Just before Christmas, the California based enterprise updated its electronic store to make an addition of new accessories and apparel, encompassing new iPhone 6 plus and 6 wallets/leather cases. If one has a Tesla user on his or her Christmas list, then he or she might be a good person to be gifted on the last moment.
