This isn't based on any other car. The chassis development was done in house with input from Toyota and Mercedes which are investors in Tesla. There will be a Lexus version a year after the model S is released also built in the former NUMMI plant. It is rear drive with the motor built into the rear axle. The battery pack is a 3" thick flat panel that fits under the floors between the axles
