" UPDATE: Tesla, the company that brought us the electric Roadster, unveiled the Model S, a five-seat sedan, earlier today in California. With a base price just shy of $50,000, this electric car will be far more accessible than the company&amp;#039;s roaster, whose starting price is more than twice that amount. And the sedan should be one of the top Progressive Automotive X Prize contenders when the competition heats up later this year. As we reported below, the car will have a central touch screen. More importantly, the company reports that the range on the car&amp;#039;s removable battery will be 300 miles, and that it&amp;#039;s 0-60 time will be 5.5 seconds. Tesla hopes to start producing the cars in late 2011.  Earlier some first photos of the Tesla S have surfaced, apparently leaked by Digg founder Kevin Rose. The Model S resembles a Jaguar XFR to our eye, with few surprises we have yet to see in any luxury sedan. But check out that interior photo.  Could that be a touch screen console? It turns out, yes.
