Tesla has reassured all of its potential buyers that it will not be
following the lead of its competition by increasing its initial price
ahead of its release. Tesla has since confirmed that a base Model S,
with an estimated 160 miles of range, will retail for about $57,400 with
a tax credit of $7,500. The 230 mile range version will carry a $10,000
premium with an additional $10, 000 if you want a chance at making 300
miles on a charge. $77,400 will get you the top of the line Model S
300, a limited edition of 1000 vehicles, which will initially be named
the “Model S Signature Series”.
Deliveries are expected to begin around the summer of 2012 in the US,
with the 230 and 160 versions coming later in the year. Tesla hopes to
produce a total of 5,000 cars in 2012 followed by 20,000 in 2013. There
is a two year delivery wait ahead for markets that require a right-hand
drive model.
