Tesla Motors has been a headliner when it comes to electric vehicles thanks to its Roadster which features a $100,000+ price tag. However, the downturn in the economy forced the company to fire 90% of its employees in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

The Tesla has a 1-year waiting list.. the problem for them is financing and production issues. They can't make them fast enough.
