Tesla Motors announced today that the iconic Tesla Roadster is now available with new innovations and options, but only in limited markets. The last version of the historic, limited-production electric supercar will only be available in Europe, Asia and Australia.

"This latest version embodies Tesla’s commitment to constant improvement. These Roadsters are our best ever.”
