In Death Valley, California, it’s usually extremely hot and dry. So if the Tesla Model S maintains it there, then this is a good indicator for the reliability. It is expected that the electric sedan will go on sale mid-2012.
Actually the Tesla Model S has been revealed already, but the delivery to customers will still take a while. If all goes well, the sedan – which is actually a elongated hatchback – into production later this year. Three versions will then be built, each with its own range and of which the price depends. The most expensive can reach 450 km (300 mile) on a full battery. The price tag of this top model is 77,400 dollar.
