Good Green Cars · Tesla Model S Four-Door Sedan Likely in 2011: "Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk blogged last week about the latest member of his electric vehicle family: the Tesla Model S, a four-door sedan. The company has its collective fingers crossed that the U.S. Department of Energy will approve its $350 million loan to work on the new family-friendly car; if it all works out, production could begin in 2011.
Musk had a slew of good news to report, in addition to the high hopes he has for the Model S:
* The faster, performance-tuned Roadster Sport will be available in June 2009
* Two new sales and service locations will open in Chicago and London, with more in the pipeline
* The company is expected to turn a profit by mid-year (but who knows how many high-level personnel changes there’ll be in the meantime)
* He reiterated that Tesla has partnered with Daimler to supply the batteries and chargers for the electric Smart car"
