Lets face it 95% of the time no one is going to be using the advantages of the performance model. It's not like you'll be doing 0-60 sprints at every red light you come to, or ripping every canyon like it's your last. However with that said it's nice to know that when you walk to your car...

That is total BS! There are ton's of companies that make carbon fiber front splitters that hold up. My buddies Porsche has one and it look's great. I can't believe that the only difference to enhance performance besides the motor and possible battery pack is a small lip on the back of the...

I am a "not sure yet", You see the Model S is a big car it's a family sedan. I don't have kids, I don't hug tree's but I do want to send a BIG F U to the oil companies, middle men and all the middle men in the world who are getting a cut of my check. So I am investing in Tesla and I do hope...

My silver lining is that I am hopping these super rich that may or may not be jumping the line will get sick of there car and put them up for sale (preferably performance cars in white or gray with black interiors) and I can get one at a discount.:tongue:

Appers all the videos are down:confused:

This is a question Audi and Subaru have answered nicely! I live in the North East and let's just say the weather isn't the best. I love my Audi in the winter but i'd love an AWD Tesla even more. Unfortunately they don't make one and as of right now don't have plan's to offer one. I...

I am trying to figure out how calculate what it would cost to charge an 85 kWh battery from empty to full. The general idea is what would it cost to run a model S for 300 miles. I have attached my local utilities rates but every equation I use seams to come out with outrageous numbers. I...

The only thing new is the venue. This is what it will look like in your garage, or at the Larz Anderson museum outside Boston.

There is an article behind the picture at autoblog green too if your interested. http://green.autoblog.com/2012/04/27/model-x-will-have-excellent-towing-capability-despite-photo-mo/

Dean Kamen Inventor of the Segway and a million other things has a Roadster and I bet he will be buying a model S. Not much of a celebrity since he lives in NH and work's 95% of the time.

LMAO No sales tax and No income tax, Welcome to NH! CA you have it all wrong, just saying.

I would really have to disagree here. When shopping for my wife's Audi Q5 I kept asking my self what makes a luxury car luxury. I mean heck you could get a ford with just about all the option's her Q5 has for thousands less. To me what made it luxury was they made it available first. The...

The prototype tour is basically the second time around with a different car. To be honest who cares. At this point I want to see production cars making the rounds with test drives to reservation holders. We have all seen the various prototypes and million's of pictures have been taken and...

One of you CA boy's is going to have to take some pictures of it at Car's and Coffee Irvine. I want to see the crowd gather around it!

I have wondered the same thing. There has got to be way more than the 3 that have been spotted and floated around. If I remember correctly they were going to build somewhere in the 20's for the Beta's. I would assume there has to be 10 or so at this point rolling around so my question is...

If you remember when GM and Chrysler were on the brink of disaster the federal government stepped in to guarantee the warranties of the failing auto industry. They did it to reassure would be buyers that they wouldn't be stuck holding the bag if one of the big three went under. If Tesla...

At least your better off than this guy.:eek: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-Tesla-Roadster-damaged-wrecked-rebuildable-salvage-RARE-Low-Reserve-WOW-/300628047234?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item45fed3f582 Anyone know the story behind this car? I though $46,900 was a good price but they do leave...

Personally the Fisker looks like a high end kit car. I love the look of the tesla to me it a high end car of the future. Fiskers are kind of like an interim solution till Tesla gets the model s on the road. Then Fisker well I wish you luck buddy!

Which part is wrong? Does Tesla not ever need to make money:smile:, was that the wrong part, or has someone stepped up to offer private leases, because I was under the impression that no banks, leasing companies, or other organizations had stepped up to the plate to offer a lease on a Model S...

Not sure how accurate they are but here is a good list to get you started. 0-60 Times | 0 to 60 MPH and Quarter Mile times including Fast Sports Car, Muscle Car, Luxury Car and 2011 Cars 0-60 Times performance stats! 2011 Aston Martin Rapide 0-60 mph 5.0 2009 Maserati Quattroporte Sport...

The problem would be that it doesn't appear that right now anyone in the U.S. is stepping up to the plate and offering an option to lease a Model S. At this point I wouldn't anticipate anyone will either. The market will determine what the true depreciation of a Model S will be. The first few...

I was told as of 11/07/11 there are 27 world wide left to be sold.

What you guy's seam to be missing is that Tesla doesn't need to lease for at least 12 month's if not a whole lot longer. Why add in any complexity in the early stages to move cars if you don't have to. Tesla as it stands has 6500+ reservations and it could conceivably be 8000-10,000 when...

Any Idea if they will have the car around the following weekend? I have planned a trip to NYC for the marathon the following weekend and was hoping they would have it at the show room by that time so I could stop by with the wife and check it out. Maybe seeing it in person and pulling the...

While I can afford it I have not placed a reservation for a model S yet. I would love to buy a Tesla and support EV’s and American made products and all that but I need to know what the price is going to be all said and done out the door! Tesla has yet to announce the cost of the option...

Autoblog reports on Model S development http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/21/tesla-lets-us-peek-in-on-model-s-development/ And the good news and images just keep rolling.

I have not reserved one, but would love too! As of this moment the Model S is pie in the sky They need to be a whole lot closer to a true delivery date for me. My concern's are what exactly am I buying. You see I want a 300 mile battery and I want the 3rd row seating, induction charging and...

Who say's you plug it in? http://crave.cnet.co.uk/cartech/charge-your-tesla-without-wires-by-the-magic-of-induction-50002116/ BTW I love the changes this car is looking hotter and hotter and as the years tick by it's finally looking more and more like they actually might make them. At this...

Tesla Music Video The chevy volt had a music video (which just so happened to be horrible) and now Tesla has one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7UzElNUrKU&feature=player_embedded#! Thankfully Tesla's is much better!

It would seam to me that at this point Tesla is way behind schedule. From an engineering prospective there is always things to do behind the scene's and The only constant is change, so I would expect things to be changing until the day parts need to be ordered. It's that way in every...

I am not auto industry expert but I would like if your selling in the "premium" "upmarket" or upstream" segment and lets say the car cost 100,000 and your margin is 10% for easy numbers you just made 10k. Now if your car cost 40,000 and you make the same 10% margin you make 4k. In basic term...

Any one else ketch this on Clearing the Air on our DOE loan post on the Tesla website. They explicately state they the model S platform will also be used for derivatives including a minivan, cross-over utility vehicle and a utility van for fleets and other industrial or civic uses. Interesting...

Those are good but was wondering if anyone happened to have anything additional that they might have taken. I am trying to blow them up to around 54" to what ever the length ends up being.

Does anyone know where I might be able to locate some extremely high resolution pictures of a Tesla? I am looking for either Model S or Roadster.

Is there a time line on when Beta 1 will be available. I assume that the Alpha's are what they have shown so far now I want to see the real production deal.

Servicing yes, Charging Stations no because you will have one installed at your house and if you purchase the 300 mile battery then that shouldn't be an issue, Closest Dealerships becomes a non issue if there is a service center somewhere within lets say 100 miles of me, Battery Life in HOT...

Tesla Gets more credability Personally I thing this really lends some credibility to what Tesla is doing. They should now have a ton more key components are there disposal extremely quickly which will lend a tone of street cred to the Model S. This is the news I personally wanted to hear to...

Production #'s? Any update on how many roadsters have been delivered to date? I know they are still a long way off from production on the Model S but you would think they would keep up with the press releases to keep them selves in the eyes of the Media. American is well known for our short...

How many of you guy’s are like me? I am currently sitting on the sideline and will most likely be for a long time until Tesla opens a dealership that is drivable for me. What I am looking for is a location that I would be able to drive to have the car serviced and return home in one day. So...
