Tesla Model S first teaser image

As previously reported, Tesla is working on an electric sedan known as the Model S (also previously reported the car is delayed into at least 2011). Now BusinessWeek got an interview with Tesla chairman Elon Musk, where he revealed the first teaser image of the future electric sedan.

Musk sees the Model S as direct competition to the mid-size luxury high-millage cars like the Lexus GS 450h hybrid and the diesel Mercedes E-class, as well as other electrics like the Chevrolet Volt. Of course Musk thinks the Tesla has the advantage. "Our sedan will crush everything out there."

Show us a little more, then we’ll make a decision.
