Tesla Roadster Production has Started

After developing a couple of dozen prototypes over the last 2 years and a previous production model last December, Tesla Motors officially started the production of their Roadster on 17th March.

The people at Lotus Factory in Hethen England have met that responsibility. Tesla plans to get started on its retail efforts, with both a Los Angeles location and a Menlo Park facility for sales and service for the 600 roadsters likely to be produced over the course of 2008. They are expecting production of 100 Roadsters each month.
