Electric sports car manufacturer Tesla has officially begun production of right-hand-drive versions of its electric roadster for the company’s London showroom.
“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 and Operations, said in a statement released by the automaker. “Tesla is dramatically expanding its retail footprint in Europe, we look forward to building our community of owners and fans throughout the continent.”
Tesla ’s plans for worldwide distribution mean that the right-hand-drive Roadster will likely go on sale in other right-hand-drive markets like Japan, India and Australia in the future.
