Tesla: Model S sedan will cost $50,000; 100th Roadster shipped

December 9, 2008

GreenTechMedia reports that Tesla CEO Elon Musk:

“revealed that its all-electric passenger sedan, the Model S, will be priced at $57,499. The government will offer a $7,500 tax credit to bring the price to $49,999…

“If you take into account the $10,000 to $15,000 you might spend on gas with a conventional car, the Model S drops to $34,000 to $39,000, he said. That’s around the price of a mid-range Lexus.

And on another note:

“Tesla shipped its 100th car today. It went to Sam Perry, a business consultant and former journalist. Sam became famous this year when Oprah Winfrey cried on his shoulders.”
