Tesla Model S coming in March

Jan 29, 2009 Auto Tech

Tesla held meetings with groups of disgruntled customers to explain the recent price hikes of its Roadster. Speaking at these, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, let it slip out that the company may show a drivable prototype of its sedan, codenamed Model S for the first time on March 5 in Los Angeles. Production may start from 2011. There was also news on a 440V charger that would facilitate 45-minute charges is in the works, possibly for 2010.

As Tesla navigates its financial and technological challenges, more and more competitors are coming up from other non-traditional manufacturers. Tesla would have to duel it out with Fisker, SSC and others in the coming years.
