Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picado, has ditched the "Oily Rag" and has chosen a Tesla Signature Model S - an electric supercar built in Fremont California.
As part of a Gibraltar Government initiative to use "greener" vehicles, the Model S already has serious credentials being voted in 2013 World Green Car, Automobile Magazine's "Car of the Year" and one of Time Magazines Best 25 Inventions of the Year 2012.
The Tesla has a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds - which compares very favourably with the Maserati Quattroporte VI - a very similar looking car - that covers the same distance in 5.1 seconds.
As for the Jaguar, it will not be retired and is being re-assigned with the Chief Minister's "G1" number-plate now gracing the Tesla.

The Tesla is charged from a regular electrical supply and with its 85 kWh lithium-ion battery independent test show it able to run for over 425 kms on one charge....no details yet of any appreciable increase in No.6 Convent Place's electricity bill!
