POPSTesla Motors Gets $40M That raises the question of who'll work on the Roadster. It isn't as if anyone who can spin a wrench will be able to work on the car's lithium-ion battery pack, one-speed transmission and electric motors. Tesla has spent 18 months developing service procedures and a factory service manual and is about to start hiring and training mechanics. And what's the latest on the Roadster? It's still slated to go into production March 17 with a temporary two-speed transmission. That'll be ditched as soon as Tesla's sorted out the one-speed and improved power electronics module it calls DriveTrain 1.5.
