I didn't realise the Tesla was an aluminium (or, as the Americans would say, Aloominum) vehicle, like the A8/S8.
Found this new video interesting, posted on YouTube yesterday:
How it's Made - Dream Cars - Tesla Model S

Just goes to show how heavy those batteries must be: Lightweight aluminium body, no big heavy engine, smaller (presumably?) than an '8 and yet it weighs, what, something like 2.2 tons?
Imagine how much faster it will be when better battery technology brings lighter batteries!
