Digg’s Kevin Rose Leaks Tesla Model S Photos Via Twitter

Tesla fans, you’ve got a friend in Digg founder Kevin Rose. He managed to get his hands on what look to be three press photos of Tesla’s upcoming Model S sedan, and proceeded to leak them out to the public.

Two hours ago, Kevin Rose tweeted “someone leaked me some tesla model s (electric car) pics, seems to have a huge touch screen display” with a link to his Flickr account.

Could this be an intentional viral marketing move by Tesla? Having someone with 360,000 followers on twitter leak some photos of your car can’t be a bad thing, especially after yesterday’s interesting press day for the company.

UPDATE: Or not. New twee from Rose: “tesla called.. asked me 2 take down the pics ‘I’m hereby politely but firmly asking you’ not sure if they know how the ol’ web works”
