Tesla Motors, the only car maker with an electric sportscar (the Tesla Roadster) is facing troubles in launching its Tesla Model S, high performance electric sedan as the company is suffering from lack of funds. So while issuing an IPO that will take place next week Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has revealed the future plans and model range of the company to instill faith in the company and encourage investors.
The company’s ambitious project, the Tesla S which would be pitted against the BMW 5-series would be launched in 2011 if everything goes well for Tesla. Tesla would be using the Model S’s platform to develop a cabriolet, a crossover and a commercial van (all electric vehicles of course). The Model S has a very flat platform which contains the batteries and the batteries can easily be replaced from below, an arrangement also found in the Nissan Leaf electric Vehicle.
Tesla Motors on May 20, 2010 announced it would partner Toyota to produce a new low-cost electric vehicle at its NUMMI assembly plant in Fremont, California.
