Tesla to unveil new Roadster in 2024
For your information, the new Roadster was previously unveiled during the Tesla Semi unveiling back in 2017. The upcoming electric vehicle will be the company's new halo car to bring more prestige to the brand. It was first supposed to come in 2020, but it was, unfortunately, delayed every single year since. Most recently, Elon Musk delayed the production to 2024. Musk announced on X that Tesla “increased the design goals for the new Tesla Roadster”.
The CEO added that it is delayed again to next year, but it should be unveiled toward the end of this year: Production design complete and unveiled by end of the year, aiming to ship next year. Musk responded to a few questions on X and reiterated that it is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX.
In the past, Musk said that the Roadster would come with a new optional “SpaceX package”, which would consist of 10 cold air trusters that would act as many rockets, helping the car accelerate and move, even possibly jump. The CEO hinted today that this is still in the plans. He also said that Tesla is aiming for sub-1-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration but that this would be “the least interesting part” of the new Roadster.
