Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to the platform formerly known as Twitter to break some big news about the long-awaited second-generation\u00a0Tesla Roadster<\/a>, first shown in 2017 and\u00a0postponed many times<\/a>\u00a0since. Musk has now announced that they’ve settled upon the Roadster\u2019s final design and that it would be shown at the end of 2024, with even more bonkers performance numbers than previously announced\u2014if they can pull it off.<\/p>\n

As if the initial performance specs for the Roadster weren\u2019t enough, Musk has now announced that they have \u201cradically increased the design goals\u201d for the second-generation model. He claims that it will be able to sprint from a standstill to sixty in under one second, although he made no mention of optional thrusters being necessary for the feat.<\/p>\n

Tesla needs some excitement to fill a “gap year”<\/p>\n

Investors have been unhappy with Tesla’s stock price as the automaker warns of slower growth this year thanks to high interest rates, and a lull in new products until the rumored $25,000 EV can debut. Generating hype for the Roadster may address some of that and put pep back in Tesla’s step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Musk also mentioned that it was a collaborative effort between Tesla and SpaceX, but stopped short of explaining whether he was talking about the car (and\u00a0its optional cold gas thrusters<\/a>) or its launch event, which many commenters seem to speculate could see a Tesla Roadster being launched into space; it wouldn\u2019t be the first time, and he does say \u201cit has a shot at being the most mind-blowing product demo of all time,\u201d so the prospect of Spaceman getting a buddy can\u2019t be excluded.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been more than six years since the Roadster concept was unveiled, and almost four years since that passenger ride event that strained everyone\u2019s neck muscles and made them scream out profanities. During this time, Musk has done what he’s often very good at\u2014building hype\u2014and he\u2019s also mentioned that they were rethinking and improving the Roadster along the way.<\/p>\n
