Tesla doesn’t make a convertible version of their Tesla Model S, although there is one company called Newport Convertible Engineering who will turn an existing Tesla Model S into a Model S Convertible.
The company has now received an order for 100 Tesla Model S convertibles from China, the conversions costs around $29,000 each with a soft top cover and $49,000 with a hard top cover, this is on top of the Tesla Models S purchase price.
The company has also been in contact with Tesla, and has requested a deal with Tesla to develop another 5,000 Tesla Model S convertibles, whether Tesla will agree to this remains to be seen.
The price of the conversions is high, although there is a lot of work involved in the conversion, it is not just a case of chopping the top of, but the frame and chassis also have to be modified.
