This is good news for the company, as people around the world begin to take notice of what it has to offer and how it is going to change the future.

According to a recent Automotive News article, “L.E.A.D.E.R. stands for Leaders in European Automotive Development, Excellence, and Research. The awards recognize one top achievement each for innovation in product development and environmental technology, supplier technology and retailing.”

In addition to Tesla, other car manufacturers, including Jaguar and Land Rover, also took him an award.

As always, Tesla and the word “innovation” go together hand in hand. The company is not only doing big things in the auto industry, but it is doing big things in a non-traditional manner. Tesla is carving its own path, and this is something that many are beginning to realize.

Although CEO Elon Musk was not on hand to receive the award, Paula den Dunnen, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) communications director for Europe, was in attendance.

“We’re very happy for the recognition of our unique retail model, which includes nine stores in Europe now and will soon grow to include Amsterdam, Brussels and London.”
