Tesla Plans Compact EV
July 30th, 2008 by john
At the plugin hybrid vehicle symposium in San Jose last week JB Straubel, Tesla Motors‘ CTO, announced plans for a sports compact EV to join the stunning roadster (just starting to ship now) and the sedan that they announced for 2010 a few weeks ago. They expect sales of the new sports car to reach 100,000 units.
My December this year they are hoping to be producing 100 cars a month at their San Carlos factory in California (some of the slow production to date has been intentional as they wait for development of an improved powertrain). They also hope to reach sales of 20,000 units for the $60K (est.) sedan.
