And the VP13 arrival begs the question - where is VP12? I haven't run across any information about it...

VP 12 is in the UK. VP 16 (glacier blue) just got shipped and VP17 (fusion red), both intended for the stores, are on their way.

Wow, sounds like Tesla is already into "production" of sorts, just that it's 'VPs', not yet 'Ps'.

Thanks darryl.

Any word on the seats? Apart from VP11's Microfiber, most of the other VPs seem to have standard black seats. Are the store models the same or does VP17 feature the odd bit of red leather as well?

On 3/21/08 Siry is quoted as saying there are 27 prototypes.

I think 10 EPs and 17 VPs.
He probably didn't count the mules, & bucks.

VP12 is black with brown interior. It was used for test drives in Monaco to launch European sales.
