- Declared specifications: price $200-250 thousand, range ~1000 km, 0-100 km/h
Production has been delayed since 2020, and by 2026 the car is still not on the assembly line.
As part of the preparation for a new phase in Tesla's electric sports car lineup, a timer has been placed on the Roadster page indicating the remaining time until the official announcement. This event is scheduled for October 1, 2024, marking the first official confirmation of the date after several delays.
The visual design of the timer features a bright red car surrounded by four rays resembling jet streams. This image emphasizes the company's stated idea of using jet engines in the new version of the Roadster, which Elon Musk has been talking about since 2018.
Technical specifications announced in 2017
In November 2017, Tesla presented preliminary parameters for the model: a price ranging from $200,000 to $250,000, a range of about 1,000 km, acceleration to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds, and a top speed exceeding 400 km/h. These figures made the Roadster a subject of particular interest among potential buyers and analysts.
Elon Musk has repeatedly promised a public demonstration of the new Roadster, including in April of this year, but the events have been postponed. As of now, only the date is known – October 1st, while the details of the presentation organization remain unknown.
The announcement is expected to be an important signal for the electric vehicle market, confirming Tesla's ability to implement ambitious projects related to high speeds and innovative drives. If the company indeed presents a model with jet engines, it could set new standards for sports electric cars.
Meanwhile, potential buyers and industry observers are waiting for the official event to assess how realistic Tesla's promises are and whether it can complete the long development cycle of the Roadster 2 Gen.
