Tesla names Model S rollout date

Thu, Feb 12th, 2009

'Leccy Tech Tesla has finally set a date for the unveiling of a road-usable prototype of its four-door Model S electric car. The date? 23 March. The place? The Tesla Design Studio inside the SpaceX factory in Hawthorn, California.

While keeping the look of the S a closely guarded secret, Tesla has said its objective with the Model S was "to create one of the most functional, intuitive and beautiful vehicles on the road”. Fair enough, but we wouldn't really have expected them to say it was impracticable, a pig to drive and looked like the back end of a bus, would we?

Other news from the 'leccy sports car maker includes a claim that it will be profitable by “mid year” - doubtless helped by recent price rises - and that it is has sold out of Roadster production until November, meaning that unlike the majority of car manufacturers on the planet, Tesla knows where next months rent is coming from.

Our system thought this story was mainly about: Roadster, Tesla, Elon Musk
