  • Tesla sales team in Netherlands sucks, I live in Amsterdam and signed up for a a test ride, few days later I received a phone call from a Tesla salesman, his first question was: Are you thinking in buying the car?, I say I do not know I haven't try it yet, I would like to try it first. then the salesman decided that I was not a possible customer and instead of booking a date for a test said: Give me a call if you are coming to Eindhoven........

    I bought a car from a different company.....

  • That's future.

  • I love dis car so silent and luxorious and

    FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just don't get why Tesla is the only car maker that understands that they don't have to make their car look retarded because it's electric. Just wish it was 10k cheaper!

  • @cetusipy

    50k is peanuts if you ask me... Not that I have it laying around, but if you see what they charge for a Nissan Leaf... Insane !

  • I wish all the best sucsess for Tesla. I can't afford one but when I will meet someone who can and is on the market for a new car, I'll persuade him or her for the Model S.

  • 3 CEO's watched this video. either those of ford, gm and chrysler, or of mercedes, volkswagon and BMW. 

  • @2507144218

    Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Mercedes is with them.

  • at first i though there is no sound in the video, but you have to raise the volume a lot to hear this car :)

  • I just what to slob my know all over it!

  • Gorgeous.

  • So all of a sudden people don't like the sound of an engine?

    Not that this isn't a great car but if we ever go all electric, I'm gonna REALLY miss the sound nice car engine.

  • @cabbagesftw Cars today may become the classics for the future generations

  • @Myaccountbastards they are classics. We need a car revolution. We had a phone revolution so what about cars. I can't wait to buy one and put my 24 inch rims on it.

  • Man, Noisy cities will just turn into zen-like ones. Coolio

  • Do you hear that? That smooth quiet hum? That's the sound of Tesla, sneaking up on the dinosaurs of Detroit.

  • Comment removed

  • I will truly miss the sound of a Beefed-Up Combustion Engine! RAW SEXINESS!

    PEACE

  • @ddesign63 Yep. NASCAR will be funny though! All the cars flying around the track in dead slence! LOL!

  • @sgtcrab1 its not gonna be silence,because they gonna make there unique sound,like jet engine but more quiet.And yes this will eventually happen because petrol is not as punch as we think it is and its gonna run out.

  • So beautiful

  • This car looks so good its not even funny. Cant wait till it comes to production. My family will def get one!!!

  • little on the short side but smooth

  • Ladies and gentlemen, the future has arrived. 

  • ...you have a point there ! Anyways, Killer car !!!

  • Guys vote for Green Party! Screw the Repubs and Dems, and lets get this kind of stuff going! We have the technology we just don't use it, hurry we won't be here too long if we don't do something!

  • beautiful

  • That car is a pure beauty! And it's electric, and fast, and advanced... If this isn't the ultimate dream of a car, which then?

  • Jawol mijn Führer, do habst recht !

  • This is designed by a...German.

  • @Fons1958 you dumb bitch Franz von Holzhausen was born in state of Connecticut

    you make people to hate German people.

    you shame of german nation!

  • @Fons1958 So what? Germans make great cars...-_-'

  • THAT IS JUST STUNNING !!!!

  • totally guna buy one

  • Doesn't look like made in USA forsure.But my point is if they can have success with help from LOTUS I would prefer that over BMW 5 and MB.

  • Electric cars should be equipped with a customizable exterior engine sound generator. This way wouldn't run over those who didn't hear you coming and you could choose an engine sound that best suits your momentary mood. => Kitt anybody? -voilla...

  • @jednoucelovy one of the vices of today's petrol/diesel car is the noise it creates, I live in London and it is just impossible to have your window open as it is just too noisy, so I actually am looking forward to electric cars as the cities will become much more quiet

  • @jednoucelovy I've had pedestrians walk out in front of my clattering old diesel as I'm driving in parking lots. I don't think that sound helps. People are just to preoccupied with texting to be aware that there is a real world around them. 20 years ago I drove an old VW bug with no muffler. Still had encounters with pedestrians who "didn't know" I was there. Life must be nice in those bubbles. Model S actually sounds cool the way it is.

  • is my sound broken?!?!?!

    oh wait, its electric :)

  • I would actually have one of these instead of a Aston Martin sedan, I can't wait until Top

    Gear gets their hands on one of these, or want you let them? You haven't had such a good history I suppose.

  • if sex was a car this is what it would be

  • Wonderfull this the right word

  • We are only at the beginning. And to think that the S already has a range of 300mls. Imagine what we will see in a couple of years o_O

    I am VERY happy that the final ascent of electric cars is having GM sweat so much that they actually developed one for sale, instead of that scam called "lease of the EV-1" Yet ,I have no illusions. GM IS a corrupt cartel, either working with oil-companies, or having invested heavily in them.

  • The Volt is a joke compared with Tesla S or Nissan Leaf

    And a bad joke, that is getting paid by taxpayers.

  • This ladies and gentlemen is a truly glorious and awe inspiring accumulation of all electric automotive technology! Profoundly excellent and impressively splendid work indeed!

  • Jaguar XF/Maserati Quattroporte

  • @Gompop Indeed, it has "borrowed quite some style elements, the grille being the most clear. I truly wonder if they have consulted jaguar, or lotus(given that the roadster is, technically, an Elise wityh a plug..)The end-result is ,imho, rather beautiful... At last an electric car that doesn't look like it is developed by crazy, hemp-sandals-wearing treehuggers... :lol:

  • Enjoy the silence.

  • the Nissan Leaf is 100% electric and available now and also made in Tennessee!!!

  • @KTFOproductions yeah but the leaf is air cooled, its range is 100 miles at best, and it gets from 0 to 60 in about 6 years and a half..

  • I like this better than the roadster.

  • well im young and into cars on running on gasolt once i have my fun i promeised my self i will bet an eletric car and try to me more ecological :

  • Its amusing to watch all the little nerds contorting themselves thinking how they think that there will be world peace of suddenly the use of fossil fuels stops.

    LOL. Morons.

  • @ThunderAppeal Bitch, these nerds are making more money then you will ever make in your fucking life time. Dont be hating...........

  • @sfotpe First of all I was talking about the nerds who are responding to this video.

    2ndly, those guys received 500 million dollars from the government. That is known as a *welfare case*. I'm sure you are all too familiar with being a *welfare case* yourself. No private company wanted to invest in them so they went running to the government for money.

  • @ThunderAppeal Could you site where you got your facts from? I can accept that they got the money from the Obamanation. I had heard that most of the money for that must be paid back, like the banks, GM and Chrysler did. Doesn't sound like welfare to me. I had also heard that there have been many private investors and that they have trouble getting bigger ones because big oil (you know, middle east) scares them away. Just curious where your facts came from.

  • @Liv2xplore Yes the 'big oil' conspiracy theory always explains everything away.

    Dont you ever get tired of swallowing bullshit so gleefully?

  • @Liv2xplore The proper grammer is 'can you *CITE* where you got your facts from.'

    Why dont you *cite* where you got your 'facts' from.

  • @Liv2xplore All electric cars manufactured know are PUBLICLY SUBSIDIZED. Anyone who buys an electric shitbox from toyota, gm, nissan, honda, ford, etc gets a 'tax rebate' from the government. Tax rebate is just another codeword for a WELFARE CASE. Each one of those electric cars is partially subsidized from the government. If real cost of those vehicles were passed along to the consumer barely anyone would be buying those little shitboxes.

  • @ThunderAppeal Nice point! oh wait, you are forgetting that all american car compaines are "subsidized" you moron. Keep spewing slogans and bumpers-stickers.. you have no knowledge, no facts of any kind. Another mouthpiece. Judging by the key words you use I can easily guess where you get your "data"

  • @dheublein 'Oh wait, are you forgetting that' *all automotive manufacturers are subsidized by their respective nations? One of the reasons American auto manufacturers have had it so bad is because of the legacy costs (ie unions) something other nations dont nearly suffer as much from. Not even leftist germany. Anyway, its clear youre just a blabbing idiot who gleefully regurgitates the leftist talking points handed down to you. Communicating further with you is beneath me.

  • @ThunderAppeal classic rhetoric. rather than supporting companies that are actually working to be a part of the solution you and your ilk stand in the way with divisive, left/right distractions of slogans and political jargon. keep your mouth shut and get out of the way of progress.

  • @dheublein LOL. Ok junior. Speaking of progress go get an education, it *might* help you improve your miserable little life.

  • @ThunderAppeal Oh wow a diminutive! Did you look that up too? You got nothing... no substance. Can't even argue.

  • @dheublein I dont argue with little idiots like you.

  • @ThunderAppeal That's because you have nothing. No ability to think for yourself, no ability to debate. Nothing. You are left desperately searching through your canned slogans that you learned on tv.. and when they run out, it's back to the "yer stupider" what a joke.

  • @ThunderAppeal you're just pissed because you won't be able to drive your dualy straight piped road kill makin machine! Gol darn it!

  • @dheublein And why do you think I wont be able to do that?

  • @ThunderAppeal why? because rather than supporting conservation methods on oil and petrol, blockheads like you stand in the way. I just don't understand why you are so against an AMERICAN car company who has not shipped production overseas, and who is innovating to produce a consumer-friendly car that is fully electric, which can eventually be fueled by renewable electricity. What is sooo wrong with that?

  • @dheublein 'Conservations methods on oil and petrol.' For what reason? So it can be used..in the future? 'An American car company.' It was founded by a guy from sweden or norway and theres already rumors of Toyota buying them out. An 'American car company.' Keep living in your little imagination world. "Renewable electricy,' yeah whatever, most electricity in America uses coal to power the generators.

  • @ThunderAppeal Sure they received funding from the government, but what car company in the U.S hasn't? At least they are putting it to good use and not putting out planned obsolescent trash that only get's 17mpg. 

  • @dheublein 'Planned obsolescent' blah blah, keep parroting the idiotic talking points handed down to you. Nothing you say is even remotely based on logic, its all hysteria and hyperbole with you.

  • @ThunderAppeal @ThunderAppeal oh i'm sorry i'm using terms that are beyond your comprehension. please do your homework. Any fool knows that po is a standard part of general manufacturing, particularly the auto industry.

  • I'll hopefully get this car in the future.

    Absolutely wonderful work Tesla!

  • this is the most amazing car i've ever seen. A great car company is emerging

  • I am so glad to see America finally start to produce some quality vehicles that will be good for the environment. for the first time in my life I could see myself buying an american made car, with a 2.5% ownership from toyota lol

  • I love how its silent.

  • tesla....lasst euch nicht aufkaufen!!!

  • BRAVO TESLA!!!! beautiful car, beautiful execution, beautiful technology, simply beautiful...... All electric is the future..... show us the way tesla..... you can keep your prius, 0-60 in around five seconds in a fullsize four door car, beautiful..... bravo.....peace

  • @PetefromTn Oh yeah, oh yeah. Tesla is teaming up with Toyota,,,

  • nice!

  • Daimler bought 10% of Tesla Motors....and Fund Aabar Investments PJSC from Abu Dhabi have 9,1 % from Daimler.....i think they want to destroy the electric car...

  • I'm not so sure. They know that oil is going to run out eventually, so it makes sense for them to prepare by investing in non-oil-burning cars.

  • BYD from China has a 5 passenger all electric car (E6) that will run 250 miles on a single charge. You can charge it up to 50% in less then 10 MINUTES!!! The Volt has a hard time with it's 40 mile range... which takes for ever to charge. They are planning on selling the E6 in the US in 2011 for half the price of the Volt. I bet you everything GM is sweating electric bullets at this point.

  • the 30Billion bail out money we gave to the big2 that failed should have been given to Tesla

  • @emforty2 Wow... I 100% agree on that statement..

  • i agree completely!!!

    But Tesla dosent use oil

  • @emforty2 but gm DID invest in electric cell technology so in a sense they're investing 'in the future.

  • @neoconsnightmare3 Please, GM sold the best technology of the time in 2000 to Chevron, who promptly sued Toyota for putting it in the Rav4EV. As a part of the settlement, Toyota agreed to not put the NiMH battery into any plug in cars. The worldwide patent runs out in 2014. GM sold out the world. Where would we be now, 10 years later if the tech had not been sold to big oil? GM slashed their own throats. My money is on new companties like Tesla, Brammo, Zero, and Tango.

  • @Liv2xplore 'GM sold out the world.' Wah, wah, snivel snivel whine whine. Doesnt acting out like a worthless little bitch every make you feel sickened of yourself?

  • @Liv2xplore given i made whatever statement you're responding to MONTHS ago, i don't quite get what your point is. whatever the hell gm did/did not 'sell out' ain't my concern.

  • @emforty2 :

    "The Department of Energy gave a powerful endorsement of the Model S in June 2009 when it awarded Tesla with a $465 million loan to build the all-electric sedan and the battery packs needed to make it go. Tesla is promising to begin production in 2011, and ramp up to 20,000 units per year by 2013. With the money in hand and the deadline set, Tesla could deliver a winner...."

    so the government, or 'we' did give them money.

  • @emforty2 Right on... this is a company of true innovation and engineering who is not pumping out "planned obsolescent" crap that can't get over 30mpg like most american car companies. They should have gotten all the bailout money. Ford, GM, and co, have still yet to produce anything even on par with the Prius, which is pathetic.

  • @dheublein Actually thats not completely true. GM made a completely electric car in the 90's until 2005...........When they crushed them all.

  • @cougarsstudios I was speaking about their current policies... don't get me started on their dumb-founding actions towards the EV-1. A company that destroys it's fleet of perfectly running, consumer demanded, fully electric vehicles deserves to be bankrupt and out of business so that real innovators and people willing to "do what's right" can step forward. Their greed and relations with the oil companies should have dug their grave long ago.

  • @dheublein But there was very minor radiation comming from the battery. Why spend money to fix that when you can just crush each, and every single car? Seems like the solution I would do....

  • @cougarsstudios haha yeah... makes total sense right? NOT. It's simple... they saw the EV1 gaining market share and interest and had a pow-wow with their oil buddies and agreed that it would be in their best profit interest to bring cars back to the glorius standard of 17mpg. Our avg mileage for vehicles was less in 2005 than it was in 1973. Makes sense right?

  • @dheublein Well, You have to keep the arabs happy, and rich. What have they ever done to anyone? They deserve all the money in the world, Because they have oil! Why use electric vehicles just because we can make them? 17 mpg? Wow! Higher than mine. We hover around 15-16 range. But seriously, in the early 1900's EVERY car was electric. Why has that " New technology " been lost for the past 100 years?!

  • @dheublein If youre so fucking smart why dont you go and start a car company?  All you need is to go running for a handout from the government for 500 million dollars.

  • @ThunderAppeal Whoa you blow me away with your well-thought feedback! Did you take all day to think that up? Any idiot could make better decisions that the american car companies have made. If I had the kind of infrastructure at my fingertips like they do, I have no doubt I could be more successful than them. Why? Because I would base my decisions on principles and common sense, rather than "what will make us the most profit in the short term"

  • @dheublein Wow, if only? If only. Well guess what you dont have that 'infrastructure at your fingertips.' One of the reasons is because youre a fucking fool. So there is something to be said about the free market system, it weeds out the idiots like you.

  • @ThunderAppeal another astounding reply... you have no data, no facts, not even an argument to present. Only name-calling and swearing. I think it's obvious who will be weeded out. Please don't have kids.

  • @emforty2 actually, the bail out did NOT fail; they paid their money back, and ford and gm are selling at record rates.

    that means american WORKERS keep their jobs, and american cars got better.

  • @neoconsnightmare3 btw Tesla Motors is an American car company that builds all it's cars in America

  • @staby8000 coolness. i think i knew that, but it bears repeating.

    

  • @emforty2 they are already being funded heavily by the government dude. just do a little research

  • @emforty2 That is a profoundly valid point. Well commented on.

  • @emforty2 Yup, some of the money should go to Tesla for developing a way to mass produce for the general population. I really don't care about oil companies because they do what they do because so much money involved "black gold" But electric momentum is finally taking shape and will be any day that the techonology to build them would be affordable to mass produce/sell which is easily offset the initial R&D investments.

  • This car has a awesome look to it.

  • @PaulJordan318 looks like a Maserati

  • Beautiful car.

  • Wow, I can't believe this is happening after all these years of promises since the first Arab oil embargo of the mid '70's. And nobody is gonna kill it, like GM killed the EV-1, as Elon Musk has the funds and backers to make this happen. With even Daimler Benz as a partner.

  • Beautiful looking car. Reminds of the new jaguar xf, or Maserati quattroporte! Not sure if the power stations could handle it if every car in a country was electric!

  • Gimme gimme gimme!

  • i gotta have this car!

  • sick!!!!!!

  • It runs like a dream! Runs like a dream! I WANT MINE!!!

  • very nice! I wonder will the Model S will undergo further exterior design enhancements as it get closer to it's late 2011 to 2012 launch. I just feel by then the look it has right now will look old by 2012 design standards.

  • Good question. I think they'll update as the launch date gets here.

  • Wow, very eerie with no engine noise. Why didn't they make this model first before the sports car? If i had the cash i would still buy them both.

  • look up interviews with the CEO Elon Musk. He states that like any new technology, you need to invest in high price low volume to get the appropriate capital but without having to have the manufacturing infrastructure. I didn't understand it either, but the man is a genius. Look up Elon Musk; he's pretty incredible.

  • the future is here

  • *drool* omg...

  • OMG THis car is so beautiful.

  • Very production ready looks! I like what I see

  • I know right. Ignorance is bliss and up and companies thrive off of consumer ignorance. Although electric cars do not have gear boxes XD.

  • correct about electric cars, but their verbiage is still nonsense. There is a lot of it on their site. I find it worse than the typical spin....this MMGW/Green "revolution" is an absolute fraud as far as I am concerned. Follow the money. ;)

  • Well hopefully electric cars will be the wave of the future. This car shows alot of promise but they still have to perfect the technology. 45 minute charging is impressive but I would like the see the charge time down to 5 minutes. Then the batteries should be recyclable and the energy grid must produce clean energy for the cars to be truly eco-friendly. There is no such thing as clean coal technology. Even if Barack Obama thinks there is. XD

  • "recyclable"...how much energy does it take to recycle a battery of this type? Is it less than to make a new one? Does the recycle have the same performance? They would like you to believe so, but it is farce. Coal CAN be burned *relatively* cleanly. The key is non-corrupt pols holding the power industry accountable. None do, as I am not aware of a non-corrupt, multi-term politician. I have nothing against electric cars, but this headlong rush will end over a cliff. Mark my words. best wishes.

  • Even if coal can be burned cleanly I remind you that people have to dig miles into the earth to retrieve the resource. This destroys land and it puts the workers lives into danger. I really dont think its very hard to solve these problems. The powers at will just dont want to. They would rather use the tax payers dollars to build a billion dollar stealth bomber to blow up infadels three thousand miles away instead of saving the planet and putting food in peoples stomach.

  • mines have been in operation for thousands of yrs. clearly what I wrote before it true: the problem is govt. cons allowing big industry to put profit above life. Dems and Repubs. There is a simply solution to cheap clean power. Nukes. Majority of France's power is nuke. Name an American nuke disaster. You can't. Everyone cries "3-mile Island"! Who died? Where was the radiation? "but it COULD have happened"! yes, and wind turbines could fly off and kill children. there is too much hype.

  • Well there isnt a perfect solution. Nuclear energy does have its pros and cons. One its extremely expensive and its hard to dispose of the waste. I agree with you that there is too much behind a particular solution and political parties tend to back one solution on the other which makes the decision making extremely long.

  • Many things today are MUCH more expensive because of lawsuits. I know of a stretch of interstate to have been built over the last 10 years, which has not even been started, and the cost has quadrupled...thanks to lawsuits over "environmental impact"....minor species which MIGHT be affected. I am not saying all lawsuits are nuisance, but far too many are, including those specifically designed to delay and make fiscally unachievable, safe nuclear power.

  • The only way the turbines could break apart and kill people is if there is little to no maintenance done. Too much hype on nothing.  If they do routine maintenance, then all will be fine. Besides all the random hype, electric cars will strengthen our nation. More jobs in America (energy production, car production, battery production, etc) vs importing foreign energy.

  • rat: like most people today, you think you are a great and visionary thinker, but you are not.You are a follower.Your reply is directly out of the media blitz supporting this nonsense.Your reply to my post is ridiculously over-concrete. "More jobs...". Really? How do you figure that, socialist? All that production is going to take place in 3rd world countries, just like it is now.Now that jobs and security (everything imported) are off the table,what is the benefit again?Oh yeah, fairytale MMGW.

  • You do realize Tesla Motors is building two factories in California. You do realize that the energy that will power these electric cars will come from America. So this means more jobs in America. Tesla Motors is still a start up company. They are going to build more factories here in California. Importing energy to power gas powered cars take away our energy production jobs.

    I don't remember any media blitz covering this. If anything they talking about NEVs. What media are you following?

  • If you have that much of a problem with third world country labor taking away America's factory work, then you should have videos talking about it.  You should join an organization that helps American consumers be more conscience of what products they buy. You should also do more research. Tesla is helping America.

  • Yes, global warming and all the green hassle now, is a FRAUD!

  • There is scientific evidence and research being conducted on Global Warming. But anyways besides the global warming part, what about the economic impact and cleaner air?

    More factory jobs in America. More energy production jobs in America. More battery production jobs in America. And cleaner air.

  • false. There may or may not be GW, but there is NO proof of MMGW. Further, your statement about American jobs is naive and not based in reality. It is not the trend for the last 30 years. The trend is for traitors to claim "more jobs" and "do it for the children" and other lies. The fact that they can slap you in the face over and over, and you agree they are not slapping you is a sad day for America.

  • You should really check what the DOE loan means. The DOE loan was meant for factories in the US. Tesla is going to build two factories in California. Nissan will be building or renovating an EV and battery factory in the US (I don't remember which). Tesla all ready announced that they are looking for possible factory sites in San Jose and Southern California.

    The fact that Tesla is going to build two factories in California is overlooked by you. Why?

    That is the trend for the last 30yrs.

  • But why are you mixing Tesla Motors in to it? Tesla is trying to build factories here in America. They are backed by Google.

    This is not GM. GM was trying to build factory in China for the Volt. But this is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM. Tesla Motors is not GM.

  • You sir, are a moron.

  • Go on and on? You mean my two short and to the point sentences? Ahahaha, boy did you think that up all by yourself?

    What an obnoxious little pest. Your stupidity is beyond measure.

  • Looks hot!

    I hope they make an SUV/utility model in future.

    Need all that room plus rough road plus fuel efficiency.

  • where was there info on "efficiency"?

  • I want it!

  • What a beauty!

    This is what electric cars should look like!

    Two thumbs up Tesla! Rock the road!!

    Greetz from Sweden!

  • One of the best looking exec cars I've ever seen...

  • That is sexy, and I will have one.

  • Comment removed

  • Even the windows look aerodynamic! Gotta love that tear drop shape.

  • Does anyone know how much it costs? And what Countries are going to sell it? Another question: What´s it autonomy? and how long you need to recharge?

     Thanks, me are from Europe, Spain.

  • In the US it will start at 49 900 $. They will sell it in Europe, Northern America...and then you can always import the car from any country in the world but that will cost you. This car will be able to travel 300 miles on a charge and it takes only 45 minutes on a special charger.

  • Thank you for your answer. this is the present and the future of the cars. congratulations Tesla Motors. And i want to know, how many KW needs to make a complet carge.

  • depends on the batterytype you choose. One of the configurations will be at 72 KWh so I guess you need around 73-75 KWh to fully charge the battery because it's definately over 90% efficient

  • Oh, lets not forget that, all that power should be used "off-grid" so the car is green as possible. Off-grid meaning, wind/solar. You can definitely have solar/wind setup at your house, ontop your roof and backyard, and what not.

    If not, electricity from a gas company can do but, we all know that pollutes. lol

  • It will cost 57.400 $ =42.000 € :)

    The QuickCharge takes 45 minutes and you can drive about 480 km with one charge.

    All informations are taken from the Spec Sheet on the official homepage ;)

    awesome car. i hope to own one if i´m older :)

    greets from germany

  • beautiful design! great concept! cant wait to get one!

  • Well done Tesla Motors! Keep improving and refining.

  • Great time at the NYC debut party! Rock on, Elon and company!

  • Please also see my interview with Franz at alt-nrg*org

  • Tesla needs to make some affordable EV's and sell them globally so that America can have a brighter future in the auto industry.
