More on Tesla Motors
Description from Wikipedia:
Tesla Motors Inc. is a Silicon Valley-based company that engineers and manufactures electric cars (EVs). It is currently the only automaker building and selling highway-capable EVs in serial production (as opposed to prototype or evaluation fleet production) in North America or Europe. In mid-2009, Tesla was producing about 25 cars per week consisting mostly of custom-ordered vehicles manufactured to owners' specifications.
The Tesla Roadster, the company's first vehicle, is the first production automobile to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production EV with a range greater than per charge. The base model accelerates 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds and, according to Tesla Motor's environmental analysis, is twice as energy-efficient as the Toyota Prius. The company had delivered more than 700 Roadsters to customers in the United States and Europe .
The Tesla Model S, using the company's second all-electric car platform, is a sedan in development . It was announced in a press release on June 30, 2008 and a prototype was unveiled on March 26, 2009. Tesla has taken more than 1,500 reservations for the Model S and expects to begin production in late 2011 for the 2012 model-year. Pricing was announced to start at US$57,400 ($49,900 in the U.S. after a $7,500 federal tax credit). Acceleration is anticipated to be 0–60 mph in 5.6 seconds and the base model will have a range of 160 mi when fully charged. Larger battery pack options will be available with ranges of 230 and 300 miles (370 and 480 km).
The company is named for electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla., who invented the AC induction motor.
