Tesla Model S teaser image #3 (is it even a teaser?)
Well, we just wouldn’t be AutoblogGreen if we didn’t obsess over every little detail over at Tesla Motors, right? From the good to the bad and the in between , we like to know what’s going on with the company that brought electric car lust to the amsses. Today we got our invite to the March 26 unveiling of the Model S sedan , and it included the teaser image you see above. Sadly, the new pic tells us absolutely nothing more about the car, but at least we know the graphic designers have been keeping busy. 20 more days until we get to see the whole thing. Until then, we can go back and look at the first two teasers ( here and here ) and wait.

Leave a commentRendered speculation: Wired puts together the Tesla Model S
It’ll be another month before Tesla officially pulls the cover off the Model S, but Wired Had their in-house photoshopper Holl Liou take a crack at rendering the car. Tesla has sent out two teaser shots so far ( 1 , 2 ) and Liou has used the enhanced version of the most recent shot to provide a roof-line to the original image. The roof-line of the rendering is a no-brainer, the only real questions that remain are the tail and the front view of the nose. The other unknown, of course, is the battery configuration. We know the Model S is rear wheel drive with the motor at the back end. Will the battery be packaged under the floor? Under the hood in the front? Down the center tunnel? All will be revealed in a few weeks.

Tesla gives up on San Jose move

Guess what? It’s looking like it won’t happen . The problem, as you might expect, is money, and the fact that Tesla couldn’t raise enough money to finance the deal. Tesla spokesperson Rachel Konrad said that, “We abandoned that because the VC financing environment became so tight and difficult.” One problem with the previously-selected location is that it’s a greenfield site, where Tesla would build a totally new plant. With the low-interest loans that Tesla is applying for (about $400 million total, $250 million for the Model S plant and $150 million for a battery/powertrain facility), the government wants to see brownfield sites get developed. Konrad said that Tesla is looking to keep its headquarters in Silicon Valley and to search for a brownfield site where they can build the Model S. Plug-in aren’t dead in San Jose though. Recently, Coulomb Technologies installed EV charging stations in the city .
