Tumultuous week for electrified cars

How about this for a roller coaster? On Monday, Tesla cancels its  lowest-priced, 40-kilowatt-hour Model S, then on Tuesday comes out  with a new financial plan for potential buyers, guaranteeing a resale  value equivalent to that of a Mercedes-Benz S-class. On Wednesday, startup  Detroit Electric unveiled its pricey electric roadster, the SP:01.  Thursday saw the announcement by Porsche that it would turn its  Panamera Hybrid into a plug-in hybrid for the 2014 model year. And we  end with a whimper on Friday, as Fisker lays off the majority of its  workforce, signaling the end of its efforts to market a luxury plug-in  hybrid vehicle. At least we have the weekend to catch our breath. Trouble viewing this email? Read it online.
