Tesla introduced the Model S on March 26. It is priced at $49,900 after a federal tax credit.
In a recent blog posting on the Tesla Motors corporate Web site, the Model S was described as "the volume base from which we will build the Tesla brand," by Franz von Holzhausen, who is in charge of Tesla design. He called the Model S "a face for the Tesla brand" and described it as an "insanely functional car."
The Model S carries up to seven passengers and travels up to 300 miles per charge.
The Model S is already on its way to being embedded in the public's imagination, thanks to an April 29 appearance on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman.
Inside Line says: Perhaps now GM will fire back with just how many people have reserved the Chevrolet Volt, a key competitor to the Model S. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
