Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com, has somehow managed to get a hold of three photos of the upcoming Tesla Model S hours ahead of what was supposed to be the automaker's grand unveiling, Autoblog reports.
There's no other word for it: the car looks great. While there's more than a hint of Jaguar and Aston Martin in the lines, as the article put it, Tesla clearly chose some good influences for the car's styling. There's also a shot of what appears to be an unfinished example of the interior, complete with the largest LCD screen I've ever seen in a center console. The center console appears to consist of the screen.
Tesla has already announced that the all-electric Model S will cost $57,400—with a $7,500 federal tax credit, that means they'll go out the door for under $50k, at least as a base price. That's also roughly half of what the Roadster is currently selling for. (More pics after the break.)

I do believe Detroit is now going to have to compete for the new consumer dollar. Tesla couldn't have brought their product(s) to market at a better time, I wish them the very best of success.
