the benchmark for
electric driving range. All batteries use automotive-grade
lithium-ion cells arranged for optimal energy density, thermal
management, and safety.
Without an internal combustion engine or transmission tunnel, the
interior of Model S has more cargo space than any other sedan in its
class and includes a second trunk under the hood. The Model S
interior features a 43 cm in-dash touchscreen with Internet
capabilities, allowing for streaming radio, web browsing and
navigation.
