Earlier this year, the CEO confirmed that the new vehicle will indeed not come to market until 2022. We haven’t heard much about the new Tesla Roadster all year and suspected that it might have been delayed again. The automaker had a tough year due to the chip shortage, and the Cybertruck itself, which is clearly the priority, has been also delayed. When asked about the Roadster’s timeline today, Musk confirmed that it is now delayed to 2023. Furthermore, he explained that it will also depend whether 2022 will prove not to have too much drama, which is a big if: 2021 has been the year of super crazy supply chain shortages, so it wouldn’t matter if we had 17 new products, as none would ship. Assuming 2022 is not mega drama, new Roadster should ship in 2023. Tesla has been presenting the new Roadster as a ‘halo” vehicle to dethrone fossil fuel-powered supercars as the most powerful vehicle in the world.
