Tesla to produce new sedan in San Jose factory

Tesla is set to make a big splash with its introduction of a second car to their lineup - the Model S sedan. The plug in electric model will run on lithium-ion batteries and is said to have a range of 240 miles. If its anything like the critically acclaimed Roadster, it should have plenty of power. Arriving in late 2010, the sedan is set to have a price tag of $60,000, which is significantly cheaper than the Roadster.

The 89 acre facility should employ up to 1.000 green tech workers.

Smart move for Tesla. But I wonder if they are going to use a current chassis like the roadster does with the Lotus. Anyone know yet?
