2013 Tesla Cars

Tesla is pioneering American development of electric vehicles, and founder Elon Musk has even gone as far as purchasing a factory to build their upcoming Model S luxury sedan. Tesla’s first effort, the Tesla Roadster, was somewhat crude, but provided massive thrills in a working package, and proved that the idea of an American-built electric car could be not only feasible, but fun.

Tesla was founded by PayPal executive Elon Musk, and their first vehicle, the Tesla Roadster, was a re-worked Lotus Elise that proved to be just as fun, not to mention substantially quicker in a straight line. With Roadster production ending, Tesla is introducing the Model S sedan, their first all-original design that should retail for $50,000, or half of what a Roadster cost. Unfortunately, Tesla has been plagued with numerous production problems, and numerous demonstrations of working prototypes has done little to ease anxiety about Telsa’s long-term future.
