Musk says that he plans to hold the unveiling event at the end of this year with an expectation that the car will roll off the production line starting next year. That’s not unheard of with Tesla. The company was able to achieve a similar timeline with the Model Y when it was unveiled in 2019 and started deliveries in 2020. Musk also hyped a new unveiling event, saying “I think it has a shot at being the most mind-blowing product demo of all time.” If the car goes from 0-60 miles per hour in under a second, I think that alone is all that’s needed to make it an absolutely insane product demo. I can’t imagine what it would be like sitting in the passenger seat when a driver from Tesla launches the car for that demo. Outside of the acceleration, the Tesla Roadster is expected to feature a top speed of over 250 miles per hour, a range of 620 miles, and a base reservation price of a whopping $50,000. That’s a huge down payment, but I’m sure those who are looking to buy the fastest car in the world will be willing to pay it. While we wait for Tesla to unveil its SpaceX collaboration with the Roadster, Rivian is set to unveil its electric R2 SUV in just about two weeks at an event in Laguna Beach. It’s a great time to be excited about some unique electric vehicles! Don’t Miss
