This is the fourth in a series of electric cars, and tesla motors company headquartered in the United States a priority. Click on these links 1, part 2 and part 3 or below.
Tesla CEO elon musk is not often to the Twitter, this is likely to be disappointed his 166000 + followers. But, when he was a man of enterprise groups often have some interesting to say, in the last Friday night, he did not disappoint.
@ joshj777 it has always been my dream, the production cost is low, striking electric vehicles. We are 3 to 4 years. Hope it could be sooner or later.

At tesla's message, until 2014, it had to delay x-shaped cross high heels, this isn't a huge surprise. So-called the third generation platform expected model X each subsequent tesla's comments, before its recently submitted to the securities and exchange commission in the file "years", so this is the same. But it is still a tease, it's not clear musk will provide more information. @ benmacy he would ask, however, musk, answer:
. @ benmacy's $30000 in 2013 (that is, the inflation rate) +, 200 + miles of w, we can't talk about some cool technology.

Wow, you what technology is it? There is a hint in the annual report of battery swap stations, a struggling electric car startup of Better Place. Isn't is? Or, perhaps a range extension technology, a Chevrolet Volt (even tesla said concepts such as in the past)? More likely, it's something more radical. We won't know for a long time, but we will know what is more, because of musk, talkative enough reply @ MichaelLindahl, there are some of the more interesting detail:
@ michaellindahl is less, it will be watt's function such as STD slightly smaller. Think the audi A4, BMW 3 series and model S S7 or M5

All of these together and you can't help but excited, because the electric car enthusiasts. First of all, let's talk about the price. A simplified BMW 3 series $32500 today. Tesla in talking about their "third series", started in less money (in today's dollars) - but was comparable to the luxury. In fact, $30000 will give you a well equipped Toyota camry and the reality, you will drive many of the audi and BMW dealer is less than about $40000. Tesla seems to have a similar section.
However, we are talking about what can be broadly described as "the masses" entry-level luxury car here. Camry, but due to the electric car to save operating costs, it is reasonable in comparison, and musk notes:
But when considering save the gas v electricity, the real cost and gasoline-powered cars more like $25000, AV and sweet

In addition to the 403000 Camry (Camry) last year, American consumers to buy the 331000 Honda accord, 241000 and 230000 hyundai sonata ford fusion, and so on - in other words, more than 1 million units. In entry-level luxury cars, the BMW 3 series sell very nearly 100000, 82000 C level of Mercedes, infiniti 60000 G, and 38000 audi A4S on hybrid. (all the properties by amazing site GoodCarBadCar).
Basically, tesla is a move from niche to mainstream, once you have a handle on the two key things: (1) (2) cheaper battery manufacturing industry in scale, with the feasibility of cheaper cars. These just took a huge step, the company announced that it has been ahead of the pace of manufacturing, it requires 20000 units in 2013, in order to achieve the production target. In fact, the company is run "weekly delivery of more than 500 model S".
In battery research is continuing, and looking for a breakthrough, tesla sounds confidence gradually progress, they have seen at least 200 + miles, enough to provide the most affordable vehicles, can make the mainstream of the electric car. In the next section, we will discuss about the development of the battery, and when and how the 500 - mile - long, affordable battery could become a reality.
