Today on Green Car Reports: Tesla Motors recorded 6,457 Model S electric-car deliveries in the first quarter of 2014, new research says diesel-car emissions still pose a significant health hazard, and Texas plans $2,500 electric-car purchase rebates. All this and more on Green Car Reports.

Tesla Motors' first-quarter sales were on target, and the company may break ground on its lithium-ion battery "gigafactory" next month.
