Tesla has announced that the first right-hand drive Model S car will hit British shores on 7 June, with plenty more on the way throughout the summer. We’ve been waiting since 2008for the all-electric motor when it was originally announced, and now we’re finally able to get our mitts on a right-hand drive model to hit the streets with.

Although it’ll cost an eye-watering £70,000, you’re treated to a fully electric motor that can drive the width of the UK on just a single charge, and it’ll only take 20 minutes to add an extra 130 miles worth of charge with one of Tesla’s supercharging stations, meaning it’s possible to take a road trip spanning a wide range of the country, easily. Throw in that it’s capable of hitting 0 – 62mph in 4.2 seconds, along with a top speed of 130mph, and you’ll find Tesla’s Model S a comparable electric sedan to seriously rival BMW’s and Mercedes’ executive motors.

Most modern electric cars only have a limited range of around 100 miles, and need to be recharged overnight, making Tesla’s Model S a much better eco-alternative, while the costs for juicing it back up are a lot less than typical petrol refill too, meaning you’ll be recouping your investment a lot quicker than with a similar petrol-based sedan.
