It looks like Tesla Motors is planning some pretty cool features in the next upgraded generations of the Roadster.  The main plan is to input WiFi chips into the actual car allowing it to update its firmware, get statistics if needed, unlock doors, and know the exact location of the vehicle.

Eventually, it is going to allow BlackBerry applications as well as iPhone ones to be written to basically interact with the car.  Imagine being able to roll your windows down via BlackBerry, setting it to 1/4 or 3/4 open if needed.  Remote starters perhaps?

    As a Tesla owner with a Bold, I was thinking about this. However, there's no real point in a remote starter in an electric car…

    Maybe if you could just turn on the heat or AC remotely.

    Yeah, I don't think remote start is something sought after in an electric car LOL. How does the heat work in an all electric anyway? I'm guessing, the heat would have to be all electric as well.

    Hi Dan,

    As I am an electric car enthusiast – I would like to know what sort of mileage do you get from a single charge in your Tesla?
