FYI, Tesla doesn't even have a group of proper chassis engineer or industrialization plan in place for this vehicle yet....Our manager was approached by them to head up a chassis R&D group for them to relocate to California(where they plan to have their operation, Santa Barbara I think it is). Seeing the amount of knowhow and expertise available at Detroit area, and the much lower cost of living, you'd think they would have the foresight to move here....
Again I question the wisdom in seeing Tesla has the goods to do this...just because they've built a 150K electric car doesn't mean they can do one mass produced for 50K...its like asking Rolls Royce to make a economy car...
