when is the new tesla roadster coming out
Tesla Roadster (2020) Tesla said they will begin selling the car in 2020, though not before the Tesla Model Y goes on sale. Elon Musk said that the Roadster would have a new acceleration mode that is quicker than the acceleration available with the Tesla Model S and X.[3]
Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster A license for the launch was issued by the US Office of Commercial Space Transportation on February 2, 2018.[31] The rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center[31] at 15:45 EST (20:45 UTC) on February 6, 2018,[32] and was initially placed in Earth parking orbit while remaining attached to the Falcon Heavy second stage.[4] After a longer-than-usual six-hour coast phase through the Van Allen radiation belts, thereby demonstrating a new capability requested by the U.S. Air Force for direct geostationary orbit (GEO) insertion of heavy intelligence satellites, the second stage reignited for the Earth-escape trajectory.[33][34][35]
Tesla Roadster (2020) The Roadster has three electric motors, one in front and two at the rear,[13] allowing for all-wheel drive, and torque vectoring during cornering. Tesla said that the vehicle had a 200 kWh (720 MJ) battery, twice the capacity of the Tesla Model S P100D, and giving a 621 miles (1,000 km) range on one charge at highway speeds. Tesla stated that the torque at wheels was 10,000 N⋅m (7,400 lb⋅ft).[25]
