The deposit for non-signature models will be $5k.

I have not seen the car in full. I think Wired has a somewhat valid point with the upward sweep at the rear, but they have over done it by quite a bit. If you look at the teaser, there is a SLIGHT upward sweep, but not nearly as much as the Fisker Karma. It also looks like there is a sweep up...

New Illustration: Illustrated: 2012 Tesla Model S

I really wish I could, but I don't want to risk getting anyone in trouble. That said, it's pretty common knowledge among anyone who has had a bit of advanced info on the car. In fact, I bet if any Roadster owners call Tesla up saying they want to put a deposit on the Model S, they would gladly...

It is RWD.

There was never any truth to the 5+2 seating. Elon has specifically talked about seating, and he did NOT imply there would be such a thing. He said it would seat 5 normally, 6 maximum. For anyone who knows anything about cars, there are a number of large sedans on the market that seat 5 standard...

You are absolutely wrong.

Most Aston Martins and the Bentley GT have hatch backs, but they are not "hatchbacks." Elon has said the car can fit 6 people potentially. 6-passenger seating is not completely uncommon in large sedans. It has actually been an option on a number of american sedans over the year.

I am sorry for being rude. Just put a disclaimer so newbies know it's not real. The only reason I see a problem is people often send me pix they find on the web thinking they are real when they are not. Again, didn't mean to be rude. Keep working on your ps skills, just make sure people know...

You really need to stop posting these illustrations. It could be very misleading to new visitors of this forum. It is not going to look like any of the illustrations posted. It will look much, much better. And why the heck would you graft a much smaller car onto a much larger vehicle? The Model...

It will look absolutely nothing like the 5-Series GT. That is utter nonsense. Do you think Tesla is stupid enough to ruin their chances by making the Model S look horrible? Everyone who has seen the Model S at private previews says it looks amazing. Let's be realistic here.

I don't understand the lunacy of some people on this forum. It is NOT a station wagon for crying out loud. My goodness. And there is no such thing as a Jaguar XF-Station wagon, that is merely a very poor illustration of a hypothetical one. It will have some similarity to the Jag C-XF concept...
