Leftlane to stream live video of Tesla Model S unveiling

I think I'm going to be out and about and not able to watch...wish I could, I'm really fired up about this car.

Wow, that is just HOT!

I'd prefer a smaller version for a daily driver, but this is hot.

Thanks for letting me know about that, Evan. I have embedded the video feed here on PC for anyone who wants to watch:

I don't much care for the looks of that at all. But then I didn't like the looks of the Prius when I bought mine, either. I care much less about looks than about the car's technology. The Tesla S is going to be one fabulous car, even if it looks just like every POS sedan on the market.

I saw a beautiful car at a luxury used car dealership. It was a roadster. It was a recent model car, but it looked like a car Peter Wimsey might drive. I would have bought it if it had been electric. I forget what it was called.

Hi All,

Nice looking car. But the wheels make me instantly question the designer's goals. Why do you need fan-blade brake cooling wheels on an electric car? You DON'T. In fact, one could very easily have flat hub caps with a battery as big as this car will have.

Uhm, maybe to make it look like a cousin of the roadster?

Love the fact they are going to have 3 options of ranges.
Love the 3G wireless built in.
Love the swapable battery pack.
Very sad it won't be available until after I have another EV

LOVE the fact they kept the base model at $50,000 (after federal rebate)!

I ordered...and can't wait the 2+ years it's gonna be until I get it!
