Tesla Shows It All (http://www.valuewalk.com/2014/08/tesla-to-release-model-r-in-2017/)| (Brendan Byrne) Interesting "leak" to a German auto magazine, Autobild, via Tesla Chief Designer, Franz Von Hohlhausen. According to Hohlhausen, "a new Roadster to the '3rd generation' platform is to show what Tesla is able" in 2017. Brilliant move, why? Big profit margins on high-end luxury electric vehicles, where some analysts thought Tesla could set up shop a couple of years ago. Here's the link to the Autobild (http://www.autobild.de/artikel/tesla-vier-neue-modelle-bis-2018-5233127.html)article (if you have Chrome, it will translate to English).
Inside the July 2014 Sales Numbers for Nissan (http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-july-2014-sales/) | (Jay Cole) GM should take note as Nissan's leadership strategy has been paying off since last year, when they introduced the pilot program, "No charge for charge" in Texas. Read "Will Nissan's No Charge to Charge Program Drive Leaf Sales? (http://chargedevs.com/features/will-nissans-no-charge-to-charge-program-drive-leaf-sales/)" at Charged EVs. Hats off and hope to see Nissan at our National Drive Electric Week (https://driveelectricweek.org/events-list.php) in Naperville, IL.
