(12,041 posts)The Tesla Roadster cost $130k, the Model S they got down to $70K, the next generation of Tesla cars they are aiming for $35k, and they have made it clear they eventually want to get to a price that is more affordable for typical consumers.
They are also working on building charging stations around the world in which people can stop and recharge their vehicle in just 30 minutes at no cost. They already have built enough of these charging stations to allow people to drive up and down both coasts and across the US as long as you stick to the highways they have already developed the stations on. In the next two years they plan on adding hundreds more and as Teslas become more and more popular they will keep adding more and more of these charging stations every year.
Tesla is getting their start by aiming at the luxury car market, but they have a future plan that goes well beyond luxury vehicles and it won't be too many years before they are producing vehicles for the masses.
