Enter Dutch coachbuilder, RemetzCar. Typically associated with stretch limousine and hearse conversions, it's decided to turn its talents to something eminently more practical and desirable. While it makes perfect sense from a business standpoint that Tesla wouldn't invest resources into making something that the bulk of the motoring public doesn't want, there is still enough demand for a Model S wagon that more than one coachbuilder has taken up the torch, and RemetzCar isn't the first (though it seems to be the best, so far).

RemetzCar calls its Model S wagon a "Shooting Brake," which, while technically correct, feels more like a ploy to tug the heartstrings of overly sappy automotive journalists than anything else. The Shooting Brake is essentially a standard Model S from the nose to the B-pillar, and then from the B-pillar back, things get interesting. Taking cues from classic British "brakes" of the past and present (the C-pillar area reminds us a bit of the Jaguar XF Sportbrake).
