Tesla Model S: On add-ons and upgrades
For most people, to even start considering the purchase of a Model S is a daunting prospect. Even with incentive programs, they are not cheap.

Following on from the ordering and pre-delivery review, here are my first impressions of the Model S. Once the car was off-loaded in Drammen, our DS contacted me, and we settled on a delivery time that suited us.
