The website of Tesla is offering a very special edition of the Tesla Roadster

It is now possible to buy a scale model of the Tesla Roadster, available only through the internet

The fashion-setter in the automotive industry, the social phenomenon that draws thousands of people towards a different way of understanding the car, the general revolution that the arrival of Tesla has meant around the world, forces one to abandon the established canons set by other manufacturers, insofar as it understands the company’s current approach, conceived, directed and guided, like a guru, by Elon Musk.

That is why the appearance of the scale model of the Tesla Roadster 2.0 on its own online sales page could lead us to suppose that the commercialisation of the real vehicle is moving forward, the long-awaited sports car, convertible, electric and myth- and record-shattering that is expected to be the production version of the prototype presented exactly two years ago.

The arrival of a model capable of reaching more than 400 kilometres per hour and covering more than 1,000 km on a single charge, launched in the sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour, a little under 100 km/h, in less than 2 seconds, all packed into a body as attractive as that prototype, painted in an electrifying cherry red, only makes our mouths water, at least until we know exactly when it will go on sale.

The cheapest version of the Tesla Roadster

A car that is estimated to have a price close to 200,000 dollars and that is thought will go on sale in 2020. Therefore, the presentation on the website of the scale model of the Tesla Roadster we know may simply mean that the brand has decided to give its followers the option of buying the most affordable version of the electric sports car, or that this is the definitive look and configuration of the vehicle to be commercialised.

Be that as it may, the price of this 1:18 scale replica of the car, made of metal and plastic, is 800 times less than what the real car is expected to cost, since, for 250 dollars the model can be purchased and shipped, but only within the United States or Canada.

There is no possibility of acquiring the replica of the Tesla Roadster 2.0 outside the two northern countries of North America. At least, not for now. It is not even possible to place an order for shipment to any nations other than the two mentioned.
