File:2014 Tesla Model S P85 (14595148594) (cropped).jpg

Wow, a real rarity in my local town! This just turned around in the junction in front of me, lucky I had my camera around my neck! These are very unusual and cool looking cars, built by American car manufacturer Tesla. These have only been sold in the UK for a very short while, and I don't think many have been sold. Only one of my contacts has spotted a UK one of these before, that's urban-miff who spotted one at a electricity station.

I at first thought this was some kind of odd Jaguar XF, but in fact it's way more interesting! This can do 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds, so sure does shift. This is a very early RHD model, only released in June. This one was first registered on the 27th June, so was only 10 days old when I photographed it.

Look at what Cartell says when I search the plate!
