Tesla: Invest in your EV future | Up to Speed | Los Angeles Times
As of today, more than 1,000 people have plunked down their five large for the right to buy the Model S, the company said Tuesday. That's an average of more than 20 new depositors a day, and $5 million in deposits. In exchange for that commitment, they get a chance to be near the top of the list to buy the car — which Tesla says will cost $57,490 — along with all the bragging rights of owning an electric car, when it comes out.
And that's the big question: the one that makes plunking down $5,000 on it a speculative move at best. When will the Model S really come out — if ever?
