Tesla has revealed the specs on the Tesla-P, a new model that will be sure to excite the public realm-conscious urbanite.
According to a press release announcing the new model of the darling of the electric-powered luxury car market, the new Tesla-P features a "Parklet" setting that deploys all-natural ground covering and two scratch-resistant aluminum benches when parked in public spaces. The benches include "defensive" design features to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them.
The announcement solved the mystery of recent rumors about a secret product in development by research and development arm of Tesla.
"The Tesla-P's Parklet setting makes a groundbreaking addition to the state of the art battery technology and superior power and handling that define the Tesla brand," said Tesla Twitter Fan Club president @Elon4Prez following the announcement.
Tesla stocks, which are practically a larger ownership concern than Tesla cars themselves, soared following the news.
