I posted a comment on the Greentech media site to clarify something:

This is a very well reported article with one small but significant error - Tesla is considering partnering with an auto company or supplier for the third car in our lineup, but not necessarily the big three in Detroit. There are many other non-US based companies that could be a partner.

Thanks for the article

I also should clarify that nothing I said at the conference had to do with partnering on distribution. The expert they quoted drew that conclusion on his own. We are still planning company owned stores.

I've never said I was unbiased on the concept of getting the Tesla cars released in Europe. :) Both because range issues are less of a problem here and generally pricer are higher especially in countries without any significant national car production. So as I've mentioned a possible Whitestar will be about half the price of a BMW with comparable performance. So they will be CHEAP in Norway.
I do realise that Tesla atm got enough on their plate. But I just hope they start looking at Europe before the Whitestar is finalized.

Excellent. Thank you Darryl.

And a possible non-US partner... Hmmmm intriguing.

But it's a long way off. Who knows what rival car companies will be doing by then.

BMW always seemed like a good match to me, but who knows.

I think "Project Better Place" is working with Renault on cars for Israel.
Perhaps those could be "Telsa powered"?

Or how about a Tesla powered Lotus crossover (instead of Zap-X)?

A little more feasable now, TEG.
