At that time, according to Elon Musk, the Tesla Roadster will go into production

It’s been almost six years since Elon Musk promised us the second-gen Tesla Roadster. Tired of waiting, a shareholder, supported by a cheering audience, asked the Tesla CEO when the electric hypercar would finally go into production.

“Yeah, where’s that thing?” Musk joked during the AGM. Seriously, he goes on to say that the development and design of the Tesla Roadster is expected to be completed later this year.

Elon Musk’s sweetener

If successful, production of the Tesla Roadster could begin next year. The Tesla CEO uses the term remarkably often ‘hopefully’. However, the hope that blossoms with this statement is quickly put into perspective by the words “It is not an obligation”. It therefore sounds primarily like a sweetener for the shareholders and the Roadster fans, who are now in favor of us.

Although the edges at high-quality Although the prices for cars are often significantly higher, the Tesla Roadster will hardly make an impression on the balance sheet due to its smaller number of units. Elon Musk therefore argues that shareholders shouldn’t expect a huge impact on sales from the Tesla Roadster, “but that the car will be super cool.”

Upcoming competition for the Tesla Roadster

We take that for granted, but would love to experience it for ourselves. Just like with the Cybertruck, the wait is very long and we now know from Elon Musk that the data he promised is not always worth the same amount. These “empty promises,” as he calls them, have frustrated Apple founder Steve Wozniak.

Anyway, 2024 then. We put it on the agenda. Unfortunately for Elon Musk, Tesla is no longer unique with its speedy roadster. Hypercar manufacturer Rimac is also working hard. The Rimac Nevera recently broke an insane 23 different records.
