And folks in other threads complained that the Volt would be $40k. At least at $40k you get a useful vehicle that can be serviced nationwide and can actually travel nationwide. With the Tesla sedan you have something that's useful in and around town, but if you want to head out further you either have to stop every 200 miles or so and then charge for some unknown length of time or have a second gas-powered vehicle.
All I can say is: "Bah!"

I'll match your "Bah" and throw down a "Boo-Ha-Ha".
I found this tidbit at LeftLaneNews...

Tesla also announced that the Model S ‘multi-use sport sedan’ will have a range of 225 miles and retail from $60,000. A production date has not been set, but the Model S will likely see production in 2010, according to MotorAuthority.com.
Like the 2010 Chevrolet Volt, the Model S will be powered by an electric motor – believed to be powered by lithium-ion batteries – but will also carry a small internal combustion engine to recharge the batteries when needed.

You might be wrong on the range issue, but I find it funny how Tesla was going to show Detroit how to do things differently, and now it looks like they are copying them.
