We've already driven the remarkable
Tesla Roadster, with its unearthly combination of breakneck acceleration and absolute silence, but it's taken some time for the Lotus-based planet saver to reach the UK with the steering wheel on the proper side.
But finally Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has confirmed it will happen in 2010. However, the Tesla is made in such small volumes that we wonder if the cost of re-engineering it means that it will cost more than the left-hand drive version's already shocking £90,000 list price.
