Tesla has a new futures online, although the recent sharp rise in lithium battery prices and the reduction in production capacity caused by the epidemic have stretched the waiting time of the Model 3 and Model Y to more than 12 weeks. However, even if the delivery time is uncertain, there are still many consumers who are willing to pay a deposit and wait for the car slowly. Tesla, in the current context, the official release of Roadster bookings again. The car had previously been booked, but ended abruptly last December.
This time the car is back again, and it is not clear why. It's just that the booked model is the ordinary version, not the previous founder series version, perhaps because the latter limited to 1,000 units has been booked, but the deposit of this ordinary version is not cheap, requiring 332,000 yuan, equivalent to a Model Y.
Although the official website does not even write the delivery time, I still believe that this car will be greatly welcomed by consumers. On the one hand, tesla aura blessing, on the other hand, the Roadster belongs to pure electric sports cars, which is more personalized than the Model S in design. The extremely streamlined body makes it look very sci-fi, and the bulging shape on both sides of the cover also gives it some supercar characteristics.
The side adopts a double waist line, bringing a more slender body posture, and the glass roof can be manually removed to transform into a convertible, but the removed roof needs to be stored in the trunk, which will affect daily practicality. The rear of the car has a spoiler and a large diffuser that brings more downforce when the vehicle is driving at high speeds.
The interior design is quite sci-fi, the overall "T" layout, in the middle is a large LCD screen placed vertically, and behind the display is a large storage space. The steering wheel is similar to the latest Tesla Model S, with a semi-enclosed rectangular design, which looks quite sci-fi, of course, it will take some time to adapt when using it for the first time. The seat uses an integrated sports style, and the thigh and waist support is quite obvious, which can tightly fix the person on the seat during intense driving.
In terms of power, the Roadster is an all-wheel drive structure, the peak torque on the wheel goes to 10,000 Nm, the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 2.1 seconds, the acceleration of a quarter mile is 8.8 seconds, the maximum speed can reach more than 400 km/h, and it is no less than the top supercar that costs tens of millions. In addition, it is equipped with a 200kWh power battery in terms of endurance, and the official nominal cruising range reaches 1000 kilometers. It is reported that this car will be delivered in the second quarter of 2023, but in this context, the new Model S is also a few times in a row, until now has not officially entered the domestic market, whether the Roadster can be delivered on time also needs to draw a question mark.
This generation of Roadster has been unveiled to the public in 2017, but after almost five years, it has not been mass-produced, and the efficiency is really low. And according to the news, the car is still in the development state, the delivery date is difficult to determine, in addition, because the project was set up earlier, so many selling points were surpassed by the new Model S later, such as 2.1 seconds of 100 km acceleration.
In addition to the Roadster, Tesla Cyberruck pure electric pickup trucks are also open for booking in China, but the deposit only needs 1,000 yuan. But considering that the car has not been delivered locally in the United States, I think it will take a long time.
