My newspaper reports that Tesla has sold out their entire 2012 production of 6,500 Model S vehicles, according to CEO Elon Musk. He says that they are mostly new buyers, although 600 current owners of the Roadster have also ordered the Model S. Musk believes that Tesla will finally make a profit by 2013. Tesla's stock rose 3.9% to $29.87 at the close of the NYSE on Friday.
I figure that news really helps the EV industry as a whole. Where cars go, motorcycles will eventually follow - although in much smaller numbers, of course.
