Maybe it looks like this (from Tesla Forum link above):chris1howell said:Oh also the charge port and charger don't look the same shape and size at the J1772 type the leaf uses. Ill post pictures of those tomorrow when I can get to a laptop.
Model S will come with UMC for 110 & 220. Adapter for Roadster owners.
Model S HVAC has more powerful compressor than Roadster. Should perform better in very high temps.
IPhone app to pre-heat Model S? Should be coming.
Sport option 0-60 in 4.4 seconds
Interchangeable batteries=no more range anxiety? Future possibility.
Unbelievable Tesla factory. The future will be parked in your garage pretty soon.
UMC charger is 40 amps. New HPC is also available. Roadster owners likely to have 2 different chargers. Adaptors to be available though.
Chargeport door opens automatically when charge plug approaches car. Otherwise open from touchscreen in car. J1772 adaptor available.
GreenCarReports.comWhen the batteries are depleted, Tesla says even the 300-mile range Model S will be able to recharge from full to empty in under an hour thanks to its new direct current external charger. The 90 kilowatt units will be installed by Tesla at suitable rest-stop locations or hotels alongside arterial freeways such as I-5 between Canada and Mexico.
On-board AC charging will be dealt with through either a single 10 kilowatt charger or two 10 kilowatt chargers. Tesla says the two options were developed after it realized that many of its existing Tesla Roadster customers did not use the full capability of its 17 kilowatt on-board charger, recharging instead at a more sedate 7 kilowatts or less.

She replied asking why we didn't just wait for it then.
Women just don't understand boys and toys do they...?
JustinC said:I really want a Model S to be my next electric car, but I don't know if I will be able to afford one any time soon. To justify the upgrade from the Leaf, I would need the long range model so it could be a weekend road tripper, but then you start pushing $80K. And I don't have $5000 laying around that I can put as a long term deposit.
It's just hard to justify paying over $50K for any car, let alone a car that has limitations.

Who here thinks, S will be released on time ?
