Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently revealed his intentions to launch the Model S ahead of its initial schedule.
Accordingly, the company plans to begin initial deliveries in June - one month ahead of schedule. Later 5,000 Model S units will be delivered by the end of this year.
In an official press release, Tesla Motors said, "Dear Fellow Shareholders, we are pleased to report that we have nearly completed all regulatory approvals and certifications required to begin delivery of Model S to our customers in the United States. Thus, we anticipate that initial deliveries will begin in June, ahead of our announced schedule of July".
As a reminder, the Model S will be available at three power levels: 40 kWh, 60 kWh and 85 kWh. The top version can accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 4.4 seconds and has an extended range of 483 km. The base model will start at $ 57,000, but thanks to a $ 7,500 tax credit the total price will be lowered to just $ 49,500.
