7 Seats? In A Sedan? Teslas Flat-Pack Battery Model S (TCTV)

Tesla Model SRear-facing car seats used to come at the expense of the trunk. That's because a giant combustion engine had to go somewhere. But that was before Tesla invented the "Flat-Pack battery". Laid along the bottom of the car, the "Flat-Pack" lets Tesla's new Model S sedan keep the trunk while seating 7 and travelling up to 300 miles on a single charge. Oh, and it has a 3G 17-inch touchscreen computer for navigation, media, internet, and apps.The Model S won't be on the market until July 2012, but at last week'sGigaOm RoadMap conference I got to play around in an Alpha version shown off in this TCTV video.
