Tesla Motors announced that it is now offering financing on its electric roadster through Bank of America.
Ahh...the dream of electric motoring has finally arrived for the average American.
Well, not exactly. According to Tesla's own release, a customer who qualifies for a 5-year loan would have monthly payments of $1,700, provided that customer can also put down a $20,000 deposit. So, yeah, forget it.

Tesla is moving forward with electric vehicles for the "masses" while the not so big 3 drag their feet. Isnt that how the story goes? No car company with 500 sales has ever gotten as much media love as Tesla. Until they sell more than 10k cars they shouldn't even be mentioned. Ferrari sells more cars in the US than Tesla. On 20/20 they actually interviewed the CEO in a piece about GM so he could tell America how he offered his unprofitable ideas to Detroit and they werent receptive. They probbaly werent because the market for $100k electric roadsters is pretty small.
