An amazing fact is that this new groundbreaking all-electric Model S sedan by Tesla Motors not only starts at almost $50,000 (and that is after taking advantage of a large tax break) and can double in price when fully loaded, but it also has over 8,000 advance orders with a deposit of $5,000 each even though this fascinating car has not even been test-driven!
It will be this summer before the Model S goes into production. An exciting feature is the promise of being able to go 160 miles on a full charge of electricity, and, if a buyer wants to upgrade to an expensive special battery, the car will be able to go as much as 300 miles. Do you think this will really be possible? If so, it may be a major factor in the decision of so many buyers to show their faith with orders that represent a major investment.
Recharging a car on household current takes many hours, and high-speed recharging stations may not be available in a nearby area as there are so few of them, so what will those buyers really do when they finally have these cars in their possession?
