I read somewhere that more about the Model S will be revealed at the Geneva Motorshow in spring 2009. But lets hope the credit crunch will not hurt too much and keeps the TM wheels turning... ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network

Reservations are taken on the basis of a refundable reservation fee of $5000. The main specs: RANGE • Up to 300 mile range • 45 minute QuickCharge • Charges from 120V, 240V or 480V • 5 minute battery swap Base Price $49,900* or €89'000 Euros. UTILITY • Seating for 7 people • Unique hatch for oversized items • 60/40 flat-folding rear seat • 2nd trunk under hood PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGY • 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds • PURE electric • 2X as effcient as hybrids • Proven powertrain from leading EV manufacturer • 17 inch infotainment touchscreen I'm a bit wary about the price. $50'000 sounds pretty agressive, but I like the design and the fact that it seats 7 people. How realistic is the 45 minute quick charge? ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network

If the type S gets 4 miles per kwh that is at least a minimum of a 75kwh battery pack.... forgetting for a moment the less than ideal real world were chargers / batteries and such have losses and are not 100% efficient ... that is still over 100 kw electrical rate... even if you have a 480V charging outlet , you would still be pulling over 210 Amps. So I say it should not be a problem for modern batteries and BMS... but the problem is where you will get that much electricity that fast... allot of houses don't use more than a 10 kw rate for the whole house ... your talking about an electrical rate greater than the mains hook up for 10 houses all combined into one plug , that is easy and safe for Joe public to use ... 2000 MT Honda Insight MIMA & FAS equipped ...

Signature Series S (more expensive) due out the end of 2011, standard model S due out in 2012. Wait-order preference given to Roadster owners (and their frineds). http://www.teslamotors.com/buy/buyshowroom.php Commute suck? Twike it; You'll like it! http://www.uiuc.edu/goto/twike
