Re: Tesla's cabriolet, crossover plans

i read a report (guardian or telegraph, forgotten which one) yesterday that tesla is effectively bankrupt, and relying on the stock market flotation to raise some cash. however we'll see how long it lasts after the initial offering. another case of don't believe the hype. aimed mainly at eco-celebrities it has a pretty small market, especially when mainstream manufacturers are now bringing out there own hybrid sports cars.
