Last March, Tesla
Motors unveiled a prototype of its second vehicle, dubbed the Tesla S. Following
in the footsteps of the Tesla Roadster was launched recently, the Tesla S takes
the automaker in a slightly different direction - trying to attract traditional
buyers, particularly those less expensive sedans with the highest long-term
cost of ownership.
A
model for seven passengers, the Tesla S will not go into production by the end
of 2011, meaning that when the sedan hits the market, it will be released as
model 2012. This is still a long way, but
interest in the car is constantly increasing. The
Tesla Roadster made its debut in 2008 and is the first pure electric car like
that. Powered
by lithium-ion batteries, the Roadster is famous to go from zero to sixty in
3.9 seconds while emitting zero emissions. Valued
at approximately US $ 108,000 before a $ 7.500 strokes of federal tax credits
for the Tesla Roadster is for the hard core amateur sports car, so it is a
low-volume vehicle. So
far, Tesla has produced only 400 copies Roadster although many times that
number of people are on the waiting list.
Go to a wider
audience
With the Tesla S,
Tesla Motors has decided to go with a wider audience in an attempt to attract
customers. With
approximately $ 57,000 price, the Tesla S will get the same $ 7.500 Roadster
buyers of federal tax credits received, pushing the price of cars below $
50,000. Styled
like a European luxury sedan, the S will seat five adults and two children, an
unusual setting for a car of this class.
Like the Roadster, the S-zero emissions will appeal to environmentally conscious drivers. Powered by a lithium-ion battery sedan should have a range of about 300 miles. At that time, the automaker said they are working on a QuickCharge board unit, a device that could charge the discharged batteries from the sedan in less than 45 minutes to recharge.
