Comeback for Tesla...
You might think that the above image is irrelevant and it is of some other car.. It might be surprising to Car enthusiasts but this is the image of the Tesla Roadster released back in 2008.
According to various articles, the Roadster can travel 393 kilometers (244 mi) on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack, and can accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 3.7 or 3.9 seconds depending on the model. It has a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph).
It was released as an indigenous Luxury race car with Elon Musk as the Chief Engineer at Tesla. The car was really well marketed and even got a ride to space from the much successful Falcon x Space shuttle.
Despite all this support, The 2008 Roadster was a disaster in terms of sales and customer satisfaction. Nearly just above 2000 units were totally sold of this car model.
Even Musk accepts this fact by using phrases such as "was completely unsafe," it "broke down all the time," and it "didn't really work."
But Tesla didn’t give up on its Roadster dream…
The 2020 version of the Roadster was shown in a surprise moment at the end of the Tesla Semi event on November 16, 2017—during which a Roadster was driven out of the back of one of the semi-truck trailers to the song "Sabotage".
This newer version of the roadster looks absolutely phenomenal and Musk bet’s that this would be the fastest production car ever produced..
It is expected to release in late 2020..but as the economic situation of all countries looks little grim at present , the release might get delayed further.
Some fascinating specifications of the model are:
0-60mph : 1.9s
1-100mph :4.2s
Max speed: 250mph+
Wheel torque :10000 Nm
EPA range : 620 miles (1000 kms)
Base price: $2,00,000
As a Tesla fan , the comeback of Tesla Roadster 2020 would be a great event..
