Electric-car company Tesla introduced us to its newest model earlier today in Southern California.

The Tesla Model S sedan has been designed to be one of the more affordable vehicles in the Tesla Motors lineup.  The ticket price is a mere $50,000.  Compared to the Tesla Roadster, which check in at over $100,000, the Tesla Model S is a bargain.  The car should hit the market in 2011.

A few highlights:

  • The car features 3G connectivity along with a computer and 17-inch monitor in the center console.
  • The car has three different removable battery packs.  Each one will carry you a different distance.  There is a 160-mile version and a 300-mile version.  A partial charge of the battery could take just 45 minutes.
  • The Tesla Model S will seats five adults with 2 rear-facing seats in the back.

Here are a few photos to whet your appetite a little more:
