Used Tesla cars
Tesla’s first car was the Roadster in 2008 – an early electric convertible that was based on the Lotus Elise, and even partly assembled at the firm’s Norfolk factory. Bringing strong performance and a decent range, limited production means it’s a very rare sight.
But the breakthrough came in 2012 (2014 in the UK) with the Model S, which was Tesla's first bespoke EV. It was a stylish, advanced, practical and fast electric saloon and helped to get this manufacturer recognised. The line-up expanded in 2016 with the Model X SUV. Based on the S, this was a larger and more practical choice with up to seven seats.
In 2019, UK buyers got their hands on the first Model 3s – an instrumental car in the growth of Tesla. This compact saloon (it’s a similar size to a BMW 3 Series) offered the same tech and performance from larger Teslas, but at a far more affordable price. The latest addition is the Model Y – a smaller SUV based on the ‘3’, but still comes with seven seats. Launched at the end of 2021, it’s expected to become a big hit.
