Tesla Motors debuts Electric Sedan – Tesla S

Thanks to tech legend, Jason Calacanis of Mahalo.com for inviting me to the a Tesla Motors VIP event held at the Space X facility in Los Angeles, CA. I was excited to see the legendary Tesla Roadster, the worlds first all electric sports car.

I need one of these cars! 😉

After having some time to check out the Tesla Roadster, the crowd was shown the new Tesla S Sedan. I have always been excited about the Tesla but having 4 kids, a two seater isn’t very practical.  The Tesla S on the other hand is pretty tempting!

Here are the specs that were announced during the unveiling..

Tesla S Sedan

Price: Under $50k

Seating Capacity: 5 to 7 passengers

Range: 300 miles on a single charge

Recharge time: 40 minutes

0 to 60: Under 6 seconds

Storage: During the presentation they stated that it could hold a 50″ Plasma TV, a Surfboard and still have room for passengers.

I had to bolt a bit early for another dinner meeting but after I left, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up to get a test ride in this impressive vehicle.  Thanks again to Jason Calacanis for the invite!
