Thanks to an invitation from one of our early investors, I found myself spending Presidents Day at a round-table luncheon with former President Bill Clinton with a Sterling Silver Tesla Roadster Parked directly behind us. The round-table luncheon took place in Burbank, Calif., at the only LEED platinum-certified airplane hangar in the world.
The moderator was environmentalist, entrepreneur and best selling author Paul Hawken, who co-founded the Smith & Hawken garden supply company in the late 1970s, among other successful companies. Guests included state representatives, local mayors, green-tech business pioneers, environmentalists and journalists. Shangri La Industries hosted the event, whose purpose was to promote the idea that clean technology and “green collar” jobs could kick-start our sputtering economy.
President Clinton focused on what he’s been doing for nearly 30 years – encouraging politicians, business executives and consumers that green products and green public policy are good for the economy *and* the environment. “If the world decides tomorrow to change the way it uses energy, it would create more jobs in more places than anywhere in human history,” he said.
He certainly didn’t have to persuade me. I joined Tesla precisely because the company is a pioneer in defining the new green economy. Tesla represents a crusade to shift the misguided yet ubiquitous mindset that “green” equals sacrifice. Anyone who has driven a Roadster knows that the car is miles ahead of comparably priced internal combustion cars – yet it burns no oil, produces no tailpipe emissions and is at least twice as efficient as a Toyota Prius hybrid.
President Clinton spoke eloquently of how responsible businesses must use technology to save both the economy and the environment. He even singled out Tesla – several times, in fact — as a shining example of the green tech movement. Tesla, he said, enables people to upgrade their lifestyle but reduce their carbon footprint. I was very proud to say the least!
During lunch, President Clinton announced he was eager to take the Roadster for a ride around the block. After the event, while others crowded around to take photos, I handed the keys to America’s 42nd president and urged him to join other world leaders in test-driving the coolest car on the planet. Unfortunately, at that very moment the secret service told him he had to depart.
I do, however, have a feeling President Clinton will be taking us up on our open invitation!

“He even singled out Tesla – several times, in fact — as a shining example of the green tech movement.”
Well, that could be because the car is *right there.*
I had no idea that Tesla had blogs. This is awesome!
It is good that the Tesla Roadster is making such a dramatic impact on perceptions / policy. I couldn’t have guessed the extent to which both the Tesla Roadster and the Chevy Volt have been mentioned specifically by both current and former Presidents.
Albert, same here!
As for the article, reminds me of parents being killjoys. You can tell by the expression on his face, Clinton is thinking “can I drive it now? can I drive it now?”, only to be pulled away by the secret service :p. I’m sure he’ll get his turn.
I know I can’t wait for mine.
What would be the marketing benefit , for Tesla to hold the land speed record?
“Inverted Compression”
Re: Good news come in threes?
1 The Roadster is now available in Canada as of today
2 The Canadian bank rate dropped 0.5% to an all time low (also today)
3 Time to buy a “649″ lottery ticket methinks.

Could a power unit of the tesla design replace the engines we have in our cars now? My next question is if we were to replace all of the power units in the cars running today could the cost be brought down to a point that the common man could afford to drive the car. We are the people that need to be driving these power units. Ford made it possible for everyone to have a car can you? Please try so I can drive green
Tesla Motors and the Tesla Roadster are a lifelong dream of mine come true. Green technology, serious performance, competitive price, and a killer product. What the hell do you want??!!
Of course, I immediately sent in a resume and job application to work with this team. This is the future, this is the way, and it’s right here, right now, today. This is IT guys, this is IT. if you ever wondered if there was a future to electric vehicles or green technologies, this one car says it all. Yes, you CAN have your cake and eat it.
Hats off to Tesla Motors, you guys rock!
Much love,

I don’t know if this has been brought up before, or much about the practicality when it comes down to profits, but (and i didn’t know where else to put this so I just put it here) I was wondering if Tesla ever plans on making en electric riding mower. Lawn mowers pollute so much more then cars per mile, and there are no good options for a low emissions riding lawn mower that I know of. I know where I live (New England) people are religious about keeping their lawns mowed, and I would think there would be a large market here, especially considering how much quieter it would be (tho not as silent as an electric car of course due to the blades) This just strikes me as something that needs to go hand in hand with the transition to electric cars.
GM and Chrysler requested 21 Billion Dollars in loans from the US government !
If Tesla Motors had that kind of funding available we would all be driving a Tesla !
Thats a nice thought isn’t it !
P.S. the Chevy Volt is rubbish, If you want to drive more than 40 miles then you would still have to burn petrol. . . . . . . . DO’H

I look forward to a plug in hybrid. (Or better range/faster recharge in the BEV)
I drive only about 30 miles a week on average for work, so could plug in every Sunday and never use gas.
However I also volunteer at a YMCA camp and drive the 268 miles one way about 12-16 times a year.
I don’t want two vehicles.

Fine copy, awesome pictures. Great work, Jeremy!
Hey Rick;
Give it time. The next Gen battery Tesla is dropping in will increase your range about 40% (244 - 341 miles). Although still insufficient - only because the infrastructure to support a fuel station for electricity is currently unavailable - that holds great promise for the future.
In the labs there’s work on creating LiIon batteries using nano-technologies. Indication is that this will increase the battery capacity by a factor of 10. If that eventually makes it to the consumer (and I have no doubt it will if the lab work was honestly reported) then you’ve got an increase from 244 to 2440 miles for the same size battery.
As it’s still in the lab, we probably won’t see it for 10 or 15 years….. unless many more electric vehicle manufacturers produce a greater need. But the future holds great promise for battery operated vehicles…. not to mention battery operated devices in general. Imagine having a small button cell batter in your cell phone you only need to charge once a year… wow!
Roger, that 10 times more is just beginning. We already know that about five times better batteries have been tested in labs, and nanotech is promising 10 times better than current, but that is nowhere close to theoretical limit of lithium-ion batteries.
Because there already has been full battery tested (LiFePO4-Si) with capacity about 450 Wh/kg it won’t be long before it hits the market. Batteries are not wanted only by EV industry but also laptop computers, power tools etc. Everybody that needs portable energy source needs better batteries. That means that every battery manufacturer are trying to get them in market as soon as possible.
450Wh/kg would mean about 4 times better range which gives Roadster ~1000mile range. That is overkill, you need only about 600mile range (10 hour drive with 60mph average speed), so you can make battery pack 60% of weight, which in turn increases range and performance. Current Roadster ESS weights about 450kg, so 60% of that is 270kg. Not too much. I bet that at that point battery+engine weights less and takes less space than similar performance ICE engine+transmission+full fuel tank.
I think 600mile range is the breakpoint that makes ICE finally utterly and totally obsolete. Even with slow 400V/100A standard three-phase connector charging (I bet any roadside restaurant has one) you could drive 8 hours and take a hour lunchbreak charging you manage to get 40kWh more which would give you about 200 mile more range. That’s 800 mile range and about 14 hours of driving (including that break). More than enough for pretty much anybody anywhere.
>> … that 10 times more is just beginning…
>> … nowhere close to theoretical limit of lithium-ion batteries …
That would be exactly why I’m so excited by electrical energy and the advancement of battery technology. 1000 mile range may sound like over-kill but put that car into Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and start adding in the heating requirements, stereo systems, decrease in energy flow at -35 celsius, etc.
Ultimately, the battery size may be preferable (depending where your location is) to stay where it is with the greater storage of energy.
I agree that it’s not just vehicles. Imagine dropping one of the Tesla’s battery packs in your home storing the energy produced from your solar array. If the average household utilizes 600 KwHrs of electricity per month (avg), then the household would require 19.7 KwHrs of electricity to cover household needs for 1 day. The current Tesla battery stores 52 KwHrs of energy. That works out to approx. 2.5 days of electricity. If memory serves correct, when the power went out in Ontario due to a freeze period, I believe it was down for about 2 weeks. So… if you wanted enough energy (not counting the sun considering it can be easily overcast for a 2 week period) to comfortably last through such a period, you’d need roughly 5 current battery packs. However, with the next generation you’d only require 4 battery packs (equivalent size of course).
With the 10x factor, a single equivalent size Tesla battery pack would provide you with 26 days of energy storage…..
The possibilities of the freedom solar energy + advanced battery technology provide are incredibly sweet
Re: Fast charging bateries
Looks like MIT has done it again!
If it is true then the all electric vehicle is about to really take off.

Timo, 450 watthours per Kg is great, but we could see even higher energy density in the future. Zinc/air and Aluminum/air cells could get 500 to 800 watthours per Kg, if certain technical problems can be solved, and Lithium/air cells, once perfected, could get 1,000 to 3,000 watthours per Kg! That would mean an EV power plant lighter than the equivalent IC engine and gas tank!
As I mentioned in the Engineering blog, there is new MIT work on creating ’smooth’ charge-discharge channels within the LiIon batteries that permit charging and discharging in seconds, with very little heat buildup, by reducing ‘friction’ of the current flow (my terminology). Fairly easy tech, likely available in a couple of years.
CM: theoretical limit for Lithium-Air is 11kWh/kg. Much lighter than IC engine and gas tank
What? You make a very expensive all electric high end sports car and you want taxpayer money to fund it? Are you kidding? Why didn’t you create something along the lines of an electric small economy car, one that many more people could buy?
‘Grats Tesla on the gorgeous Model S! Chevy et al will have one hell of a time coming close to that.
To whom this may concern,
My name is Stoian Kalniev. I have traveled all over the world and have family members working for the UN on sustainability and environmental projects. I have sent an e-mail to Tesla some months ago, but never received a reply.
Because of my family, we are very knowledgeable about “green tech”, and currently I live in Thailand. The Asian market is the one that is expanding very rapidly and welcomes current and new car makers into the market, with promise of profits (i.e. India, China, Japan being a car lover country, etc.). However, these countries really need to see the benefits of both Tesla models. I have been going around import companies and asking them if they know about electric cars and they look very puzzled.
You must enter this market if you want to finish your financial debts, reduce costs to make the vehicles cheaper
and make your product awareness and eventually conquer the vehicle industry. I also know that you get your batteries (maybe most of them) from the Thai market. If you open a factory here, you will drastically reduce your costs, allowing for a broader consumer range.
There are more reasons for me to explain why you should enter this market. Please reply to me to know if this plan is sound, so that I may build my confidence of one day seeing a Tesla (the sweetest, hottest, most useful car on earth) with my own 2 eyes on these roads.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon
It’s more a question than a comment.
Can you telle me when the Tesla vehicles, particularly the «Model S», will be available in Canada, actually Quebec ?
You know that the sales numbers fot the Prius is excellent.
I ready to change my car and Iwouls certainly bue the «Model S» if or when it will be available here.
If you don’t care for Quebec, can I stll buy it in the States ansd bring it here ?
If I do so, who can service it ?
I’am anxiously waiting for your answers.
Thank you !
Dan, the Chevy Volt is rubbish because it´s not even for sale right now. That´s the main problem.
Michael Laurence: Tesla has started taking orders for Canada for their Roadster, with deliveries to start later. The Model S is still under development, and production facilities have to be set up first, so it won’t be available for delivery until late 2011 or 2012, and there is the possibility of unexpected problems cropping up and delaying it a year or two.
My suggestion is to be patient and start saving up now, so you’ll be ready to buy with Tesla is ready to sell!
This is amazing Guys.
Nice peace of Work, I´m agree…….. this is what the customers was waiting for… efficiency and electric cars can´t be so ugly ?(this question became everytime somebody came up with a new Electric o Hibric car) .You guys demostrate that desing and performance for this vehicles can be as much as Sexy than a Ferrary.
I will like to help you guys….will send you my resume soon…bydeway I´m in Europe…and from the sunny country Spain…please tell me if I can help to “spread the word´´ of this wonderfull´s machines…
Can´t wait to drive one!!
Suerte!

I have been following Tesla for 3 years. I hope the best for the company, and I am optimistic.
BUT ELON MUSK NEEDS TO GET HIS BUTT IN GEAR.
Detroit Electric will be marketing AND selling a full line of EVs NEXT year, and they are priced at about $25K and the design is pretty sharp. The Model S is beautiful and my hat’s off to all of you who have been working hard.

Go get’em Tesla!!!!
will Tesla join any races?
I would rather be the cleaner at Tesla than the CEO of GM.
Perhaps a position in the London showroom this summer, gain experience and then manage the opening of the second UK showroom.
A few years down the line CEO of European operations or cleaner, whatever.
How does the Lilon battery compare to the technology Exxon is talking about? They are coming out with new technology to make the lithium battery lighter and more efficent.
Dr.J. I’m pretty skeptical about that claim that Proton / Detroit Electric will be selling lots of EV:s early next year. AFAIK they don’t even have a working prototype yet. They do have working drivetrain, but that’s all they have. Maybe by 2012 they have, but not yet next year.
Engine Man, what technology Exxon is talking about? Can you give us a link?
Engine Man: Can you provide us with a link? I know a couple of years ago they announced a new separator film to improve Li-ion batteries, and about the same time so did Panasonic. This has contributed to about 25% improvement in energy as well as increasing safety, however this is not a “breakthrough” as dramatic as some other technologies. So far no information from Tesla on the battery technology used in the Model S.
is there a dealership in woodbridge ontario…if not why …..and what will it take to start talks with telsa ……for woodbridge is were there are more ferarri’s than any other place in canada……i like the telsa …is it possible to have a dealership here in woodbridge ontario , canada …..let me know ……from mario a colucci

Possibly, 300,000 units the year following! Bob
Roy;
Not sure about the Exxon deal, but MIT has come up with a quick way of altering the charge transport channels inside the LiIon batteries to make them hugely more efficient. The battery could charge in seconds, have longer lifetime, higher capacity, and be far less vulnerable to overheating or other problems. It should be an easy 1-2 year project to upgrade existing manufacturing processes to accommodate this. Also, Stanford has new cathode nano-designs which could increase capacity by 10X. All in all, we are looking at cars with 2000 mile ranges and able to take charge as fast as a hi-voltage line can deliver it (almost) in the medium (5-yr) future.
Brian H. that new charge transport channels don’t increase battery capacity, they just make it possible to have both, high energy density and extremely high power density. I did read the article from Nature and they can get (if I recall correctly) about 175kW/kg power density from 60mAh/g battery. 60mAh/g isn’t that much, but with that power density it allows small batteries to be used for high power for short time.
Drag racing anybody? 50kg battery could give out 8750kW or 11896HP IE nitrodragster-class powers, and that 50kg with 60mAh/g with lets say 3V is 180Wh/kg or 9kWh battery that lasts 3.7 seconds with that power. Needs a bit bigger battery to last one run. Or not. With that power. I REALLY REALLY would like to see EV beat nitrodragster
De sherbrooke canada. j,aimerai savoir comment vaux une concession tesla motor.merci
I wonder to know is it possible to byu Tesla products if Im at the territory of Russia? If yes, what is the period of delivery?
Thought this might be of interest, another MIT discovery. www.gizmag.com/lithium-ion-battery-breakthrough-mit/11244/
This would make li-ion batteries on par with ultra capacitors with charging in a matter of seconds. And the good news is that it should be available in only a couple years!
You know, there are still so many misconceptions about electric cars out there: they’re ugly, they need to be plugged in three times a day, that they aren’t safe, or that they are underpowered. I think it would be a very smart marketing move for Tesla to showcase the Roadster and Model S at small cities (around 100K) in North America. We all know that cars are an issue of the heart as much as anything else. If Tesla can win the hearts of people outside the major population centres of Canada and America, Tesla will be well-positioned for the future indeed. Sure, at these showcases you might not get a lot of sales at the moment, but a huge amount of buzz would be created as people begin to see that electric cars can be everything they want them to be, and in the future, when Tesla markets cars are a little more affordable to the average individual, you would see a lot of sales.
I don’t believe that this would be so difficult or so expensive to implement. I’m sure that there are many owners, future owners, and someday-in-the-future owners of Teslas would be willing to either showcase their car on a voluntary basis. I know I would (hint, hint).
Also, the hypocrisy of having a G4 in “the LEED certified hangar” is just too much to stomach! That’s a 900 gallon per hour jet spewing out more toxic Jet-A fumes in a trip from Van Nuys to NYC than 100 Priuses do in a year of driving!
Why would Tesla want to put a pic of its car in front of arguably the most wasteful vehicle ever made? Especially when the plane is carrying one or two people and flies 1000 miles or less.
Come the the UK and talk to Gordon Brown… There has never been a better time. The exchange rate is not in you favour for imports, but the base rate (0.5%) really is… Also Mr B could really do with some sexing up right now and this would give his interest/investment in electric/hybrids a really fillip.
I am in education and would love to develop curriculum materials based on your cars… There is hue scope - All three sciences - Manufacturing and Product Design - Maths - Citizenship - Health and Environment. I can see a fantastic cross-curricular project parhaps building a model using a moblie phone battery… Can that be done? Not sure about the output to drive motors… Great social/community marketing oportunity I reckon…
Marketing is picking up in Europe! Thank you for the excellent presentation of the Tesla Roadster in Zurich over the last days. I was taken for a spectacular drive on April 23 over the small countryside roads near the Hotel Dolder. Thank you also for the most informative discussions on the terrace where some very interesting people had gathered. I left some comments on a German EV-site (in German here: www.wattgehtab.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=305 ).

It’s rather amazing how fast the S orders are piling up! In a couple of weeks the total ordered almost equals Roadster orders to date (900 vs 1300 or so? ) . Better get on the stick with establishing the assembly plant! I hope the totally screwed up financial politics of California don’t end up throwing a wrench into things. The signs aren’t good, so far.
Now that part of GM is up for grabs, electrafying the Solstice or Sky. Then they would be affordable for the masses.
Since I’m not in the US, I can’t abuse the Dept. of Energy here: www1.eere.energy.gov/informationcenter/#submission_form for having no mention of Tesla in its Electric Vehicle section. It’s limited to NEVs, scooters, and motorcycles. Blech. Give ‘em hell!
I don’t see anywhere on the website for asking questions if you’re not a member of the press or able to purchase a vehicle. So, I figured I’d leave one here. I love the idea of electric cars and am so glad to see that someone is doing something about it (especially after the GM EV1 fiasco). I’m a grad student and won’t be buying any kind of car until I’m finished (and won’t buy anything other than a zero emission vehicle when I’m finally able to). What I’d like to know is whether there will be any lower end cars produced by this company that still have the range and top speed of the sedan class Tesla. In order for us to win the fight against big corporate polluters we need to have ‘green’ technology available to the majority for a similar range of prices or it’s all going to fail. Understandably it’s going to cost a bit more for new technology (and considering the savings of driving electric a bit more cost is well worth it), but when is there going to be a model available for the 15-20 000 price range?
I was disappointed by my trip into NYC to see the Model S on Friday May 1st. The event was to have gone until 9pm and by the time we got there at 7 the car was being loaded up and it was only a shell not a prototype. In fact, we were hoping to leave a deposit but there was no one there taking them.
This purchase is a particularly emotional one as you’ll see from the following link. We had settled on the Model S to accommodate our son Alexander. However he passed away four months ago but we want to move forward with buying the car.
I just wish the event had been a bit more firm in its plans.
alexandersmommy.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/may-3-alexanders-2nd-birthday/#comments
I plunked down a deposit for a Model S reservation last month, so I will be following the progress with keen interest. I am keeping a twitter blog on my observations as a prospective Tesla owner: twitter.com/teslablogger
Chris: It’s perfectly all right to ask questions in the blog section, although there is no guarantee that the question will be answered.
The Tesla “secret plan” is to start with limited production of a high end high profit margin $100K sports car, then use the expertise and money earned from that first car to build a bigger factory to produce a larger quantity of the 2nd model, the $50K Model S sedan, then use the expertise and money earned to expand production and produce a 3rd model, a $30K compact
No word yet on when a model in your price range will be made, but who knows, maybe you’ll get a big windfall and will be able to afford the 3rd model, or even the Model S.
I just saw a story about Telsa Roadster on Dateline MSNBC. I am very interested in wondering if Telsa Motors is a corporation that sells shares of its company on the NYSE? I was hoping that anyone with any information regarding if Telsa Motors does, or does not, have shares of their company ready to buy, if they would comment on this blog. Thank you very much.
IS TESLA MOTORS LISTED IN THE STOCK MARKET? IF SO WHERE AND WHAT’S THE SYMBOL.
THANKS
AFAIK, there is no public listing; TeslaMotors is still private. There is talk of an IPO.
Tesla has no public stock listed. The do plan to issue an IPO, but I have no idea when.
I was curious about the size of the world market. About 50,000 sports cars a year over $100k? If I am right that means that Tesla will have about 2% of the market this year. Since all of this year’s customers can be classified as “early adopters”, I think Tesla can expect significant increase in demand as most potential customers would prefer to purchase from a local dealer (i.e. within several hundred miles) and buy a proven product, (i.e. good reviews, proven reliability, happy customers). Tesla is gaining an excellent reputation and I think their sales will expand about as fast as their dealer network.
Well today I think we just saw part of Tesla’s new market plan. Welcome to you Mercedes-Benz Tesla dealer. Yes: that’s right Daimler AG has acquired an equity stake of nearly 10 percent of Tesla Motors. While this partnership would give Tesla insight to mass production I wounder if the gas guzzlers at Daimler will try to influence the path that Tesla has made to stay away from oil use. All I ask from Tesla is to continue on the road to making BEV affordable are sporty such as with the model S. If you compare the two companies EV cars side by side one belongs on the road the other belongs in the circus. Can you guess which is which?
Now that California is no longer rating car fuel types as ‘E’ for electric; will Tesla cars be using the ‘Q’ for hybrids and others?
Joshua,
Have no fear, Daimler does not want to put gas motors in Tesla cars. Daimler wants to put Tesla motors in their cars. Tesla motors have the highest power to weight of any electric motor in the world. Mercedes-Benz announced about a year ago that by 2015 they would stop making gas or diesel powered cars. They are on a fast track to change over to electric. Initially they will use Tesla’s batteries but as time goes on they may decide on other batteries, but this decision allows them to speed their change to electric.
Hi,
What’s the policy on test driving on of these at a dealership?
Thanks,
Vik
This is just wrong. Super cars shouldn’t be whipped so severely =:-)
Especially not in public.

Go Tesla!
I’ve been following Tesla’s development in the news, and I’m convinced that you will soon own and be the American auto industry. In the time it took Chevy to take the Volt from concept car to ever-delayed vaporware, you’ve gone from an idea to a full-blown manufacturer. While the Artists Formerly Known as the Big Three have complained about what can’t be done, you’ve taken seemingly impossible goals and done them. You are the American spirit, and people like you will be the ones to deliver us through the challenges of the 21st century while delivering on the high-tech promises of our more optimistic science fiction novels. I’m looking forward to your IPO, because I want stock. I can’t wait until you have a store in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. And, while the Roadster is a bit above what I can afford today, the Model S looks to be priced to compete with cars like the Lexus GS450h, a car I have actually considered buying not too long ago. I’m also glad to hear that you’re working with Daimler, as my wife and I love our smart car but would love even more an all-electric version. I look forward to being a Tesla Motors customer.
That Tesla pic with the plane in the background is awesome. Great Article, hopefully momentum starts to build and that mindset of green equals sacrifice starts to shift. IMO it would be made loads easier, and we would see results much quicker if their were more businesses out in front leading the way like Tesla. Clinton is correct that business has a responsability, a huge responsability to not only us here and now, but for future generations. Great work Tesla!
Tesla are awesome i wana test drive it does it available in India also?
We’ve been watching this up and coming beauty for some time now. Being in the motors industry, new concepts and ideas on making our planet cleaner are always exciting. I like the Telsa vehicle so much because it combines power, sleek sporty design, and a greener engine that you won’t find in other eco friendly engines. I am excited about all the new eco friendly vehicles, but Telsa raised the bar by offering a vehicle that not only is safer for the environment, but it’s also a head-turner.
I’m anxious to see where Telsa is going to take this incredible vision. We need more manufacturers to jump on board and start moving in the direction that Telsa motors is moving.
Thank you for your resource .. great site!
