They're suppose to come out with a sedan in 2010 or 11

personally I would love to have one only for the concept, I don't particularly like their looks...

Holy sheet!

I stand corrected! Went back and they now have the sedan out - called the Model S and it's hot! Takes 45 min to charge - with a 300 mile range!

Tesla is coming of age... except the price...

Kinda reminds me of the Aston Martin or Maserati... they've yet to determine the price but are taking orders with a $40k deposit... yikes

The roadster goes for $105k and up, can only imagine what the Model S - a sedan that goes 0-60 in 5.4 secs - will go for....

I'm not 100% sure if it's true but the price is around $100,000 but the government would reimbursed $50,000.

Also the picture I posted above is the Fisker Karma which apparently is said to be the clone of the Tesla S. Both companies are now going through some kind of lawsuit.
