American premium electric car-maker Tesla has inaugurated in London its first retail outlet in Europe. Located in the Westfield shopping center, the Tesla design store, the first of its kind in the UK was officially opend by the company’s co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk who also confirmed that first right-hand-drive version of its Model S will hit UK roads in March 2014.
Since arriving in Europe in August, Tesla has wasted no time establishing itself.
