You guys are acting like this post is news, including the author. I've known about the existence of Whitestar and the ~$50,000 pricetag for about a year now. Its been reported on Tesla's site and various car/technology blogs.
It's just news that they are pursuing independent funding to the tune of 250 million and not partnering with a bigger automobile manufacterer. They were considering doing it in a partnership but they felt it might compromise some of their proprietary tech so they decided to do it independently. Their next car, the $30k Bluestar might be a partnership.
Well, it seemed to me as if the author attempted to pawn off old news as new news, alongside the new information regarding the $250 million funding. I simply objected to that, given that the incredible hype attached to Tesla Motors makes news of the Whitestar old hat to most readers.
