Tesla Model S Hits Europe As North American Sales Power Up

Tesla's Model S electric sedan has come one step closer to an Australian debut, with the first European deliveries rolling out this week. 

The carmaker is expected to follow the local introduction of its Roadster with a wider Model S launch in 2014, although final details are still to be revealed.

The American company's fortunes continue to grow in its home market however, with its net income for the second quarter of 2013 growing to $26 million, compared to $15 million in the first quarter.
