Everything you need to know about the new generation Tesla Roadster; Elon Musk’s new trump card

Elon Musk has claimed that the new generation of Tesla Roadster – Telsa Roadster is going to be the fastest car produced by mankind! But what do we know about this attractive Tesla supercar? How true is Elon Musk’s claim?

Tesla launched the first generation Roadster as its flagship electric vehicle in 2008. Since then, the path of the Tesla car company has always been forward and the developments were made one after another for this company.

Currently, the focus of Elon Musk’s automobile company is focused more on Cybertruck and Tesla Semi cars, and this brand is thinking of expanding its product portfolio to SUVs and pickups.

However, a very important question has occupied the minds of passionate fans of this company. What kind of car will the new generation of Tesla Roadster be and will we witness the introduction of a revolutionary car by Elon Musk and his team like the first generation or not?

In 2017, with the official unveiling of the new generation Tesla Roadster, Musk answered many of the questions of the enthusiasts.

Since then, the Tesla Roadster has experienced numerous delays. However, new information indicates that it will be released in the market in 2024 and at a price of at least 200,000 dollars.

Now, the important question is that after six years have passed since the introduction of the first generation of this car, what is Tesla’s plan for the second generation? Will the second generation be able to become an effective and important product in the electric car market like the first generation?

In the continuation of this article, we will try to introduce more of the new generation Tesla Roadster and check everything we know about this wonderful car of Elon Musk.

Tesla Roadster 2 is a supercar

Although the current records for the Tesla Roadster 2.0 indicate that this car can be placed in the category of hypercars, Tesla has placed this product in the supercar category.

Therefore, this time the roadster will not be introduced with the tag of “sports car” like its previous generation!

Of course, as mentioned, based on the records recorded by the second generation Roadster, this car can be classified as a hypercar. For example, the Roadster 2.0 covered the distance of 400 meters (a quarter mile) in only 8.8 seconds; While the amazing Bugatti Chiron needed 9.1 seconds to cover the same distance!

Strengths

• The new generation Tesla Roadster is the first Tesla supercar.
• The performance of this car can compete with hypercars.
• The price of this product is in the category of supercars and not hypercars.

weak points

• Roadster 2 will be Tesla’s most expensive car.

Tesla Roadster 2.0 will be the fastest car in the world

If all goes according to Tesla’s plan, the second-generation Roadster will be able to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds.

In this way, the second generation Tesla Roadster will be able to take the title of the fastest and fastest car in the world.

In this regard, of course, the problem is that Tesla’s successive delays in introducing this car have caused the competitors of this company to unveil their ultra-fast products. For example, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is one of these monsters that needs only 1.66 seconds to reach a speed of 96 km/h!

However, there is still a possibility that the Tesla Roadster 2 can win the title of the fastest car in the world.

Strengths

• Roadster 2 will probably be the fastest car in the world.
• This function will be achieved without the need for fossil fuels.
• Roadster 2.0 will be much cheaper than other hypercars.

weak points

• Competitors like Dodge or Rimac have unveiled their super fast cars.
• Numerous delays have prevented the launch of the Roadster 2.

The new generation Tesla Roadster will be a four-seater car

Tesla Roadster 2.0 will be a two + two-seater car and will be able to carry four passengers, like one of Tesla’s most important competitors, Porsche.

This happened by using a new chassis designed by Tesla. The first generation of this Roadster basically uses the chassis of the Lotus Elysee coupe and therefore, it was a two-seater!

Strengths

• Tesla Roadster 2 will be the fastest four-seater car in the world with a possible acceleration of 1.9 seconds.
• The trunk and cabin capacity of this car will be more compared to before.

The Tesla Roadster 2.0 will be an all-wheel drive (AWD) car

The first generation Tesla Roadster uses two electric motors, both of which were installed on the rear axle, and thanks to the 53 watt-hour battery of this car, they formed a sports electric car.

Nevertheless, Elon Musk and his team decided to change their design and manufacturing approach in the new generation and start building powerful electric cars with high power.

For this reason, the next generation Roadster will use three electric motors, two of which will be installed on the rear axle and one on the front axle.

This innovative Tesla technology, which was previously used in the Tesla Model S Plaid, makes the Roadster 2 become a four-wheel drive (AWD) product and has much better cornering performance by using torque vectoring capabilities.

Strengths

• Tesla Roadster 2 will provide excellent performance on all types of roads thanks to the AWD power transmission system.
• The acceleration of this car will be strengthened in this way.
• The torque will be an important win for the steering of this car in sharp turns.

weak points

• Tire wear will increase in this way.
• It will consume more battery.
• AWD technology leads to an increase in the price of Roadster 2.

Tesla Roadster 2 will have a range of 1000 km

Currently, the largest battery installed in Tesla vehicles has a capacity of 100 kWh and is generally used in the Model S platform.

With the help of this powerful battery, Tesla’s luxury sedans were able to travel a distance of about 650 kilometers with each full charge.

This performance definitely seems ideal for the second generation of Roadster. Nevertheless, Tesla decided to unveil an amazing 200 kWh battery for the new generation Roadster, which gives the driver the ability to travel around 1,000 km on a single charge.

If Tesla can properly use this super battery, which is twice as large as its current largest battery, the Tesla Roadster 2 could possibly take the Lucid Air Dream Edition R’s record for the most distance traveled on a single charge. This Lucid Air car currently travels about 836 km with each charge.

Of course, this battery is not the largest example ever used in the automotive industry; Because previously, General Motors has used a 212 kWh battery in the 2023 version of its electric Hummer, and has taken the title of the largest battery used in electric vehicles.

However, the 1,000 km range is an achievement that is unprecedented among electric cars in the world so far.

The price of the second generation Tesla Roadster will be more than 200 thousand dollars

According to Elon Musk, the new generation Tesla Roadster will have a price of 200,000 dollars, which will make it the most expensive car of this Californian automaker.

Of course, if you plan to buy the special edition of this car, you have to set aside another 50 thousand dollars for this!

Those who already intend to pre-purchase the second generation Tesla Roadster, must put aside an advance payment of 38,000 dollars to buy this device.

On the other hand, the advance payment required to reserve the Founder Series special edition will be $50,000.

Of course, this cost for buying one of the most stylish and classy electric supercars in the world does not seem so high; Especially considering that the cars of this company are usually known for their high second-hand value in the market.

At the same time, not knowing when this car will be released to the market has made it a little more difficult for potential pre-purchasers; Because these people have to pay an exorbitant fee to Tesla; Without knowing the delivery time of their car.

Of course, this is a very familiar issue for Iranians; Because for some time the big car manufacturers of the country have been using exactly this mechanism to sell their cars to the people!

Founders Series special model; The dream of collectors and connoisseurs

To celebrate the creation and launch of its first supercar, Tesla has announced that it will release 1,000 Tesla Roadster 2 cars with the Founders Edition logo. In this way, Elon Musk will also prepare the preparations for turning the Tesla series into museum and collectible products.

Of course, it is not yet clear what differences this special edition of Tesla Roadster 2 will have with the original model. However, it can be predicted that exclusive colors and special designs and logos will be among the changes that can be expected in the Tesla Roadster Founders Edition.

As mentioned, the price of Tesla Roadster 2.0 Founders Edition model will be about 50 thousand dollars more than the base model. Of course, this version will probably not be the only special model of Roadster 2 and we will see more versions of it being released to the market.

Strengths

• The Founder Edition Roadster 2 will be a very special and collectible item.
• This model will reach customers earlier than other models.

weak points

• The price of this model will be higher than the normal model.
• The differences between this model and the regular Roadster 2 model are not yet clear.
• The pre-sale of this version has ended.

What specifications will the SpaceX Tesla Roadster 2 package have?

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla, announced some time ago that he has considered a package called SpaceX for the Tesla Roadster and plans to equip this supercar with the cold gas thruster used in SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. slow

The SpaceX Tesla Roadster theoretically has the potential to accelerate from standstill to 96 km/h in 1.1 seconds. In addition, it will take only 7.95 seconds to travel 400 meters with this supercar.

Meanwhile, the current fastest car in the world, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 covers this distance in 8.9 seconds.

Strengths

• Tesla Roadster 2 SpaceX will have a power of 1242 horsepower.
• This car will be the fastest car in the world.

weak points

• The SpaceX Tesla Roadster 2 model will probably have no rear seats.
• The price of this car will be higher than 250 thousand dollars.

The new generation of Tesla Roadster will be full of various features and capabilities

Except for the SpaceX Tesla Roadster 2 model, which reaches a speed of 96 km/h in 1.1 seconds from a standstill, many technical and comfort features will be installed in different models of this car.

For example, the standard model will likely benefit from an attractive glass roof, which the driver can remove to turn the Tesla Roadster 2.0 supercar into a convertible.

In addition to the possibility of converting the Tesla Roadster 2 into a convertible car and installing a very powerful and bulky battery in this car, we can expect that this Californian automaker will also use the latest self-driving technologies in its new product and turn it into a super smart product.

Of course, it should be noted that installing a glass panel in the roof will probably occupy a large part of the car’s trunk space and reduce its useful capacity.

In addition, despite all the advanced technologies used in the new Tesla Roadster, this car will probably not be able to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Tesla Roadster 2.0 will be launched in 2024

The second generation Tesla Roadster was supposed to be launched in 2020. Elon Musk announced this at the unveiling event of the Tesla Semi in November 2017 and noted that the Tesla Roadster will replace all gasoline cars by 2020!

However, 2020 has been pushed back to 2021, then 2022 and 2023, and now 2024!

Elon Musk himself announced in an interview some time ago that his company hopes that the design and manufacturing process of this car will be completed by the end of 2023 and that this car will be launched in 2024.

In this way, even if the Tesla car is released next year, it will reach buyers several years behind schedule. However, if the calculations and data provided are correct, buyers of this car (SpaceX version) can buy the fastest car in the world.

Strengths

• Tesla Roadster 2.0 is only one year away from the market.

weak points

• Tesla Roadster 2 will reach customers with a delay of about seven years.
• Musk and Tesla engineers are hopeful and not sure about the release of this car in 2024!
