Tesla Motor's Model S electric sedan hits the roads for $50,000


Tesla Motors has finally unveiled Model S in Hawthorne, California. The Model S has been kept under wraps and there's been absolutely no information leaked about it before today. It was easy for them to hold all information on the car as it was being designed at a high-security rocket facility. Firstly, the car looks great , the interior and exterior are both hot. For those who don't know, the Tesla S is a first mass-produced highway-capable electric car. There will be 20,000 units produced annually by the end of the first year and the Model S will start its price tag at about $49,000. For this amount, you will get the 160-mile range pack, but a 230-mile range pack and a 300-mile range pack is also on the cards. The car can fit seven people and there's ample room for luggage. There are some nice dashboard screens here and the main one is fully Internet and 3G capable. The car can be recharged in 4 hours with a 220V outlet. Also, the standard S will get to 60 in 5.5 to 6.0 seconds.
