Tesla Looks to Expand Offerings to Include Mass-Market Sedan
Tesla Motors seems to have scored a hit with its $100,000 electric roadster, but we're going to go ahead and say that the future of the electric car market does not reside with the six-figure automobile. After all, Matt Damon can only buy so many cars.
Enter Tesla's next project: A mass-market all-electric sedan that will sell for roughly $30K. It will join the Roadster and the upcoming $60,000 Whitestar sedan in Tesla?s lineup. The car remains in the planning stages, but to make it viable Tesla says it would produce 200,000 cars annually. This is a big jump from the 1,800 Roadsters and the 20,000 Whitestars it's planning to build each year.
Will Tesla be up to the technical challenge presented by building EVs at such a low cost? We look forward to finding out.
