Tesla to build electric sedan in 2010

San Carlos, California - The U.S. electric car manufacturer Tesla has announced that it plans to produce a four-door sports sedan in 2010 with a range of about 400 kilometres on a single charge. The car, priced at around 60,000 dollars (38,100 euros) will be built in northern California. Production of the zero-emission Tesla Roadster began in March this year. It has a price tag of around 100,000 dollars with confirmed orders of some 900 units, according to the manufacturer. The electric motor is powered by several thousand lithium-ion batteries linked together in one battery pack, positioned behind the cockpit. It has a range of 365 kilometres, a top speed of 200 km/h and acceleration from zero to 100 kilometres in just four seconds.

It's funny that Toyota with their plugin prius are struggling to pass only 7km on a full charge, while Tesla can go almost 400km on a single charge and without a need for an option of switching to gasoline.
Tesla sedan will be very expensive but driving it will be dirt cheap.
If i had the money i wouldn't hesitate about buying such car.
Awesome work Tesla :)
