Tesla unveils Model S electric saloon Source Tesla last night launched the Model S, a seven-seat electric hatchback capable of 60mph in 5.5 seconds, with a range of up to 300 miles and a charging time as low as 45 minutes. When it goes into production in 2011 the Tesla Model S will cost US buyers around $50,000 (£34,600) after a federal tax credit. Without a tax break, European buyers can expect to pay closer to £50,000. Tesla plans to build 20,000 cars a year in Los Angeles if it can win £240m from US federal loan schemes designed to encourage green vehicles. Slightly larger than a BMW 5-series estate, the Model S is the work of former Mazda designer Franz von Holzhausen. An 8000-cell lithium-ion battery pack lies flat beneath the seats. Customers will be able to choose packs with a range of 160, 230 or 300 miles. A full charge with a standard European 220V power supply will take 4 hours, but that can be cut to as little as 45 minutes with a special 480V supply. The battery can also be changed in around five minutes, meaning the Model S could be recharged in less time than it takes to fill a fuel tank at one of the ‘swap stations’ being pioneered by Project Better Place. The compact electric drivetrain means luggage can be carried under the bonnet. In addition to the five standard seats, two children can sit in a third row of rear-facing seats, and Tesla claims that with just a driver aboard the Model S can carry a surfboard, a 50-inch flat screen TV and a mountain bike with its wheels on at once. Top speed is limited to 130mph, and a later Sport version will cut the 60mph time to under five seconds. Total mass is 1738kgs, with around 545kgs of batteries. The Model S gets the same, seamless, single-speed transmission as the £92,000 roadster, and Brembo brakes Leaked pictures show the car’s vast 17-inch central touch-screen display in more detail. It replaces all the switches used to control the audio and ventilation systems and can be customized and upgraded with new features. A 3G connection allows drivers to access the internet, and check the car’s state of charge remotely. Tesla has delivered around 250 Roadsters but has had to lay off 80 of its 380 staff and close its engineering centre in Detroit after major delays and cost overruns. Much of its estimated $195m funding has come from CEO and PayPal founder Elon Musk. The 37 year-old South African says he expects to receive US Government backing later this year, and insists that the Tesla Model S will make production despite the downturn. “This car will be manufactured,” he says. “Have no doubt about that.”

now we know who NOT to pick as a mod that is good news indeed! now pardon me while i go and light some sympathy candles for your future employers

yeah...an additional mod to help pericles is a good idea...but i think that person should be decided by MADZ and not by public voting...

intially i thought the conficker virus has got me but this turned out to be youtube's april fools day joke

very nice... ahhh this brings back childhood memories of hours and hours spent with lego...good times!.....the empire state building and the yankee stadium one's are brilliant... damn,and a brilliant price tag too...$7500!!!!

LOL....ofcourse not machang....it was just an example

hmm..an eco friendly redneck???? ...now i've seen everything but that is one seriously fast datsun he's got there...and that electric bike was sick!!!

...that "girl" was me first pre-pubercent celebrity crush...i was drooling all over her pics while me mates collected britney spears posters...and whaddya know she's still the hotter one of the two after ten years hell yeah! i dunno how but women like crawford,heidi klum and demi moore seem to get hotter with age

no machan...i dont think so,it's probably done by some guy with a computer... but he may be on to something...i personally dont like this design,but my dad(who is bigger bike freak than me) likes it very much...i think this will appeal to a handful of people...couple that with a ferrari badge and a limited production,ferrari will have no trouble unloading those with a hefty price tag...

Yes...but in a way it is me protesting against the OT restrictions,i totally agree that members should control themselves from going off topic on important threads,but i honestly believe that some casual chatter should be forgiven from time to time...like asking devinda how his job hunt was going on an otherwise dead thread(nissan cab thread)...i believe it's stuff like that,that makes us the autolanka family and not just another car forum...i am a member of other local and international forums,but this is the only site that makes me feel at home and among friends...and thats what makes some of us log in multiple times a day... anyways that is just my 2 cents...i will ofcourse respect whatever decision MADZ and the moderators will make....

oops,sorry guys...i totally forgot this thread,my bad LOL...i guess you both win...JB for guessing the car right and Silver for the girl....it is indeed cindy crawford pumping gas to her conti GT

close enough! yep, it's a 1958 Norton Manx 500cc Racer
