On April 12, Tesla’s official website page in the United States showed that consumers can currently pay $50,000 to book a new generation of Roadster electric sports cars. Last week, CEO Elon Musk mentioned at the Texas Gigafactory opening event that Tesla will start producing a new generation of electric sports cars next year.
It is reported that Tesla removed the Founder Edition of the Roadster electric sports car in December last year. At present, the Roadster page of Tesla’s official website does not show the total car price, and consumers who want to book a new generation of electric sports cars need to pay $5,000 immediately and pay another $45,000 in the next 10 days.
Previously, tesla’s official website page showed that the starting price of a Tesla electric sports car was $200,000, while the price of the founder’s limited signature version was $250,000. As far as the Roadster electric sports car is concerned, the founder version refers to the front of the frame number, that is, the production of Tesla’s new generation of electric sports cars with a high schedule and priority delivery, and the rear of the car also has the founder’s badge.
And the latest booking page is no longer available for the Roadster Electric Sports Car Founder Edition. This may indicate that the number of bookings for the founder version of the Tesla Roadster electric sports car has met the production requirements.
Musk talked about the cyber truck production plan at the Cyber Rodeo event last week, and mentioned in passing that Tesla will also start producing a new generation of Tesla electric sports cars next year.
If not at the same time, the Tesla electric Sports car will start production later in 2023 after the Cyber Truck goes into production. As Musk described in his Cyber Rodeo keynote, there’s a good chance that a new generation of Roadster electric sports cars will come into production at the Texas Gigafactory.
On November 16, 2017, Tesla unveiled a new generation of Roadster sports cars at the Tesla Semi conference. When the prototype appeared in front of everyone from a Tesla Semi, it was quite shocking.
At the time, Musk promised that the Tesla Roadster electric sports car would be the fastest production car ever built, accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers in just 1.9 seconds. But with the introduction of the Model S Plaid to market, Tesla has achieved this goal almost ahead of schedule, with the new Model S accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers in just 1.99 seconds.
Given the current technological and battery advances, the Tesla Roadster electric sports car base version should accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers in time to far exceed 1.9 seconds. With the Optional SpaceX Rocket Thruster Kit, the Roadster electric sports car can accelerate in 1.1 seconds from zero to 100 kilometers.
The Tesla Roadster electric sports car was once the top award for the company’s recommended program. As planned, Tesla will have to give away at least 80 $250,000 Roadster electric sports car founder editions to the lucky ones who have been patiently waiting for years. Some of them even won 2 Tesla electric sports cars. As Tesla begins production of a new generation of electric sports cars next year, it remains to be seen how it will deliver on its commitments.
