Siry on CBS morning show

[doug]

"I'll be on the CBS morning show at 8:40 tomorrow. I think they are going to do a teaser shot at 7:40 as well."


I assume those times are EDT. I'm sure a youtube clip will be available shortly thereafter.

Would that be a teaser shot of WhiteStar, aka Model S?

I doubt it. Probably they'll have a Roadster there and talk about things we already know.

Anything less than a WhiteStar unveiling is not going to impress us much.

Exceptions:
-Tranny 2.0
-300+ mile range battery pack
-ZAP-X production announcement :biggrin:

Well most of us on this forum follow everything Tesla does. However, I'm sure much of the CBS morning show audience has never heard of Tesla Motors. If they have a Roadster there live, that will get a lot of attention, and talk about Whitestar and a possible $30K Bluestar will be of interest.

Martin has been on the NBC Today Show before. The CBS Early Show is the worst rated, so I doubt there will be a major reveal (unless that's all he could book).

So anyone get to see it? I don't actually own a TV set, so I have to wait for a web clip.

The description, however, sounds pretty much like what we were expecting:

THURSDAY MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW

Maggie Rodriguez, Harry Smith and Russ Mitchell will anchor THE EARLY SHOW from New York. Dave Price will bring us the weather from the UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. Julie Chen is on assignment.

Along with the top news of the day, we will also have the following stories

TESTING OUT THE NEW TESLA ROADSTER - There is a new fully electric sports car out on the market that is making going "green" look cool. The Tesla Roadster is a sleek, fully electric sports car, and the first car produced by electric car firm Tesla Motors. And although it’s priced at around $100,000, the Tesla can travel 220 miles on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack. But with only 650 being made in 2008, this is definitely a car for the rich and famous. We will have a Tesla Roadster on the plaza, and will test it to see how it matches up to other eco-friendly cars.

I just got through watching. The car looked fabulous, all the commentary was positive. And yet, it was a short piece that barely touched on the basics, and they didn't even drive it. So. . . It was fluff. Not bad, but no big deal.

Also, when will CBS get their high-def act together? Other morning shows are in high-def now.

Well here's the 3 minute video:

The car does look great, it's VP17 I think. But, I don't know who can stand to watch these weekday morning shows.
