When Top Gear (RIP) refers to a car as the ‘most important’ it’s ever tested you know you should take note. The Tesla Model S is a performance car with a difference – it’s emissions-free.

The top-of-the-range version will hit 62mph in 4.2 seconds, and it’s not all speed and no sophistication; instead, the electric car’s ride and interior are more than a match for any gas-guzzling equivalent.

If you want to get behind the wheel to try it for yourself, then Surrey-based company 3F EV has the answer. The environmentally conscious company offers the Model S for short-term rental on a weekend, weekly or monthly basis.

The service includes free delivery and collection, and 24-hour roadside assistance. The smug feeling you’re doing your bit for the planet also comes as part of the package.
