Happy July 4th, American automakers | The Car Tech blog - CNET Reviews

2012 Tesla Model S
Tesla may seem a strange fit in the company of these legendary automakers, but its founding at the beginning of this century may be the beginning of a new chapter in the American auto industry. Although not based in Michigan, the company is as American as they come, building its vehicles from the ground up in its California plant. The Model S should be the first in a line of completely electric vehicles.
