The first mass-produced highway-capable electric car will
be the Tesla S sedan. On a 220V outlet, the car can be
recharged in 4 hours. The car fits seven people and their
luggage: five adults and two children in rear-facing seats.
8,000 battery cells allow a 300 mile driving range with
the fully loaded version.
The dashboard screens were installed to rid the interior
of buttons. The 17-inch main display is fully 3G and
Internet capable.
The biggest hitch: the car doesn't go into production
until the end of 2011. The Model S will start at just under
$50,000.
