Tesla-Yota (Thanks Jalopnik)

California GOV. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced yesterday that Toyota and Tesla are teaming up in a joint venture to produce electric vehicles. And the big news, they’re gonna do it California.

The details are sketchy, but it looks like Tesla will produce they’re new model S sedan and badge it as a Tesla, and rebadge it as a Toyota as well.

Even crazier, the joint venture may produce an all-electric Prius (finally!), but badge that as a Tesla. We don’t care either way, as long as the full electrics keep coming. So by this time next year consumers could have 4 or 5 major manufacturer electric vehicles to choose from.

One question—will the new Tesla-Yota models be equipped with sudden unintended acceleration?
