Tesla Model S Receives 500 Orders in First Week

Wow what a car , technology has come so far these days , I really hope the company does well.

sounds great, why not outsource the making to another company like with the roadster??? plenty of european companies can do it. or take over a factory thatwont be used- like a GM SUV factory

Those wheels look there lorensir wheels off a SL

When i watched the videos of this car doing Test runs i said IT DESERVES TO SUCCCEEEED! Indeed it will Succeed! It runs smoothly and silently! These guys deserve to receive Government funding, because they've got more POTENTIAL than all these other Detroit Manufacturers receiving bail-outs. If the Treasury doesn't extend a line of credit then Private investors should step up - anyone have Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or Carlos Helu's phone number? If they fail to get funding they could outsource production to another Company like Lexus, which would be a symbiotic synergy, given the latter's prowess in Hybrid vehicle production and overall product quality. They would have been having 522 orders [two from me]if i had the money right now, the first would be the normal TESLA S and the other would be the Sport model they'll be releasing later on!. THIS IS THE CAR OF THE FUTURE! LET IT ROCK !!!

its great and will suceed cuz the car market is changing from great petrol power houses to extra efficient cars

yay! look forward to standing around waiting for your batteries to charge... i wonder can you top up the battery using AA batteries? that dashboard alone must consume half the battery life!

atleast the rear side looks better then the new e-class rear..

Does the world need another car plant? I am sure a deal could be reached to produce this in a soon to be redundant GM or Chrysler factory.

Seriously, if I were not a poor college student, and were not affected by the recession, I would put and order for one of these.

Showed my wife the video and she agreed to buy it on the spot. First time she has ever agreed to buy any car I've ever showed her without thinking twice!

What a great car! If I had the money, I'd buy one straight away!

im happy, there is an aletrnative but nah imma pass

Great looking car and I hope it does the best it can, but we will never lose our love for petrolium powered vehicles. It may be the next generation or the one after that where Electric vehicles and Hydrogen vehicles will become the main source of transportation. I'd love to have this car, but I'll wait a few years and see how they actually turn out to be. Kinda skeptical on the range, but we'll see,

Well, I guess the advance orders are enough to prove that the project is viable.

I only want to know how much electricity will this car consume. Like if the electric bill is gonna blow up, is it really worth it?!
