According to a new survey, the electric Tesla Model S is the world’s most desirable luxury car, beating Rolls-Royce and Bentley. What is a luxury car? Is it the cream on the top of mainstream cars – like Bentley and Rolls-Royce – or does it float down to cars like the Mercedes S Class and […]
Tesla RECALL Model S and Model X for faulty Touchscreens that ‘Weren’t built to last’
Tesla is recalling a large number of Model S and Model X built between 2012 and 2018 to repair faulty touchscreens. There’s a lot to praise about Tesla’s cars, not least their performance and powertrain expertise, but one thing they’re not noted for is build quality. But it seems it’s not just bad panel gaps […]
New Tesla Model S Plaid+ delivers 1,100bhp and 0-60mph in 1.99s to trump the Porsche Taycan
The Tesla Model S has received an update with cosmetic tweaks, new interior and Plaid and Plaid+ models with up to 1,100bhp. Although Tesla has incrementally improved the Model S (and Model X) since launch, we now get a proper major update – although exterior cosmetic differences are small – with a new interior and […]
Tesla Model S CONVERTIBLE from Ares Design looks a convincing drop-top
Dany Bahar’s Ares Design reveals a Tesla Model S Convertible built as a one-off for a client with two doors and an OEM look. Dany Bahar may have made a bit of a pigs ear of things when he was at the helm of Lotus, with grandiose plans which came to nothing and ended in […]
The LAST original Tesla Roadster up for sale – for £1.2 million
The very last of the original Tesla Roadsters – the electric ‘Lotus’ – is up for sale, with the seller asking a not inconsiderable £1.2 million for a piece of Tesla history. The original Tesla Roadster – an electrified Lotus – didn’t have the easiest of rides, especially from Top Gear, but whatever you may […]
New Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin WON’T build batteries – is Tesla heading to the UK for battery production?
Tesla won’t be making electric car batteries at its new Gigafactory in Berlin, perhaps meaning the plan is to have a battery Gigafactory in the UK. Despite a chunk of local objections, and the Covid-19 lockdown, Tesla is making progress with the construction of its first Gigafactory in Berlin. But despite making progress at the […]
UK Government “Searching for Tesla Gigafactory site in the UK” – is Tesla heading for the UK?
An industry report claims the UK Government’s Department for International Trade is searching for a UK site for a new Tesla Gigafactory. All the UK car news in recent months has, unsurprisingly, been pretty negative, with production virtually at zero and even apparently successful companies like McLaren cutting jobs and trying to raise finance as […]
Tesla plans to be an electricity SUPPLIER in the UK
Tesla has applied to the UK’s Gas and Electricity Markets Authority for a license to sell electricity, although beyond that there are no details of Tesla’s plans yet. Is Tesla a car maker that just happens to build batteries and electricity ‘farms’, or is it an electricity provider with a sideline in car making? That […]
Tesla Model S will now do 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds, and the Model X in 2.6, thanks to new OTA update
The latest Tesla over-the-air update sees performance and thermal efficiency improvements lowering 0-60 times for the Model S and Model X. We’ve become used to over-the-air updates (OTA) arriving at regular intervals for our phones, improving performance (hopefully, although not always) and security, and making them more efficient. As cars become more like computers on […]
Tesla has just built its MILLIONTH car – a red Tesla Model Y
After twelve years of building electric cars, Tesla has just built its millionth car, a red Tesla Model Y, as production grows rapidly.
