I was just looking through their draft rules, and it sounds like
Tesla Motors could enter their Roadster right now without much additional effort in the Alternative class. Their Roadster already has the equivalent of 135 MPG, a top speed of 130+ mph, and a range of 250 miles, and is currently set to begin production this year.
