Tesla’s Elon Musk has said that Tesla are planning a smaller electric car to take on the Nissan LEAF and prices at around $40k. Will arrive in 3-4 years. Elon Musk is buoyed by the success of the Tesla S and the seemingly inexorable rise in Tesla’s stock which has allowed Tesla to repay its [...]
Chrysler has repaid $465 million of loans from the US Department of Energy nine years early as sales rise – a first, say Tesla. But Chrysler disagrees. 2013 is turning in to a very good year for Tesla. The Tesla Model S has had more praise heaped on it than almost any car ever has, they are making [...]
The Tesla Model S EV sold more in the first quarter of 2013 than the Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 Series or Audi A8 in the USA. But it’s not a valid comparison. We don’t have much time for the push to make the electric car a replacement for the ICE car. But we do applaud – and covet [...]
It seems Elon Musk has a real success on his hands with the Tesla Model S, with reports claiming it outsold both the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan LEAF in the first quarter of 2013. Tesla never managed to make any money out of their electric Lotus – the Tesla Roadster – but it does look [...]
The 40kWh version of the Tesla Model S is being dropped by Tesla in the US, but we do wonder if Tesla ever had any intention of delivering it in the first place. Tesla’s big claim ahead of the arrival of the, very impressive, Model S – and a seemingly vital part of the US taxpayer funding [...]
Tesla has revealed that its Model X SUV – based on the Model S – will be delayed until 2015 so Tesla can concentrate on Model S sales. Despite plenty of cynicism in the car industry that Tesla could deliver their Model S saloon at all, never mind at a reasonable cost, Tesla has confounded [...]
A Tesla Model S Performance has set a world record as the fastest production electric car with a 1/4 mile run of just 12.371 seconds. Yes, we still believe – certainly with the current and prospective battery technology – that the only real use an electric car has is as a small urban runaround or [...]
Tesla has announced prices and model availability for Europe of the Model S – it starts at €72,600 – but no UK prices until late 2013. The Tesla Model S is garnering some impressive reviews now it’s out in the wild in the US, but it’s still some way from landing in Europe. But at [...]
The electric Tesla Model S – which won’t arrive in the UK until at least late in 2013 – is going up in price in the US and gets a spec change. The Tesla Model S is perhaps, just perhaps, the only really credible electric car so far; a luxury ‘Sports’ saloon car that offers [...]
Tesla Motors will deliver the first customer Tesla Model S cars to customer in the US in June as Tesla finally hits the make or break point. The Tesla Model S has been a long time coming, but Tesla now say that the first Model S cars will start to arrive with customers in the US in [...]
