"(FILES) This January 10, 2012  file photo shows the Tesla Model S electric car on display during the second press preview day at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Tesla Motors said May 22, 2012 it would begin deliveries of ""the world's first premium electric sedan"" on June 22, slightly ahead of schedule. Several customers will receive their cars that day at an invitation-only event at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California, said the company created in 2003 by Elon Musk, a co-founder of PayPal and SpaceX. The company, which already markets a sports car at more than $100,000, will be launching the Model S, starting at $49,900, which is described as ""the first premium sedan designed from the ground up to take full advantage of electric vehicle architecture.""
