Tesla
Roadster
Today
I would like to present You the quickest sport all-electric battery-powered car
in the world, with record-setting acceleration, range and performance. This
wonderful car can get 100 km/h at only 1.9 seconds this makes this car a
monster. This speed is quicker than any street legal production car to date at
its announcement in November 2017.
Tesla
indicates that Roadster sales will begin in 2020 and will be cost about 200 000
dolars (720 thousands zlotych), although not before Tesla Model Y goes on sale.
Design
The second generation Tesla
Roadster is a 2 + 2 roadster with removable glass roof and has smaller rear for
two passengers. This car has three electric motors, one in front and two at the
rear, allowing for all-wheel drive, and torque vectoring during cornering.
Tesla said that the vehicle had a 200kWh battery, twice the capacity of the
Tesla Model S P100D, and giving a 1000 km range on one charge at highway speeds,
Ferrari’s LaFerrari, Lamborghini’s Aventador SV and Bugatti’s Chiron can only
manage the distance in 2.4 seconds..
Performance
estimates
Tesla claimed the Roadster’s
acceleration will be :
·
0 – 97 km/h in 1.9 seconds
·
0 – 161 km/h in 4.2 seconds
Tests
This is Emile
Bouret, otherwise knowns as the man with one of the best jobs in the world:
When he was at college, he shared a room with Franz von
Holzhausen.
Von Holzhausen went on to become Tesla’s lead
designer, and Bouret went on to get to test drive the best supercars in the
world, including drifting
Musk’s own Roadster back in 2008.
And for the past year, the 2020 Tesla Roadster.
At the surprise November launch, it was Bouret’s job to take journalists for a
spin.
Bouret has also got into a little bit of trouble
since then revealing more about the new Roadster than Tesla is comfortable
with, but this week, he was happy to share some thoughts on it with car enthusiasts VINWiki.
He doesn’t go into a lot of detail, but he does
say the car is “going to be a proper weapon”. Here’s why:
“I know
there’s some skepticism about the figures that Elon quoted… and I think can say
without getting in trouble that those are actual figures. Those aren’t
theoreticals. Those aren’t calculations. We’ve done those numbers. And I
probably shouldn’t say that those numbers are even conservative, but they are.”
The full video is below, but we’ll start you at the point Bouret begins
to talk about how nerdy von Holzhausen and another Tesla test driver Aaron
Bailey are in regard to the car’s setup:

Comments
I just like the design more and I do not care much about planet. Well, I do, but there are limited amount of Chirons in a world and I I am not going to drive one, someone else will. Therefore...
There is still limited amount of petrol in the world, so one day we will be forced to change to electro cars. At it is good that they are developing right now, so that at the point of no return we will have good evolved models.
But I still like this new trend in the car industry which Tesla started. Nowadays more and more companies starting their own electrical cars line up.
Also, I would like to admit, even though that Tesla Roadster concept making 0-97 km/h in1.9 seconds it is not the fastest electric car in the world. You can check here tech specs of Rimac C_Two http://www.rimac-automobili.com/en/hypercars/c_two/ which accelerates from 0 to 97 km/h in 1.85 seconds. But the price of it a bit higher than Tesla Roadster (€1,795,532 XD)
There is one downside of owning a Tesla in Poland... and this is charging stations network. It basically dose not exist ;( . So either he have to own a house or an outlet in garage.
About Bugatti Chiron I remember marketing company when they say that every time trying to build the fastest car and trying to use all new technologies but they still use petrol engine that on my opinion is weak side of this car :)
The prices in the responders of such a car are unmatched, this Tesla is very cheap compared to what it offers, having such cash, I could not refuse such a car.
For me, right now car should: be comfortable, have good music system.
Thats all. I drive in Warsaw, so I don't care how fast I could go when I am always stuck in traffic jam.
Also, the insurance cost would be kind of a buzzkill.
The design of Tesla is just incredible and I really like it. I do understand that there are lot of cars that look really outstanding(better than Tesla cars do) but they don’t have such combination of design and technologies at once.
The real problem for Tesla is relatively small amount of supercharges and decreasing amount of free chargers.
Those cars are awesome so comparing them is really hard. Both of them are extremely fast and luxurious. The only different I see is that Tesla is an electric car. To be honest, electric cars are still new technology and a lot of problems may come with it. Cars like Bugatti are ‘classic’ supercar and are a lot more stable.
Personally, if I could choose one of those cars, I would choose Bugatti. Only because it has more dependable engine. Maybe in few years everything will change and electric cars will become something you would have to have.
The car has a really good acceleration, it meets all ecological standards as well
does not emit exhaust fumes. On the other hand tesla can easily catch fire. Unfortunately, every car
equipped with electronics is exposed to it. Despite the small defect, I think the car is perfect
And I heard about Tesla Roadster yet. I was watching the live stream when Tesla announced this beautiful piece of art: incredible performance, gorgeous design and of course technologies.
But for this price, I will probably choose Lamborghini Huracan over Tesla Roadster.
"The Tesla company has really faced serious threat because of the increased Model 3 output. In fact, the company threw away money as the madwoman. And if we have not solved these problems during very short period of time, We had to be closed. And these problems were extremely difficult to be solved." - Elon Musk has said. And actually, it is one of those few cases when everything managed to be made top-level. Bravo Tesla! Bravo Elon Musk!
