"The plan is to show it first to existing Tesla customers, then the press, then the public by spring of 2009."

It better happen by spring 2009. Otherwise, their unveiling of Model S will be a full year later than they initially planned. You can't be an entire year late on the unveling of a car.

Those tires look way too big for the Roadster. Could they be for the sedan ?

No, That is just a really small pickup. I think they are for the VP Fleet.

Hmm, the Lambo could be a hybrid. More 'Model S' competition...?

The Peugeot RC Hymotion concept unveiled at the same show looks to be more like the competition with it's (edit, I think it's just a hybrid) drivetrain:

Striking that the Peugeot and Lamborghini look so similar.
And both look a lot like what I expect the Tesla Sedan to look like as well.

Add the Fisker and you start to have a lot of choices in sleek, high end, high style, high efficiency 4 door "fastback" sedans.

Venture Capitalist Steve Jervetson has seen the Model S design:

The Model S is absolutely gorgeous by the way, and it has more people and luggage space than any sedan... Enabled by having batteries and motors all low down below the wheel line. And with a cool trunk option, it can carry 5 adults and 2 kids. Many Apple analogies come to mind regarding the HCI...
(HCI = human computer interface)

How can he have seen the design, when the Model S supposedly is not finished yet ? Or if it is finished enough to show to somebody why wait all the way to next year to unveil the car?
