The new Roadster will be available at the end of 2019 or early 2020, but as Tesla is renowned for missing deadlines, it is still uncertain whether or not the target will be achieved.
Besides the mind-blowing acceleration and range numbers, the car includes features that make it the best option among the would-be-released sports cars. The 0 to 60 mph test will take as little as 1.9 seconds as the company claims, which makes the Roadster the first production car to hit 60 in less than 2 seconds. The 200 kWh of the battery pack claims to provide a massive 620 miles of range that will make “driving a gasoline sports car feel like a steam engine with a side of quiche” in Musk’s words.
The car will use three electric motors, providing 7,376 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, thanks to the torque multiplying effects of a transmission, and at least one differential. Currently, Tesla invites customers to participate in crowd-sourced funding by reserving a Roadster for USD 50,000; reservation for the founder series will cost USD 250,000.
