They say all good things must come to an end. The Tesla Roadster seemed to sum up that statement with its gradual decline in sales. The upcoming Model S plans to reinvent the company and continue the party. By 2013, however, the Freemont, Californian-based automaker plans to launch another model, the Model X CUV. There are even rumors that there could eventually be a smaller and more affordable Tesla Roadster. However, design student Max Ostap is several years ahead of Tesla's design team.

He has come up with this design study for a possible future Model S replacement. He even built the pictured 1/5-scale model. Upon second glance, it almost looks like something George Jetson would take to work. Still, Ostap is getting a little ahead of the times (and Tesla's product strategy team). For now, the Tesla Model S is a full-sized battery-powered EV that will go on sale shortly. The battery life varies from three to five hours and it will feature a 45 minute QuickCharge. It is anticipated to go from 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Pricing for the Model S starts at around $57,400.
