Model S in NY

[graham]

What else would it be?

Tesla buys GM?

Martin is back?

I hear Tesla has "very secret" "big deal" that they're about to announce within the next few days. Perhaps it will be tonight on Letterman.

Want to place bets it's the government funding and purchase of the Whitestar plant? What else would it be?

Yeah, I don't know. It was my guess that it might get announced on Letterman (which is being taped at this very moment). Hopefully it is an announcement about gov't loans and a Model S plant which are long overdue. However, the "big deal" sounded like it might be some kind of partnership. I guess we'll find out in a few days, if not a few hours.

Yes, I heard Elon say that as well. I was surprised, didn't think the NY center was close-enough to mention yet

The twitpic photo looks like Chelsea Piers on the west side of Manhattan.

Elon was about to say something about Model S but was cut off by Letterman and the segment ended

Tesla buys GM?

AhhhahhHhhHaaa -- It would be cheaper than the going rate of 2 Roadsters and a Model S.

Here's someone's flickr set: Tesla Model S - a set on Flickr

Looks like they had the Smart EV there, at least on display.

...the location of the New York store as “555 West 25th Street, it’s currently an art gallery and it’s actually going to remain and art gallery even after it becomes a Tesla’s service center. Chelsea’s not going to loose an art gallery as we go up in the world… It should open in a few months.”

Edit, it appears the address is 511W 25th, not 555...

AWESOME location -- if Google Maps isn't lying to me, that's right on the HighLine!
