Silver Tesla Model S Alpha hits the road, carves some corners (video)

Of the few all-electric cars now in production, I like the Tesla Model S Alpha the best. WARNING: It is sooooo quiet - only hear tire noise.

I think it is a good looking car. What is that thing going to cost? I was thinking it was around $60-70K.

That presenter, is really searching for words. He must have been very nervous..."the heat exchangers and condensors are important to control the cabin temperature by controlling it in a computer controlled way." Normally Brits are fairly eloquent.

Looks like an audi-jaguar mash up... but I think the body styling looks nice.

Chevrolet was SOOO close to having a car that looked close to the Tesla YEARS ago...

But Fisker IS building a damned close copy to the GM concept...


Here is the '09 Tesla Concept...



see the design cues of the SS Concept in both the Fisker and the Tesla? You think GM could sell a few cars if they looked as good as the SS Concept did?

I've got a feeling Tesla will fold before they sell the Model S

They just moved into the old Nummi plant in Fremont and were testing the Model S on Saturday morning when we flew over. Good looking car from 1000'
