Tesla Motors unveiled its highly-anticipated new electric car this week. The Model S sedan received rave reviews for its cool look. It's scheduled for delivery in late 2011. Tesla says the seven-seater sedan will be able to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds, before topping out at more than 130 mph. It comes standard with a battery pack that will take the car 160 miles on one charge. The company says each battery pack should last at least seven years. The base model will run $57,400, but Tesla says that a federal tax credit can shave $7,500 from the bottom line.
