As part of Tesla Motors' opening of its first New York City showroom in Chelsea this week, the company has unveiled the 2010 version of its Tesla Roadster Sport. There are a host of minor upgrades on the Sport edition, including an array of buttons that have now replaced the gear shift lever, according to Syfy's DVICE blog. The automaker also relocated the iPod dock slot, and made available carbon-fiber accents for the interior as an option. This week marks the first time the company has shown the Sport edition in public, according to the report.
In addition, Tesla Motors is now offering financing for its $100,000 sports car. That's just $1,700 per month for five years. (Gulp.) Meanwhile, AutoblogGreen reports on a rumor that other 2010 Tesla Roadsters will soon receive additional upgrades, including improved cooling, an upgraded power electronics module, a revamped A/C system, an auto-locking glove-box when you leave the car, and always-on Wi-Fi connectivity so the car can report back to Tesla Motors (which you can turn off). No confirmation yet from Tesla on any of this, though.
