A successful launch of the car is imperative for Tesla. Unlike the Roadster, this is a make-or-break for the company.

Tesla S alpha build hits the public roads
2011-01-19 08:00:00 We greatly enjoyed the the engineering walk around videos that Tesla provided a few weeks ago. The engineering was clearly highly advanced, particularly the ultra-low center of gravity provided by the position of the electric motor. But we were left wondering if there was a a drivable Tesla S yet. Now Tesla has answered that ...
Tesla provides a techical walkaround of the new S
2011-01-13 11:35:00 These three videos are very worthwhile to closely watch. Tesla personnel explain how the new Model S is engineered and put together in great detail. This is very unusual – you almost never see this kind of detail more than a year before launch. In fact you don’t see it after launch either – Tesla ...

Tesla Roadster: The world's first electric sports car comes to Chicago
2010-01-23 00:09:00 It tears up the road, but inside, it's as silent as the library.Silicon Valley-based Tesla Motors was founded back in 2003 with a lofty vision - to bring the electric car back to the world and make it powerful. They accomplished that with the Tesla Roadster - a Lotus-like sports machine that rockets from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Last night the company held the grand opening of its first Chicago showroom. There are already dozens of Tesla owners throughout the area, but they're hoping to expand further in the years to come....

Tesla Model S Loaded With Technology and Massive Touchscreen to Control Eve
2009-04-17 05:07:00 The Tesla Model S Sedan has been a long time coming and saying that it has piqued quite a few interests is an understatement. With all electric power and seating for the whole family, the Model S looks to have a promising future. However, in case those reasons aren't enough, Tesla also decided to throw in one of the most impressive infotainment systems available on the market.
Tesla 520 Model S and Roadster
2009-04-03 09:19:00 Tesla says that 520 S Model all electric sedans have been reserved by customers in first week since it was announced. Each customer must pay a $5,000 reservation fee, which is refundable if they choose not to buy the car. The base price for the Model S, which will be available starting in 2010, is $49,900 after a federal tax credit of $7,500. A limited editon of the Model S is available for a $40,000 reservation fee. The Model S is the second car unveiled by Tesla after the sportier Roadster, and it?s half the price. But it?s no slouch on performance. The car will do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds (the Roadster is 3.9 seconds) and has an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph. The car should go up to 300 miles between charges. Best of all, I believe I may actually fit in the Model S. The Roadster isn?t fully compatible with people my size. If you want one, you can reserve it here. You should get it by late 2011. Tesla says they delivered 104 Roadsters in March and about 320 all time. T...
520 reservations already made for the Tesla Model S
2009-04-03 02:21:00 Last week, the Tesla Model S was officially introduced and, as we expected, the car received some incredible feedback. And that’s not all, it seems that people are already lining up for the all-electric family sedan, because in press release made today Tesla has announced there are already 520 reservations made for the car and that the company is planning on opening showrooms in Chicago, London, New York, Miami, Seattle, Washington DC and Munich this year. “Frankly the number of cars reserved in the first week has exceeded our optimistic internal projections,†said Tesla CEO, Chairman and Product Architect Elon Musk. “Enthusiasm surrounding the Model S is proof that there’s pent-up demand for more affordable, fuel-efficient vehicles – including those made in America.†With the Model S to be one of the world’s first mass-produced when production begins in late 2011, Tesla has big plans for the car and they’ve applied for a $350 million loan from the Departme...

Tesla Reveals Most of Model-S All Electric Sedan...Future Still in Question
2009-02-22 17:14:00 The future of Tesla Motors has been in question throughout the past few months and many are beginning to believe they will soon go out of business. However, this hasn't stopped Tesla from planning the official debut of their new Model S Sedan, which is set to happen on March 26.
Pollinated Tesla Pants
2009-01-19 15:53:00 Sometimes I think about things too much, and other times too little. The secret to success in life, I expect, is knowing when to do one or the other, when to think about things a lot, and when to think about things a little.I think I've got it all reversed because I spend a lot of time thinking about things like social interactions on the drive in to work and in the parking garage, and very little time thinking about things like the color of the suit I just bought or whether it's a good idea to turn the car off there in the parking lot instead of leaving the car on until it gets to where it needs to be.I've got to try to reverse that, I think, or I'll end up... wherever it is that people who spend too much time thinking about the wrong kinds of things and not enough time thinking about the right kinds of things end up. Then again, maybe that's already happened; maybe where I am right now is the end product of 40 years of not thinking enough about some things (like career choi...

Tesla Roadster Gets Powertrain Update
2008-05-29 17:33:00 JB Straubel over at Tesla Motors have provided an update on the "Touch" blog about the new, enhanced Powertrain 1.5 for the Tesla Roadster. It seems that the very talented engineers working at Tesla have managed to improve the Powertrain in just about every possible way, and along the way reduced the weight and complexity of the system while improving torque and efficiency! If you haven't seen it, the Tesla Roadster is about the coolest looking, highest-performance electric vehicle out there. The Roadster is an all-electric vehicle with the performance and styling of a top-of-the-line sports car, but it doesn't use any fuel. The car has a 0-to-60 time of under 4 seconds and , with the new powertrain, a quarter-mile time in the 12.9 second range. Sure, the Roadster will set you back a cool hundred grand, but that's not out of line with other top-performance cars. And when their WhiteStar sedan comes out (probably in 2010 or 2011) with a price tag in the $50-65,000 range, I e...

Fisker fights back in Tesla lawsuit
2008-05-15 18:35:00 Fisker fights back in Tesla lawsuit Fisker Coachbuild is fighting back a lawsuit brought against it by Tesla as the Henrik Fisker-run company has asked a California court for arbitration. The request was filed on Tuesday, May 13, with a hearing scheduled for June 11. Tesla filed its lawsuit against Fisker on April 14. In the suit, Tesla claims that Fisker stole trade secrets and designed an inferior product. Tesla hired Fisker to design its WhiteStar sedan, but says Fisker left them with a sub-par design — especially when compared to the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid sedan. Fisker denies the allegations, even calling it "a ridiculous suit," according to Automotive News. In other Fisker news, the automaker says that its Karma sedan is on schedule for production — as evidenced by the latest spy shots. Fisker has taken 500 pre-orders for the plug-in hybrid and is preparing to unveil the car's production interior at November's Los Angeles Auto Show.
AutoblogGreen pays a visit to the new Tesla Motors store
2008-05-12 03:53:00 Tell me you wouldn't have tried the same thing? I found myself in Los Angeles for a quick visit late last week and realized I wasn't too far from the brand new Tesla Motors store. Having read about the opening night gala event and curious about the chic new sales space, I wanted to go check it out. Trouble was, I wasn't close enough to walk, didn't have a car, and have heard too many bad things about LA's public transportation system to see if it was a feasible option for me. Luckily, I met up with Shannon Arvizu (TriplePundit) and she offered to drive the two of us down to the store to take a look at what they've got on display. Didn't take me long to say, "yes." I mean, even if there are have been problems with the development of the car and we're hearing rumblings about ego conflicts among some of the well-knowns who are involved, someone still needs to go and bring back a collection of photos for faithful readers, right? Right. We headed down to Santa Monica Boulevard an...
Judging the Tesla Roadster and Chevy Volt by different standards
2008-05-09 15:27:00 There has long been an interesting paradox in the realm of cars. For some peculiar reason, people who buy really expensive cars are willing to make more compromises to the foibles of the car and cut them more slack. How else to explain grief that owners of Italian exotics withstood for decades in terms of reliability, ergonomics and build quality. Buyers of mainstream cars that often have far fewer problems as a percentage of the number of vehicles built have a fit at every little thing that goes wrong. That same paradox exists today. The Tesla Roadster by virtue of its price and performance falls into entry level of exotic cars. Despite numerous delays in getting the car into production, and obvious compromised in terms of its functionality, most people have been willing to cut the car and the company a lot of slack, myself included. In my case my experience in the auto industry allows me to understand the difficulty of the task Tesla had. I never actually expected them to meet the...

In fact, they are still on the internets and we have some after the break. Jason Calacanis of Weblogs fame shot the first featured moving pictures while Jeff Macpherson from Tiki Bar TV shot some clips as well. So go ahead and have some hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail whilst you mingle with the rich and famous and check out some Tesla roadsters. Hear music legend Quincy Jones play the Tesla horn.

Jason Calacanis borrows Elon Musk?s Tesla Roadster
2008-05-03 19:55:00 That's Jason at the wheel - Photos by CK Sample IIIFor those unfamiliar with the history of this site, a little background. AutoblogGreen and our elder sibling Autoblog are both part of the Weblogs Inc. network of blogs. Weblogs Inc. also includes sites like Engadget and its off-shoots, Joystiq, TUAW, Cinematical and many more. Weblogs Inc. was founded by a gentleman named Jason Calacanis and his business partner Brian Alvey in 2004 and in late 2005 they sold the company to AOL who own it to this day. Jason eventually went on to some other endeavors and most recently launched a human generated search site/directory called Mahalo.com. Along the way he also decided to plunk down some of the cash that he accumulated from building and selling his various enterprises on a Tesla Roadster. Jason wasn't one of the earliest customers and unlike everyone but Tesla Chairman Elon Musk has yet to receive his new battery-propelled speed machine. Fortunately for Jason, Elon apparently took his k...
