<br />Over at <a href="http://calacanis.com/2009/02/21/tesla-model-s-photo-gallery/">Jason Calacanis' blog</a>, a new teaser shot of the <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/tag/TeslaModelS/">Tesla Model S</a> has surfaced that shows a bit more detail of the car's greenhouse profile. According to Jason, the photo was emailed to buyers of the Signature 100 cars, of which he is one. We got <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/02/12/first-official-teaser-photo-of-the-tesla-model-s-appears/">our first glimpse</a> of the new car last week but this one shows more. Most of the car appears to be hidden in this image but there are details if you know how to look. A visit to the curves adjustment in Photoshop reveals the same fender trim seen on the earlier shot as well as the wheels. In the adjusted version, the door handles and side glass profile are also visible, as is the glass roof. We don't know at this point if the glass roof will be part of the production model, although it could be problematic for an EV. The extra thermal load would have the air conditioning working harder and thus cut into the range. You can check out the enhanced photo after the jump.<br /><br />Tesla has opened the reservation list for the Signature Series and Jason is so happy with his Roadster that he has decided to <a href="http://calacanis.com/2009/02/21/i-just-ordered-two-tesla-model-s-one-for-my-wife-and-one-to-give-away-on-mahalo/">order two Model S Signature Series sedans</a>. Right now, only early adopters of the Roadster can get on the list for a $40,000 refundable deposit. Following the <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/02/11/tesla-to-unveil-model-s-on-march-26-hopes-for-doe-money-by-summ/">March 26 reveal</a>, anyone will be able to order one for a $10,000 deposit, and if you already own a Roadster, you'll get $10,000 off the price of a Model S. Don't forget the enhanced version of the Model S teaser after the jump. <em>Thanks to everyone who sent this in!</em><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://calacanis.com/2009/02/21/tesla-model-s-photo-gallery/">Calacanis.com</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/22/new-tesla-model-s-teaser-surfaces-our-friend-jason-orders-two/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New Tesla Model S teaser surfaces, our friend Jason orders two!</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/22/new-tesla-model-s-teaser-surfaces-our-friend-jason-orders-two/">New Tesla Model S teaser surfaces, our friend Jason orders two!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:01:00 EST.
