It seems apparent that a lot of cars are converging on a very similar design. Sorted by price:
Ford Fusion 2013-Present
Audi A7 2010-Present
Tesla Model S 2012 Present
Jaguar XJ 2007,10-Present
Maserati Quatroporte 2013-Present
Aston Martin Rapide S 2010-Present
I think Jaguar gets primacy here, because their first car that looked a little like this dates from 1996 and the 2 door XJR came out in 2007 with almost exactly this shape. Much of their present line looks pretty similar.
From a glance, the Tesla, Audi, Jaguar and Aston Martin are indistinguishable, especially from the side or rear quarter.
Except for the Fusion and the 2 door Jaguar, these are all big cars.
Aston Martin has announced a fully electric version of the Rapide, with 200 mile range. It costs more than twice what the Tesla does. It's not clear whether they'll adopt Tesla's Superchargers or go with the CCS Combo charger that the EU is pushing.
The Fusion is available in a Plug-In Hybrid version.
The price of the Audi, Tesla and Jaguar are pretty similar
