Elon Musk: Tesla Roadster from 0 to 100 km/h in less than a second

Elon Musk is once again laying claim to his beloved Platform X (formerly Twitter). This time he states that the Tesla Roadster sprints from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in less than a second.

There has been talk of a new roadster for some time. However, concrete numbers, specifications and dates have not yet been communicated.

Elon Musk on X

We now take Elon Musk’s statements about X with caution. Especially when the CEO of Tesla comes up with launch dates. For example, the Tesla Cybertruck has been delayed many times and the Tesla Roadster was scheduled to launch later this year.

Are you aiming for a 0-100km/h time of around 1 second with the fastest spec?

Please let us know that this machine will be available soon!

It is still unclear when the Tesla Roadster will come. The latest reports point to the year 2025. If you believe Elon Musk, the long wait wasn’t in vain. The electric car will be significantly faster than initially planned.

The Tesla Roadster would shoot from 0 to 60 miles per hour (96.9 kilometers per hour) in 1.9 seconds. This time would now be halved again.

Tonight we radically increased the design goals for the new Tesla Roadster.

There will never be another car like this, if you could even call it a car.

It’s unclear how the Tesla Cybertruck sprints from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour so quickly. There has already been talk of boosters that turn the car into a kind of hovercraft. Maybe that’s why Elon Musk says about the Tesla Roadster: “There will never be another car like this.” If you could call it a car.”
