Default Telsa: They are getting closer

The dream of a practical electric car for the average user is one step closer.

First the expensive, but attractive, roadster and now an almost affordable electric sedan.

....and a sweet looking sedan it is!

From what we can see of it.

Regardless of the comment at the end of the story I still think electric is the wave of the future especially if gas prices go through the roof again.
Which they will again, it's inevitable.
I'd like to hear what the 0-60 time is. No reason it couldn't be as quick as the Roadster.

And STILL a better idea than this:

Thanks for the post, Franc!

Evening, Six!!

Yup, logged off earlier & zipped over to the site.

If they could only drop the price by 10 or 15 grand. Then they'd have a vehicle that just might appeal to the masses, IMO.
Pretty darn good performance with room for quite a bit of crap + packaged in an attractive looking car.
It just might be a winner!

There is a government rebate on the all electrics. That way your neighbor can help you pay for it. Got a neighbor you don't like. Buy one and let him know.

It won't be too many more years before electric cars are a common sight.

Now if I can just get them to work on the flying ones.
