Tesla's plan is to have plenty of retail presence by 2009 as this is when their sedan, code-named WhiteStar, is expected to arrive. Tesla anticipates selling 1,200 $92,000 roadsters per year. So far, about 400 have been pre-sold.
The EV Roadster will be assembled by engineering partner Lotus Cars in England until a proposed New Mexico plant is built.
