Musk: The new Tesla Roadster can take off
For almost a decade, Tesla customers have been waiting for the new Roadster. In a presentation, Elon Musk lets the model fly - and reveals when production is set to start.
Tesla has unveiled a new sports car, the Roadster, which can travel short distances by air thanks to rocket engines. The car was presented in Waco, Texas, and demonstrated a side roll over parked Tesla models. Production is set to begin in 2028, according to CEO Elon Musk, but no price was given. Reservations for the version with rocket engines require a payment of 250,000 euros, while the "Performance" version without engines requires 50,000 euros.
The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 0.81 seconds, and the production model is expected to be even faster.
