A Surprise New Car: A New Ridiculously Fast Roadster
The new Roadster clearly takes aim at high end sports cars.
"The point of doing this is to give a hardcore smack down to gasoline cars," Musk told a crowd in Los Angeles on Thursday.
He added that the Roadster "will be the fastest production car ever made, period," he said.
The base model will be able to travel from 0-60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds, which would be a record. It will go 0-100 miles per hour in 4 seconds. It will have a 200 kilowatt hour battery pack and will be able to drive 620 miles on a single charge, Musk said.This will the first time that any production car has broken 9 seconds in the quarter mile."
The car will seat four people. Customers can reserve a model with a $50,000 deposit. Those who want to buy one of the 1,000 Founders Series Roadsters will have to shell out $250,000 upfront.
The car is the second version of the original Roadster, Tesla's first production car. The company made the Roadster from 2008 to 2012Tesla rolled out the car immediately after unveiling the Tesla Semi truck before a crowd in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
