Roadster uses existing infrastructure
The TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster will recharge using existing infrastructure worldwide. All Tesla Roadsters can be refueled from conventional electrical outlets, enabling owners to recharge from their garages, at hotels charging stations, parking lots or nearly anyplace with electricity. The Roadster’s charger is on board the car, so owners simply plug the car into an outlet. Similar to a mobile phone or hair dryer, no special equipment required.
“Tesla and Tag Heuer believe that we should use technology to improve our lives and tread more lightly on this planet,” said Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “We are undertaking this global journey using existing infrastructure, proving that the world is ready for electric cars.”
The Tesla partnership is the first time TAG Heuer has teamed with an electric car company. TAG Heuer, a star brand from the luxury group and worldwide leader Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), has deep roots in the automotive sector. In 1911 founder Edouard Heuer received the patent for The Time of Trip, the first car dashboard chronograph, followed in 1933 by the Autavia -- the first dashboard timekeeper for both automobiles and aviation. TAG Heuer has a rich history and expertise with the world's most prestigious racing teams.
"We believe that high-performance drivers are increasingly searching for products that are efficient, socially responsible and stylish,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, President and CEO of TAG Heuer. “TAG Heuer and Tesla are two of the few companies already achieving these ideals today.”
