Let's be honest here. The Roadster was only a ploy for Tesla to get a big load of cash. It was at the start of model 3 production, and the company was on the verge of breaking out, or completely breaking apart. They announced this car, and asked for $50k in deposit, some people paid $250k. This saved the company from collapsing, and now they are the most valuable (not really) car company, so they will never need make this.
Elon is on a path of trying to make himself a trillionaire. So he is only going to push forward what is mandated in his pay package. Part of the deal is that he needs to sell 20 million cars, 1 million robots, 1 million robotaxis. He's not interested in small volume, luxury anymore. That's why the model S and X are discontinued, and FSD will become subscription based, because even if you tried it out for only 1 month, he can claim he delievered another full FSD car.

Might as well cancel this whole thing LMAO! This was impressive numbers back in 2017. Nearly a decade later, pretty much everyone is starting to or has already caught up.
It's a pretty looking vehicle though

It looks awesome, sure, but Mars will be terraformed by the time we see these things on the road.

Waiting for a magazine test in the summer or winter of 2025:
0-60 in 2.3
0-100 in 4.7
1/4-mile in 9.8 at 139
(that's for the tri-motor with weather-corrected data and without rollout)
and 0-60 in around 2.6-2.7
0-100 in 5.6-5.8
1/4-mile in 10.4-10.7 at 129-132
(and that's for the dual-motor)
with rollout and no corrected weather data: around 9.3 at 147 (tri-motor), 9.9 at 139 (dual-motor)
this car is basically electric 911 Turbo/GT-R R35

the roadster will be outdated on release. tesla claimed a 1.9 second 0-60 mph, a 4.2 second 0-100 mph, an 8.8 second quarter mile, 0-250 mph in 19 seconds that is now 8 years ago. now we have plenty of supercars and sedans doing 1.9 seconds, a lucid air sapphire with the same price and more practicality being close in the quarter mile. with rimac, hennessey and koenigsegg all doing 19 seconds to 250 mph. tesla took too long to the point every company is catching up and already capable of beating it.

@FastestLaps its been delayed to 2026. almost 10 years after first unveiling. please just delete this page; because this is a concept car on the scale of the Devel 16.

I like how this car, which is literally vaporware (or been like that for 6 years) kept it's profile on the website's database, while cars like zonda R don't.
it makes me agree with the microwave argument people. a microwave still has a profile on fastestlaps though (despite the only lap it made so far was a lap around the brains of tesla customers for 5 years, although there would be little to make a lap around) the idea of home appliances having a profile here can strike a bit different.
Anyways I want to thank my insanely rich lord of twitter! I'll post this on reddit too!

When you're buying a Tesla, you're literally buying an overpriced Lada with a "nicer" interior. Musk's bloody (pun intended) affiliation with Putin aside, the bodies of all Tesla cars are handmade with plastic in the Netherlands and then imported to China for further inspections.
When the "cars" are complete, they get the "Murican" certification.
The Netherlands (as well as Mexico, Los Angeles, and Stockton) also happen to be places like Japan and Las Vegas where bratty money hungry attention seeking models strive to get paid for random partners.
Nadiaism is rising in the Tesla/TikTok/late-stage Twitter era.

The Roadster theory aside, I don't know why people take Elon Musk so seriously... one day people will realize he is just another California Clown. He's the Kim Kardashian of the automotive industry.
The Silicon Valley and Hollywood are the top two things currently damaging California culture in that they are emasculating Gen Z men and making them submissive. Hip-hop culture especially has been destroyed and taken over by Musk's cuck fanbase.

I bet 5 million dollars that either the roadster will be cancelled or it will be delayed to 2024
