In the RemetzCar however, colour-coded piping on seats, rear view mirror and even the glovebox interior complement the light, airy clutter-free environment.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0983.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0983.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The extra weight of the conversion, RemetzCar predicts, is \u2018a few kilos\u2019, and aerodynamically they believe they are at least on a par with the original design, perhaps better, so the passenger-pinning acceleration of the Model S remains absolutely intact.<\/p>\n<p>A rear window wash\/wipe is also there, hidden beneath the stylish spoiler, and due to the cover provided by the spoiler, is actually only required when the car sits in traffic, as the rain doesn\u2019t trouble the rear end when the car gets going.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/LVK_3673.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/LVK_3673.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>One thing that certainly became apparent during the event was the number of solutions available to would-be shooting-brake designers. Niels van Roij himself talking us through myriad design iterations, all of which looked enticing. This final choice was an especially appealing one, with space not necessarily the prime concern, allowing a satisfying curve along the roofline to blend into the existing rear, maintaining all the sparky bits Tesla would rather you didn\u2019t fiddle about with.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0977.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0977.jpg\" alt=\"Remetzcar boot\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The roof was a key design choice too, with van Roij deciding not to follow the industry trend of simply having a rectangular slab of glass moving fore and aft, creating a chrome-flanked pentagon instead which served to accentuate the windswept look of the car.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_09981.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_09981.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>This focus on the shooting brake \u2018look\u2019 meant the design had a very well-defined brief to satisfy, and has done so very well, and clearly has a very different raison d\u2019etre compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/features\/qwest-british-tesla-estate\/\">QWest<\/a> we\u2019ve featured a few times before.<\/p>\n<p>The QWest, famously, is designed for the benefit of the owner\u2019s pet dog, Tesla Ted, and has a much more airy and capacious boot space (constructed by Le Mans car engineers in carbon fibre), than the RemetzCar (constructed by craftsmen in aluminium with chrome highlights), although different design solutions are of course needed when your priority is 40kg of labradoodle.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwest-2c.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwest-2c.jpg\" alt=\"QWest x Tesla Ted\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>By way of comparison, I\u2019d managed to blag a lift to the RemetzCar launch in the QWest, fully refreshing my memory of that car, a star in the Tesla community already. Indeed as we stopped at a charging station en route, other Tesla owners were fascinated, with almost all of them already being aware of the car and of Ted himself.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180612_130039.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180612_130039.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Tales from Model S owners who said they had needed to keep hold of an estate car for their dog revealed they owned everything from a Volvo 240 to a new Audi A6 Avant, showing quite clearly that the space in a standard Model S is not necessarily its strongest point.<\/p>\n<p>This shows a real appetite and desire for a shooting brake conversion. Even though they aren\u2019t cheap, nobody I spoke too seemed remotely put off by the idea of shelling out the same cost at the vehicle\u2019s purchase price to get it converted by either RemetzCar or QWest. If Tesla doesn\u2019t do it, this is their only solution.<\/p>\n<p>Which coachbuilder you\u2019d choose is completely dependant on needs and desires. If your priority is a light and airy space for a dog, or even adults in the rear-facing back row of seats, you\u2019d need a QWest-type solution. If your need for extra space or light in the back is not so strong, the more jewel-like design of the RemetzCar will probably appeal more.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwest-2a.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwest-2a.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1016.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1016.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>In my experience posting on social media, there appears to be more desire for the RemetzCar solution, but of course this is not from potential buyers of such vehicles, and it\u2019s very satisfying to know the first two shooting brake conversions of the Model S offer quite different yet complementary solutions.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0957.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0957.jpg\" alt=\"Remetzcar tesla\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Both firms appear to realise that by working in a mutually beneficial way, they can appeal to a wide range of slightly-compromised Model S owners who wished they had a bit more space in their car, that\u2019s the impression I had from chatting to both companies. A mutual respect and admiration for the routes they\u2019ve gone down, without needing to be bitter or competitive. A refreshing outlook, in what is often a dog-eat-dog world.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwestweb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/qwestweb.jpg\" alt=\"QWest on road\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>A bit of light-hearted banter doesn\u2019t hurt though, and with both companies looking to grab a few more orders in order to make a\u00a0production run viable, their presence on the roads will certainly get people to think about having their own, bespoke, conversion.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1020.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1020.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The appeal of Tesla cars is obvious, travelling around city centres in almost complete silence, costing virtually nothing, spewing out no exhaust gases and having the in-car tech to rival any big German saloon makes all other cars out there look old fashioned.
