Deliveries of electric hypercar are earmarked to begin in 2025, having been delayed three times
The production version of the Tesla Roadster will be unveiled later this year, company CEO Elon Musk has said, claiming the model will arrive with bombastic performance statistics – including a sub-second 0-60mph time. Posting to Twitter, Musk said the brief for the car had been “radically increased”, promising that “there will never be another car like this”. The specification set out at the car’s 2017 unveiling entailed a 0-60mph time of 1.9sec, hitting 100mph 2.
This is significantly quicker than the 1.95sec 0-62mph time claimed for the Rimac Nevera, which is currently the world’s fastest-accelerating production car. Musk added that the company is “aiming” to begin deliveries in 2025, having previously committed to launch dates of 2024, 2023 and 2020, following its oriignal unveiling in 2017. The previous delays were attributed to supply chain disruption, as well as the extended development of a tri-motor powertrain and advanced battery technologies.
