Tesla to unveil Model S

Electric supercar manufacturer, Telsa is to unveil its Model S prototype at its design studio in Southern California on March, 26.

Despite funding difficulties, Tesla says it also plans to open showroom/service centers in Chicago, Manhattan, Miami, Seattle, London and Munich by year’s end. Its four-door sedan, the Model S is expected to go on sale in 2011.

‘While we have had some cancellations due to buyers experiencing personal financial difficulties, new orders continue to flow in every week from the United States and Europe,’ Chief Executive Elon Musk wrote in a company newsletter.

Tesla is hoping to $350 million from the Department of Energy for the Model S to keep it on schedule. The car is expected to match the performance of the Roadster model which has a driving  range of 222 miles and a top speed of 125 mph.
