Tesla buyers facing kit blow

28th January 2009

Electric car maker Tesla has sparked anger by asking buyers of the Roadster to pay for kit that previously came as standard.

US deposit holders now have to fork out for extras like the High Performance Charger and alloys. A car specced to the same standard as before will cost an extra ,700 (£4,908). A UK spokesman has promised prices won’t rise here.
