On Sunday the 8th of June the Tesla S Electric Car was launched in London by Elon Musk, CEO of the Tesla Group.
For the event a Solar Canopy was installed – Malcolm Newberry of Charge Point Services who organised the Canopy`s construction told us: “it`s a very European structure, designed in Denmark, Solar Panels from Germany, built in Bedford, shown in London. Paid for by an American Company for a specific event.”
The design for the Canopy was done by Bluetop of Denmark , and looked like this:

We have some photo`s of the event showing how the Canopy looked on the day – Ole Gregersen of Bluetop.dk who was at the event and sent us the photo`s passed on to us that: “On the way out I was told by the super-charge-guy from US, that the marketing-people had responded that Elon really liked the canopy…”

The Tesla S comes with a big price tag – but for the money it packs a lot of performance & 300 miles range on a single charge. And it certainly draws the crowds!
