The Lienard-Wiechert potentials for charged tachyons are deduced in this note. They turn out to be twice as large as compared to the corresponding potentials for ordinary particles. Several remarks are made on tachyon Cherenkov radiation and its intensity. In particular, it follows in a straightforward way from the derivation of the Lienard-Wiechert potentials that the tachyon Cherenkov radiation angle obeys the same formula as that for ordinary particles.
