Tesla wants to set a new record with the Roadster

The new Tesla model Roadster is eagerly awaited on the market. CEO Elon Musk is now heating up market expectations even further and promising big things.

• Musk teases Roadster
• Acceleration to 100km/h in under one second
• Bugatti CEO believes this is technically possible

Tesla wants to present its new Roadster at the end of 2024, and the vehicle could go on sale from 2025. But Tesla boss announced months beforehand Elon Musk first details price.

Is the rocket roadster coming?

On Platform X, Musk explained that the Roadster has undergone a design overhaul. “There will never be a car like this again, if you can even call it a car,” the billionaire promised in a post on his platform.

It is a collaboration between Tesla and his space company SpaceX, Musk continued. “I think there is a chance that this will be the most stunning product launch of all time,” he promised.

To 100km/h in under a second

But he obviously doesn’t just want to set new records in terms of design. The sports car should be able to go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under a second, according to the Tesla boss, without going into more detailed specifications for the vehicle. But acceleration is still “the least interesting part,” promised Musk.

When a user asked if the Roadster could “fly a little,” Musk responded with an emoji:

Bugatti believes Musk’s promise is possible

In the past, Musk had made delivery, price or design promises for Tesla models on various occasions, but was ultimately unable to fulfill many of them. At least technically, the head of the sports car manufacturer Bugatti Rimac, Mate Rimac, believes that the acceleration promised by Musk for the Roadster is definitely feasible, as he confirmed in a Facebook post when asked by a user.

“It’s possible with engines,” replied Rimac under a photo of the engine for Bugatti’s new Chiron sports car. “We did the simulation.” However, this is “really the only way” because other, alternative acceleration methods are too impractical.
