Full electric vehicle,
300 mile range on a single charge.
Can charge for up to 150 miles in a 30 minutes fast charge. Not good for the batteries, my guess!
The battery pack is flattened below the floor. Very good for handling.
4.5 to 5.5 sec from 0 - 60 mp/h.
The price depends on the battery pack either for performance 4.5 from 0 - 60 cost you about 100k US$
The family model about 50K US$ after government incentives.

They build the Tessla and the S class primary for rich people.
The idea behind it is; Instead of trying to produce an Electric car for the mass it would be easier to build one for the rich first.
As technology for building those cars advance the prices will come down and eventually there will be a car for Hansy, Joe, Hilde and Berta.

I hope the car comes with a sound generator ...

Yes, Hamlet, I know all that general stuff. Thanks anyway. Who is importing it? What TW specific information do you have? Cheers.

Tesla owns all their own dealers, so there will not be an traditional importer. We started deliveries on June 22nd and are sold out for around 10-12 months (you order today you get the car around June 2013). I spoke with the Sales manager a few months ago and he mentioned that the car would be for sale in China and Taiwan in 2013. I did not get any further details. Contact the Hong Kong sales for more info.
