Naomi of Flowerz contacted us via our website over the weekend and by Tuesday had been supplied with a vehicle to suit their new needs.

All-Wheel Drive- Dual Motor
The Tesla All-Wheel Drive has not one but two independent electric motors. These two motors control the front and rear wheels. This aids the handling, traction and control of the vehicle. Having the dual motor means that this vehicle has the ability to power in all weather conditions rain, mud and off road making this car ready for anything.

 

Range
The Model Y is fully electric. Whether it’s a short journey or a long journey the Model Y is easy to plug in with the Tesla charging points.

Tesla currently have over 16,000 Supercharges worldwide, with six new locations opening every week so there really is no excuse not to drive Tesla’s latest electric cars.
