Tesla unveils groundbreaking electric car

I sure hope they get the price down or something. This would be awesome!

Tesla unveils groundbreaking electric car: "LOS ANGELES (AFP) – US automaker Tesla Motors unveiled its state-of-the-art five-seat sedan here Thursday, billed as the world's first mass-produced, highway-capable electric car.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said the company, which last year released a breakthrough two-seater roadster, aims to have its sleek 'Model S' sedan rolling off assembly lines by 2011.

The futuristic zero-emission vehicle will be powered by lithium-ion battery packs capable of between 160 and 300 miles (257 and 482 kilometers) per charge."
