#Real Musk fans can take a last ride in a Tesla hearse — to their funeral

#Real Musk fans can take a last ride in a Tesla hearse — to their funeral

At SHIFT, we get up close and personal with many Tesla fans. For most, it’s an all-encompassing passion where their car and “The Cult of Tesla” play a big part in their life. 

But, as we all know, life inevitably comes to an end. But fortunately, Tesla fans in the UK can take their passion beyond the mortal coil by traveling to their funeral in a Tesla electric hearse. 

This week, Co-Op Fundercare, UK’s largest funeral provider, launched its first Tesla electric hearse to serve environmentally-conscious communities in London.

The company will also be adding two Nissan electric hearses to its electric fleet. The cars are adapted from the Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf passenger vehicle equivalents. The hearses’ exterior structures are made from recycled composite materials,  enhancing their sustainability credentials. 

Even better, electric vehicle charging points are becoming a standard feature across all new Co-op Funeralcare centers — a handy spot to charge your EV!

It’s not the first time we’ve combined the words Tesla and funeral. Earlier this year, we brought you the opportunity to buy your very own Tesla Model S hearse for a mere $200,000. 

Why not branch out from Tesla to other Elon Musk industries?
