That's from EP2. The words "Tesla" and "Roadster" are painted on. Compare that to the rear of a production Roadster like here (P2/VIN F003).


EDIT: Oops... sorry, didn't notice TEG had already commented.

Thanks for finding this thread, doug. I tried Search but must have missed it.

So anyway, Tesla Salina.

Actually, I think that would be a good name for Bluestar, assuming it's a Chevy Beat style car or a sporty hatch back.
But, I think Whitestar needs a name that's a bit more noble.

Whitestar needs 4 wheels for a starter.

The ABG podcast confirms that "Model S" is the official name of the Tesla sedan and not a codename.
Autoblog Green Podcast #24 - AutoblogGreen
They agree it's a pretty lame name.
