If you follow Tesla, you'll already know about the $100,000 Roadster 100% electric car. Their "WhiteStar" finally made an appearance with a new name change...Tesla Model S Sedan. Still a bit up there in price...$49,900, but at least it is coming down like they said they would. 300 miles without the need for a recharge.

The Tesla BlueStar is the codename of their next vehicle with a goal of $20,000

When the big 3 go bankrupt...I say Tesla buy up some of the plants they abandon. Definitely the future IMO. Isn't it also funny how a company much smaller than the big 3 can be making so much more progress in this field in such a relatively short amount of time since their creation?

Beautiful car, looks like the new Jags and a maserati mashed together, with infinity headlamps! SEXY TIME!

Damn that is a really sweet-looking car. If I was in the that market, for a sedan, I would seriously consider it, once the consumer reports are out.

Cool car, I'll definitely be interested when they produce a 4WD truck. :D

That's my problem. My life requires a 4x4 SUV.

I'd love to have a sports car or awesome coup, but I can't justify it right now.

The Ford Ranger 4x4 is made in St. Paul MN here. It is shutting down this spring. The plant runs completely on hydro energy and is powered by the dam. The whole plant powers itself.

Tesla should buy this location and make some pure electric 4x4's there. :-P

Not a bad idea. But they would probably be fearful of the labor unions there, which are greatly responsible for Ford having to close the plant in the first place.
