Via TechCrunch:
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is holding a press conference tomorrow with Tesla Motors, makers of some of the coolest electric cars on the planet, to announce a 4 door, 5 passenger sedan slated for release in 2010.
Not much information right now but rumor has it that it will be called the Whitestar and should be as efficient as the Roadster model now making the rounds.
The Roadster costs $109,000 but the sedan should be slightly less given its “green family” appeal. We’ll be there tomorrow for some on the scene reporting. Here’s hoping Gov. Schwarzenegger screams “Come with me if you want to live” to the assembled press and then says “Do it, do it now” to the plan to increase the number of electric cars on California roads.
For those who haven’t seen the Tesla Roadster, you can check it out here. The Roadster is basically an orgasm on wheels. :)
I am very curious to see what they do with the new sedan option, especially design and pricing. Thus far, in the world of electrics and hybrids, most sedans have been ass-ugly, so here’s to hoping Tesla hits another one out of the park.
