The Tesla Model S Sedan coming in 2012
Is Tesla the Porsche of electric cars?
By late summer next year Tesla will start selling the Model S sedan, when the automaker plans to sell up to 5,000 electric cars, increasing production up to 20,000 in 2013.
More interesting, the Tesla Model S will be offered in 3 different versions based on electric range, offered at 3 different prices.
The 300 mile Model S will “cost around $70,000 with the $7,500 federal tax credit“, while the 230 mile S will cost $60,000 and, finally, the 160 mile version will cost $50,000 – the later two prices also after the federal tax credit.
In my opinion the Tesla Model S is a great looking car that’s certain to offer luxuriously intoxicating electric vehicle performance. Nevertheless, is Tesla doomed to be the Porshe of electric cars?
Not that that’s a bad thing. Not at all.
Still, isn’t Tesla’s future best fitted to push the limits of EV performance, not to mainstream it?
