Along with the factory, Tesla Motors headquarters will also be built brand new company, ensuring that the automaker remains close to its roots in California. Tesla was founded in San Jose in 2003, but had considered moving to New Mexico in the state offered an attractive incentive package. The new facility is located just twenty miles away from its current location.
In California, the state will have to offer a reduction of rent for ten years and have agreed to waive the sales tax on the car when it will occur, at least for California buyers. Instead, Tesla Motors will create up to 1,000 new jobs to the manufacturing plant and headquarters in combination, clearly something that will help the technology industry in Silicon Valley.
In early 2008, Tesla Roadster, finally succeeded in producing exquisite, a car that is based on a line of Lotus in the UK. That the silent rocket car occupants from zero to sixty in just 3.9 seconds while providing a beautiful range 245 miles for each charge. Powered by a state of the art lithium ion, the $ 98,000 Roadster is a real head turner, just the sort of car that takes a lot of excitement in the green market.
As for the Model S is Tesla Motors is not saying much about the car yet. We know they want to build up to 15,000 units per year and sell each car for about $ 60,000. Tesla is targeting the premium manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes, Audi and to position the model S, which is expected to seat five adults. A mile range is expected similar to the model S, which is expected to enter production in late 2010.
With the Model S, Tesla did not expect to wait. Talking about the inclusion of a small gasoline engine to extend its scope, the style of the Chevrolet Volt, has been aired something that could broaden the appeal of the car to include people who want to take their sedan for long trips. As it stands now, the Roadster is recharged when it runs out of juice, an overnight task that currently limits the range of the sports car.
