Tesla Model S Receives 711 Pre-Orders in Two Weeks

Tesla Model S seems to be a car designed to record a high success from its very beginning as the manufacturer received more than 700 pre-orders in two weeks. And just imagine that the parent company did nothing more than to officially announce the car and unveil some new photos and technical details about it. The Carscoop editors write that the overall number of pre-orders is now totaling 711, up approximately 200 since one week ago when the company proudly announced that 500 people expressed their interest in buying the car.

“Frankly the number of cars reserved in the first week has exceeded our optimistic internal projections. Enthusiasm surrounding the Model S is proof that there’s pent-up demand for more affordable, fuel-efficient vehicles, including those made in America,” Elon Musk, Tesla CEO said in a release.

In case you're wondering what's so special about this car, find out that the all-electric sports sedan is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in no less than 5.6 seconds, while keeping fuel consumption and emissions down to 0. The maximum speed is electronically-limited to 120 mph (209 km/h).

The electric car manufacturer has quite high expectations from this particular model and explains that both the United States and Europe are projected to bring uprated figures when talking about Tesla S.

"We expect that Tesla sales will eventually be split evenly between the US and Europe," Musk stated last week when Tesla Motors announced its plans to open a new store in London in June. Other locations to host Tesla stores are Manhattan, Miami, Seattle and Washington, DC while in Europe Tesla is considering sites in Munich and Monaco.
