'60 Minutes': Electric sedan Video Transcript
>> For the Sedan, we're designing a fast swap capability.
>> You are?
>> Yeah. So the battery pack is full-mounted. We trapped-out and switched-out in probably less time than it takes to fill your gas tank. So hey, you know, if you can swap out the laptop battery pack, why not a car battery pack. You need a piece of equipment to build all these because its heavy, but you just need something that's like a big version of your hand.
>> Tell us about the Sedan, you said, you thought it would cost 60,000?
>> Yeah.
>> Do you think the prices are gonna go up the way the price on this one, on the Roadster went up?
>> It's possible. I mean, I can't discount that possibility, but we certainly gonna work very hard to ensure that the price doesn't go up. And we'll see.
>> And when are you expecting that we'll see the Sedan that we'll be able to test drive the Sedan?
>> I expect us to unveil the Sedan no later than early next year. ^M00:00:54 [ Clock ticking ]
