The tech mogul claims the upcoming Tesla Roadster will redefine automotive standards with unprecedented speed
Elon Musk has once again captured the attention of the world, this time with a bold claim about Tesla’s upcoming Roadster. In a series of tweets, Musk announced that the new Roadster, a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX, will set new benchmarks for automotive performance.
Describing the Roadster as a revolutionary vehicle, Musk hinted that its design goals have been radically increased. He even teased whether the finished product could still be considered a traditional car. Despite the ambitious goals, Musk stated that the production design is complete, with an unveiling planned for the end of the year and shipping expected to begin next year.
Responding to a fan’s inquiry about the car’s acceleration capabilities, Musk confidently stated that the Roadster will go from 0 to 60 mph in less than a second, emphasizing that this feat is just the beginning of its impressive features.
While Musk’s claims are generating excitement, some caution is warranted. The Roadster was originally announced in 2017 with production initially slated for 2020, a date that has been repeatedly pushed back. Musk’s track record of overpromising on product features, as seen with the Cybertruck’s waterproof claim, adds a layer of scepticism.
As the year progresses, the automotive world eagerly awaits the unveiling of the Tesla Roadster and whether it will truly live up to Elon Musk’s grand promises of innovation and performance
