Tesla is on a roll and its Model S is selling like hot cakes despite a steep price. One man in Norway actually owns seven Teslas, more than any other individual in the world.
Jens Kratholm, a 56-year-old ophthalmologist, lives in Narvik where the average annual temperature is just 3.8 degrees Celsius and the roads are often covered in snow or ice. Yet, that didn't stop him from purchasing six Tesla Roadsters and one Model S.
Kratholm gave one of the Roadsters to his wife as a birthday gift, and shares the rest among his six adult children, who drive the cars when they come visit. He also offers test drive opportunities to patients at his clinic.
The Kratholms love the app that allows them to remotely warm up the Model S, and they're pleased with the available range: Jens and his wife once travelled 200 kilometres to get to a Swedish hotel by a temperature of -40 degrees ― trains didn't work, and diesel in local buses was frozen!
Of course, they eagerly await the launch of Tesla's Model X crossover.
