What was this car I saw today? tasco or Tesco? By the Milford proving grounds
This morning, I was getting coffee near the Milford proving grounds, and saw a test car with a M plate on it. It had no manufacturers insignia, just what I thought was a model name. It was either Tasco or Tesco, I believe.
It was nothing special, just a basic commuter 4 door car. It had a laptop mounted in the passenger seat. Besides that and the M plate, it looked like it could already be in production. There was no masking or camo. It looked similar to somethng like a run of the mill, Accord, Camry, Malibu, etc.
So, what was it and who makes it? Maybe its a Middle East or Opel model or something for GM?

Tesla is working on TWO 4 door models I believe. The 'white star' and the 'blue star'. White star I think is going to be the more premium model, and the blue star is the lower priced model. Tesla white star development is in Rochester Hills, MI, so it could be possible that he saw a Tesla.
