I’m signed up to purchase a Model S. When should I anticipate being able to choose options & delivery date? Thanks, D.R.

Excellent! Cant wait to get mine next year #3288. It will plug in nicely with the Solar Panels I installed last June. This Model S needs to be equipped with the J1772 charge point so it conforms with the all of the electric charge stations going in around Michigan. I be commuting over 500 miles per week, 214 round trip at $0.00 per/mile.

I have a cardiac pacemaker. Will the magnetic field produced by the electric motor affect performance of this life saving device?

electric cars have a big battery package , is it creating very big magnetic field ?
How this magnetic field may have impact on human body???

Great video! I really think that the open-ness Tesla has with their Model S is actually inspired by GM’s development process with the Volt but they are taking it to the next level with journalists allowed to walk the floor at the alpha stage. Bold moves but the right moves for a company as dependent on investors as they are. I’d like the think I can afford a Model S but the only “sensible” thing out there so far in my mind is the leaf. Can’t wait to see Tesla’s cheaper models!

@Steven, I know! Has to happen though, auto industry safety standards and all.

@Nick F, I was pretty excited about it! Not sure on the height of the battery box — it looked really flat. I think Jerome was driving the 300-mile range car.

This is exciting to see the “Model S” entering this phase of production. As an Aerospace engineer, I would like to the commend the Tesla organization for keeping everyone so well informed. Well done.
