In that magical year for electric cars – 2010 – Tesla plans to have a 5-passenger electric Sedan out and on the road. The Model S is to have a 225 mile range on a single charge, not too shabby! But as is the case with Tesla vehicles, buyers had better have padded wallets as the price is expected to be around $60,000, and likely higher as the release date approaches.
The announcement came on Monday at a press conference attended by California’s governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has a $100,000 Tesla Roadster on order – a not surprising considering his infatuation with powerful cars. We’ll leave the analysis open on that…
The Model S is to be built in California, thanks to some incentives given by the state, including tax exemptions on manufacturing equipment and qualification for grants and special employee training programs. It’s pretty impressive to have California vying for your business, so we have high hopes that the new Tesla will meet expectations, despite the fact that there are few expectations on the car as of yet – the design and specs are still under wraps. We’ll keep updating as more info makes its way to the surface.
