Tesla Motors' Plan

The Tesla Motors Blog, this entry by marketing chief Darryl Siry, sums up their business plan:

"We have just announced that we will build an assembly facility in Albuquerque, N.M., to build our WhiteStar sports sedan in the future. We will establish company-owned sales and service centers where our customers can get their vehicles serviced. We have the plans, the management, and the access to capital to achieve our vision of being the leading designer and manufacturer of the most desirable electric vehicles in the world. We expect to grow into a multi-billion dollar company selling hundreds of thousands of vehicles. It might take some time but that is what we are going to do."

Tesla Motors - Cut From A Different Cloth

"From the earliest days of our work developing the Tesla Roadster’s body, we realized we had several major challenges on our hands. We had to achieve a low level of aerodynamic drag to increase efficiency, and we had to keep our mass down in order to maintain a high power-to-weight ratio and achieve maximum acceleration. Equally important was our imperative to create a body style for the Tesla Roadster that made people desperately want the car - irrespective of its efficiency or level of performance."

I sincerely hope my next car will be a Tesla. Not the Roadster but the not-yet-in-production WhiteStar .
