Tesla Roadster now in right-hand drive

Tesla's all-electric Roadster is now available in right-hand drive.

Strong interest from UK customers gave the company sufficient incentive to launch a RHD model which has also undergone a number of improvements including noise-reduction and a new sound system.

"The right-hand-drive model is our response to growing demand from high-performance car buyers in the UK who are also interested in their impact on the environment," said Cristiano Carlutti, Tesla's Vice President for European sales.

The model is available to buy from Tesla's Knightsbridge showroom priced from £86,950.
