#120-60 in 1.9 seconds is ABSURD
It has twice the wheel torque of a Hellcat, but the traction is impressive too. Obviously making good use of that AWD.

#13An 8.8 second 1/4 mile is crazy for any car, let alone a stock one.
Re: Tesla Roadster
#14Love it. Perfect showmanship to hype up the truck then announce this.
Hope they stay solvent long enough to ship it.
Re: Tesla Roadster
#15It would seem over 200 mph isn't useful, except the Boring company could change that. A private tunnel could enable such leisurely travel for only cars that had level 3+ autonomy safety features.
Re: Tesla Roadster
#16How are they going to keep up with production on Roadster when Model 3 production itself is slow and low ?
It's $200k, so presumably the volume won't be too high.
(Which sadly means it's unlikely to depreciate into my price range any time soon!)
Re: Tesla Roadster
#17The Tesla roadster specs are insane! No exotic carmaker will be able to match it (taking price as a consideration). (no Ferrari, or Lambo, can get that close. This is Formula 1 acceleration speeds).
Plus 620 miles of range, and it is a 4 seater. Expensive as hell, but this is exotic car territory.

Re: Tesla Roadster
#19I'm thinking what this means to gas car makers.
Wave 1: "It's all about legacy and prestige, not speed/acceleration".
Wave 2: "The track handling isn't all that good, how can drivers take that corner at full power without losing traction".
Wave 3: "Alright, we will go electric too".
Re: Tesla Roadster
#20$250k and it looks like a Nissan Z. Honestly, the old model roadster looked much more distinctive.
