Is that you standing next to it in the second picture? If so, are you tall or is it just really tiny?

I'm tall.

And it's small.

That's a awesome car! Too bad it's more of a play-thing for the wealthy. But, it has to start somewhere...

Talking Re: finally saw the Tesla Roadster in real life...

I hear they are building a family sedan this year for about $60,000. Anyone know more about that?

It's called the White Star, and there's not much about it on their official site. There's some talk of the New Mexico factory they're building to produce it, and not much else. This kind of references it: http://www.teslamotors.com/blog2/index.php?p=8&

There's a wikipedia article on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Star_(car)

you can try googling Tesla WhiteStar...

I heard so far there are only "dealer demos" on the road right now.
Customer's pre-ordered cars will be delivered late 2007.
( sorry, every single car that will be produced in 2007 and I think 2008 has already been purchased and paid for in advance... maybe you can get one in 2009??? )
