In fact, having begun the first European deliveries of Model S this August in Norway;
Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland will follow.

According to Elon Musk, Tesla co-founder and CEO, “the focus of Model S on design, engineering and performance makes it very well suited for the European market.”

Before the end of this year, Tesla European operations will expand with ‘’new stores and service centres in locations including Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin, Paris, Cote d'Azur/Provence, Stavanger, Vienna, Amsterdam, Basel, Geneva, Rotterdam, Arnhem, Stockholm and London’’.

Connectikpeople may recall that, Superchargers provide about half a charge in about 20 minutes, delivering up to 120 kW DC (Direct Current) power directly to the Model S battery. The Model S rated range of 480 km per charge.
