At the opening of the new Tesla Store at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherds Bush, Elon Musk revealed the first UK Tesla Model S will arrive in March 2014.

The Tesla Model EV may have been astonishing buyers and car journalists alike in the US for some time – and even Europe is starting to get the first taste of the Model S – but the UK and its RHD needs are lagging a bit behind.
Musk’s announcement came at the opening of the new Tesla Shop in the Westfields Shopping Centre in West London, a replacement for the first UK Tesla Showroom which opened four year ago and then quietly closed when Tesla ran out of Roadsters to sell.
The new Tesla Store is more like an Apple Store than a conventional showroom, no surprise when you realise that Tesla’s VP in charge of Sales is George Blankenship, the man who used to work for Apple and was instrumental in designing Apple’s bright shops.
Other news from the opening included a Supercharger Network for the UK, with the first Supercharger recharging point opening in the next few months and a complete network of Supercharger stations covering the UK by the end of 2014.
Also confirmed was the arrival of the Model X Crossover SUV, which will be followed – but probably not until 2017 – by a smaller Tesla saloon (perhaps the Tesla Model E?) to start picking up sales from cars like the LEAF.
Tesla are still on a roll.
