Tesla’s been showing off its Silicon Valley-bred saloon for months now, from the touchscreen-laden console to the mechanical bits beneath its shapely skin.

These beta versions are “over ninety percent” of what the production Model S will be, and after the test-drive, the chosen get to tour Tesla’s manufacturing facility. We plan on being there to put the new EV through its paces, so stay tuned for our impressions of the Model S this autumn.Take Tesla’s Model S for a spin this October, if you can get past the velvet rope originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:22:00 EDT.
