Regular readers of these pages will be aware that Tesla representatives have been making infrequent, casual references to a Tesla mass market car for some time.  Now things are getting just a little more concrete.  Elon Musk has told Engadget that Tesla will produce a, "third-gen car".  It will be somewhat smaller &, "will sell for half as much as a Model S".  When?  "Hopefully 2016, but I would say no later than 2017."
