Elon Musk announces the presentation of the new Tesla Roadster for the end of this same year

Many won’t believe it, but the second generation of the Tesla Roadster could be on the road in a little over a year. At least that is what Elon Musk himself has just promised, when we all thought that the production version of this two-seat convertible, capable of blowing the stickers off anyone who crosses its path, had been left in limbo practically indefinitely.

In a post published on the social network X -where else?- the head of Tesla announced that the presentation of the new Roadster will presumably take place at the end of this same year. The company also intends for the first deliveries -we imagine in the North American market- to happen at some point in 2025, though no date has been set yet.

Musk has also revealed that the Roadster we will see at that future presentation at the end of the year will have very little in common with the one presented in 2017. According to him, Tesla has completely redesigned this model , this time with the collaboration of SpaceX, in order to make it the fastest series-production vehicle ever seen.

The new Tesla Roadster will redefine the concept of acceleration

When Tesla first presented the new Roadster in 2017, the American manufacturer announced that it would be capable of reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.1 seconds. However, four years later this is something that would no longer surprise absolutely anyone, given that the Model S Plaid is already capable of stopping the clock in that same time.

If Tesla wants to attract the attention of the media and motoring enthusiasts with the new Roadster, it has to go a step further, and this is precisely why the collaboration with SpaceX may be so important. Although for the moment we know very little about the technical specifications of this new model from the American manufacturer, Musk has wanted to offer a preview of a figure that is sure to generate a lot of talk. The head of the company claims that the new Roadster will be capable of reaching 60 miles per hour from a standstill in less than a second. Something never seen until now.

In the past, Musk already mentioned the possibility of using rockets to achieve blistering acceleration, but we don’t know to what extent this is something that could become reality, since it sounds more like a science fiction film. Fortunately, in less than a year we will finally have answers and will see how far Tesla has managed to go with this new Roadster. The new toy for speed enthusiasts.
