Telsa has opened its first European store in London.
The electric car manufacturer's new showroom has been launched in the UK with the help of Think London, an investment agency in the capital.
Based in California, Telsa is responsible for the design and development of electric sports car the Roadster.
The company said that the British capital's green credentials inspired it to open a store in Knightsbridge.
Michael Charlton, chief executive of Think London, added: "London was the obvious destination for Tesla as the mayor of London recently announced his commitment to making electric cars the 'first choice for Londoners'.
"As well as London being the UK's biggest car market, the mayor's vision to make London the electric car capital of Europe provides a great business opportunity, and we expect interest from overseas investors in this sector to grow."
The UK government has offered a number of incentives to green car buyers, including subsidies for people interested in purchasing low carbon and electric vehicles.
