Do you remember Elon Musk’s famous space car? It’s spinning on itself somewhere in orbit right now. Maybe it’s going right over your head. That car was a red Tesla Roadster. Elon Musk launched his Tesla Roadster into orbit in 2018 and executed a great marketing strategy within the brand. However, the new Tesla Roadster (2nd generation) could not be produced. Here are the details…
Production of the next generation Tesla Roadster has been postponed again!
The original Tesla Roadster, the brand’s first EV, debuted in 2006 and went into production in 2008. Then Tesla took a leap forward and the Tesla brand became a full-fledged automaker, aiming to manufacture from all model ranges. When it comes to the sports car part, the brand introduced the second generation of Tesla Roadster with a magnificent event in 2017.
Elon Musk made a show with the Roadster in this event that made quite a splash. The vehicle, which had a very powerful electric motor, could accelerate from 0 to 100 km in 1.9 seconds. On a long test run, this power test was repeated often. Then Elon Musk stated that the car will enter production as soon as possible.
But this was not the case. The company continued on its way, citing the intensity of other projects as a reason, saying, “Today or tomorrow.” So much so that Elon Musk shared on his Twitter account that there will even be SpaceX rocket propellants as an option to the Roadster model. This got users very excited.
When the dates came to 2020, the company decided to postpone production. He stated that they are focusing on other automobile projects as the reason for this, so they will postpone the Tesla Roadster project for a while. He also added that the vehicle lags behind other Tesla models.
After the meeting held in the past days, the production was postponed again. It was stated that the engineering and design processes of the vehicle were not completed. Based on the fact that at least 3 years have passed after each postponement news, we may have to wait until 2026 for a new Roadster, except for the Roadster spinning in space.
