NEW YORK (AP) -- Electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors Inc. said Friday it plans to sell stock to the public.
The company, based in Palo Alto, Calif., did not disclose in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission specifically how much it plans to raise though it listed $100 million as a placeholder figure. The actual amount it raises could be higher.
Tesla also did not give a date for when it plans to launch the IPO, nor did it say how many shares it would sell or at what price.
A Tesla IPO has been widely anticipated. The company has garnered attention for its high-end Roadster, an all-electric sports car that retails for $109,000.
The two-door Roadster is the only model Tesla currently sells, but the company plans to start selling a four-door sedan, the Model S, in 2012. The Model S is slated to go for $49,900 when including a federal tax credit. That car is designed to travel as far as 300 miles on a three- to five-hour charge.
