Godspeed.

Priced from 50 to 97k. With production, hopefully electric will become more affordable.

1. I want one of these SO BADLY.

I won't be able to afford one probably for 10 years, but I can still drool. Preferably over the 85 kilowatt-hour battery, and the metallic blue color scheme.

2. That is a lovely looking car.

I wish I had the cashflow to be a first adopter. Sadly, I think I'll join the electric revolution with an Evolve scooter.

3. It looks like a Maserati to me.

9. LOL no, it looks like a Mazda 6

10. A bit of both Maserati and Mazda in my view

The Tesla is a damned good looking car in any case, and I am a serious car guy at heart.

4. I saw one (and a third) at the auto show a couple weeks ago

revolutionary vehicle


The bottom of the car is a long thin compartment where the batteries are stored. Then the motor is right near the rear axle. There is a truck in the front where an engine would be in most cars, then there is a storage compartment in the back (with jump seats which I thought was weird) where the trunk would be.

The first time I saw this thing I had to walk around it wondering where the motor and batteries were.

I expect other electric vehicles to copy this design. It makes much more sense than any other electric vehicle design that I have seen and I make a point of going to the Detroit Auto Show (almost) every year to check on the new technologies.

8. The battery is also removable.

They can put the car up on a lift, remove the battery pack, and put on a replacement.

11. all the battery packs need to be removable

that kinda goes without saying




There is an optional battery package that allows the S to go up to 300 miles on a charge. Just thought I would throw that out there.

5. Nice wheels! Beats the shit out of any of the other electrics. Prius? Please.

6. My wife was soooo excited about the Prius a few years back.

Then she test drove one.

She does not own a Prius.

7. A) They're ugly. B) They can't get out of their own way.
