Tesla Motors - the Tesla blog
File under: Who Resurrected the Electric Car?
The Dragon featured the Tesla Roadster a while back, never guessing (ok well maybe guessing a little) that it was merely a trojan horse for a horrible tree-hugger conspiracy to make electric vehicles practical and GASP! maybe even cool!
As you know, the initial product of Tesla Motors is a high performance electric sports car called the Tesla Roadster. However, some readers may not be aware of the fact that our long term plan is to build a wide range of models, including affordably priced family cars. This is because the overarching purpose of Tesla Motors (and the reason I am funding the company) is to help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy, which I believe to be the primary, but not exclusive, sustainable solution.
So, in short, the master plan is:
1. Build sports car
2. Use that money to build an affordable car
3. Use that money to build an even more affordable car
4.While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options...
Don’t tell anyone.
Good luck to you silly humans!
