- Tesla Model S
Contain your excitement, the car is not here, but you can place your order online today. Tesla is waiting for a anticipated loan from uncle Sam for a purported $350 million dollars to start building their Model S assembly plant in California. Production of the Model S is expected to start in late 2011.
Has anyone mentioned the specs yet… 0-60 in less than 6 seconds , more like 5.6 seconds. Top speed of 120 miles per hour. Optional all wheel drive. On their site they mention 100% torque, 100% of the time with no jerkiness.
How much will it cost? The base price is listed at $49,900.00, not bad seeing that the Tesla Roadster cost almost twice that amount.
The biggest surprise will be for those who look under the hood without being warned fist. Most of us would expect for things to look some what different knowing that the car is propelled by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine, but few would expect to find another trunk. The motor is mounted in the floor of the car, surprise, surprise.
Go ahead and place your order… first come, first served.
