    1328905920

    With the demise of the Lotus Elise in the United States, the Tesla Roadster's fate was sealed.

    Report: Tesla Model X will be very quick, very roomy and revealed Feb 9
    1325874540

    Back in October, AutoblogGreen reported that the all-electric crossover from Tesla, the Model X, would be revealed ahead of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show? Well, scratch that. That information was, apparently, inaccurate. Dubitable. Counterfactual even. Instead, it seems that February 9 marks the day the X is to be spotted. The news comes courtesy of the ...

    Report: Bob Lutz: "I honestly think Tesla's going to make it."
    1321050720

    Back around 2006, GM's Bob Lutz was spurred to action by Tesla Motors.
