Tesla looks set to offer another slightly more aggressive, slightly faster model alongside its Model S sedan [pictured]. The high-performance, zero-emission (and tentatively-named) Model S Sport packs a larger battery, extending its single-charge range to 300 miles. Green Car Reports adds that it’ll even get optional aerodynamic wheels adding another 20 miles to the car’s range.

The wider reaching implication is, of course, that multiplayer is coming to Mass Effect in BioWare’s next chapter, but no official confirmation has been made. Whatever’s in store for us when the game launches, it looks like part of it will be hidden behind a wall until you prove your loyalty to Electronic Arts …

Sony said it expects a “huge impact” on earnings as the euro declines — many of Sony’s exports are to European countries, some of which are on the edge of defaulting on an international loan. The euro currently sits at a decade-low against the yen, and as Sony generally doesn’t buy from Europe, it doesn’t have a defense against the euro’s descent, Sony corporate treasurer Hiroshi Kurihara told Bloomberg.
“There are no countermeasures that we can take for the moment,” Kurihara said. “There is a huge impact on our earnings.”
