Through the Chunnel and beyond

We’ve been driving our Tesla in Belgium for more than six months and have racked up nearly 20,000 kms. Every working day I drive it to my job and to my business appointments – no problems whatsoever. It’s perfect for our daily use in and around our home in Ghent. But we were curious to know whether it could “go the distance,” so to speak, and serve as a road trip car.

One year. One Roadster. 40,000 miles.

 
Hansjörg is a stock broker who lives near Germany’s Black Forest. This “extreme driver” drove one of his previous cars 560,000 miles and has already put about 40,000 miles on his Roadster.
I first heard of Tesla when I read an article about the company in the big German business publication Manager Magazin. Before I even finished reading, I wanted a Roadster. An electric sports car with great performance and industry-leading range? I immediately reserved the car, even before I could test drive it the following year at the Geneva Motor Show. I couldn’t wait for my car to be delivered!
