Tesla production set for March

Production set for March 17

Sure Tesla has undergone delays and transmission problems, but the $100,000 Roadster is finally becoming a a real-world reality.

Still, don't get too excited, it's going to take some time to get more than a couple dozen vehicles on the road. To start, Tesla plans to produce about 1 car per week as the company figures it out the production process. By the end of 2008, the automaker could be churning out 40 cars per week.

Unfortunately, due to those transmission bugs, the vehicle won't quite live up to initial specs. Still, the Volt will buzz from 0 t 60 in about 6 seconds.

Let's hope they keep the ball rolling.
