Last night, I had the privilege of being among the first to see the Tesla Model X. The event was as exciting as one could expect from a new Tesla vehicle reveal. The anticipation was invigorating, the buzz was motivating, and the actual viewing of the Model X was mesmerizing. This was no regular evening. After all, we were all there to watch Tesla Motors once again show us a glimpse of the future while we all again became part of another historically significant event. more...
Did I really just buy a car online?
Today, as I was driving, I realized that it had been exactly one month from the date that I put a deposit down on my Tesla Model S. My mind wandered off into the experience I had in ordering it. Tesla Motors has been showcasing the Tesla Model S from its website for some time now. From the website’s Design Studio, I was able to choose between a standard production model or a Signature model. more...
We think you can!
My Tesla Model S is almost free!
If I were to calculate this for 10 years, that would be $36,000 in gasoline! However, gas won’t always be around $4.00 per gallon. In fact, from what I read, analysts are predicting that gas will be double in price from what it is now by 2020. Ouch! more...
Think you can’t go far enough in an EV? Think again.
If you happen to be in a 2 or more car family and one of those cars happen to be a gasoline-powered vehicle, then make that your once-a-year long distance vacation vehicle. You can always rent a car too. Also consider, that over time charging stations that will appear in greater number throughout the nation, depending on where you live and you’ll be able to stop off to “refuel” your body, while your recharge your car.
If your commute is greater than the what a Model S offers you, well, then maybe an EV isn’t quite ready for you yet. But you can except that as battery technology evolves, we’ll be seeing EV vehicles with ranges of 500 and even 1000 miles arrive in the next few years.
Do you own a Tesla? Do you
have something to share?
We’d love to hear about it and post it. Please email us.

MISSION STATEMENT
At Teslarumors.com, our goal is to create awareness of the potential of Electric Vehicles and particularly around those created by Tesla Motors. This is because we find Tesla Motors to be the first EV car manufacturer to not make design sacrifices. Finally we can have a zero-emission car that is for the environmentally conscious, that is economically sound, and is one that people actually want instead of having to settle for. Together we wish to share information, ideas, thoughts, excitement and speculation about what we believe to be the next big thing.
Thank you Tesla Motors for showing the world that a car with a better fuel solution is possible today. We look forward to watching you change the world.
The average residential cost for electricity varies somewhat throughout the states, and varies greatly particularly in Hawaii where the costs is 37.53 cents per KWH. That cost is almost 2-1/2 times higher than the 15.27 cents per KWH price in California; not that California is not a bargain state when it comes to residential electricity costs. The real bargains are in states like Idaho and more...

The Signature Tesla Model S has a $3,550 Price Premium
For those of you who have fronted the $40k for the Signature version, you no longer have to wonder if was the right choice after all, and those who were on the fence can now decide whether or not you will stay put or join the bandwagon and upgrade to a Signature Model S. The Signature version does include all the bells and whistles, however, if you don’t opt for some of the more expensive options like the signature-red or pearl-white paint, or choose the 19” wheels instead of the 21” performance wheels, there doesn’t appear to be any credit more...
With every revolution, there is change. After all, one of the definitions of "revolution" is exactly that, "change", or to be more precise per dictionary.com, "a sudden, complete or marked change in something." As we embark on a revolution in personal transportation, we are learning about these changes as they surface. We already know that we won't be able to fully refuel our EV's within minutes like we do with our gasoline-fueled vehicles, but in exchange, we'll have the benefit of waking up to a fully-fueled(charged) vehicle that was fueled from the comfort of our homes while we sleep more...

Tesla Reinvents the Car Buying Experience
On Monday, November 21st, I had the good fortune of being able to visit one of Tesla’s new dealerships. This, like other of these Tesla Motors retail locations have been placed in shopping malls! This one is located in the Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, California; just a 1-1/2 hour drive away from my home in Los Angeles.
As I drove there I thought, should I be calling this a dealership? Isn’t a dealership a place where car dealers sell cars? In the case of Tesla Motors, they are selling their cars directly; more...

S Options & Pricing Observations
On Dec 20, 2011, Tesla Motors released their list of options and pricing for the Model S. It was exciting and at the same time it was a reality check for many of us. The total cost that you thought you might spend on a Model S probably went up for many of us, especially since those who were considering a 160 mile 40kwh battery, may be reconsidering and now opting for a 230 mile 60kwh battery. more...
