    Next Gen Tesla Sportscar

    It's all relevant. Tesla seems to be intending to use the same wheelbase, and a lot of the same technology for the Model S in it's next "few" cars. We've heard talk about an SUV, etc being built on the Model S base as well. So they need to be forward thinking and make it all compatible. Makes...

    Elon, Lutz on Letterman

    Watching it again, it was actually pretty good considering the type of show it is. The only bad parts are that Elon didn't finish his important point again (and I'd say that about the price being equivelent to a $35k car) and that he didn't get to mention that people could pre-order now. Other...

    Dan Neil: Tesla S: a model citizen

    Not to be rude, and please don't take this the wrong way. But my suggestion? Write up a business plan, get some VC money and start your own electric car company. I think you'd find the politics, economics, marketing and engineering would require you to wear many different hats too. I agree...

    To be honest. Judging by the Roadster, and SpaceX, I am pretty confident they will meet all major promises (perhaps over budget and over the delivery date). I agree and think major stuff like quick charge, battery swap, the 17inch screen (which is however minor if you ask me, and I think there...

    Dan Neil: Tesla S: a model citizen

    Your deposits are refundable as far as I have heard, so don't get too angry. The truth is, it is sad to a degree, but it is also understandable. Tesla at the moment is taking on a near impossible task, and at this very specific moment it is trying very hard to court the enthusiasts, potential...

    Removable / swappable pack options?

    You are still considering it from a perspective in which you've paid for the battery pack. "my battery pack" wouldn't apply if you were swapping them regularly, and had a guarantee that you'd never get a battery pack that had been depleted past say 80% usability. Tesla could (and I imagine...

    Removable / swappable pack options?

    I read that earlier too and got the same impression. I honestly do think that is absolutely what they are aiming for. I read/heard/watched somewhere (sorry can't remember where) Elon saying it was equivelent to a $35,000 gas guzzler and that you could have the option to "feel the benefit...
