Tesla Begins Regular Production of All-Electric Roadster

17 March 2008

Regular production of the 2008 Tesla Roadster commenced today. The 2008 model year is sold out and Tesla is currently taking reservations for the 2009 model year Tesla Roadster. To date, more than 900 Tesla Roadsters have been reserved in total.

Tesla plans to introduce an electric five-seat passenger sports sedan in 2010.

While this is an important milestone for the company and a watershed for the new era of electric vehicles, we still have a lot of work to do. Our key focus with the Roadster will be on gradually ramping up our production in a deliberate and controlled manner reaching a rate of over 100 Roadsters per month early next year.

—Ze’ev Drori, President and CEO

I just admitted that I'm a troll, yet am such a flaming moron that I don't notice it.

Oh well. Keep reading me and mush up your brain.
