The Tesla electric truck was not the only protagonist of the night - early morning for us in Spain - of the event held by Elon Musk's company. But after the details of the Tesla Semi, Musk had a surprise up his sleeve. The versatile businessman gave way to a new vehicle. And it reminded the audience that Tesla began its journey with a Roadster in 2008 (the model was discontinued in 2011). And now it was time to return to its origins. This is how Elon Musk gave way to the second generation Tesla Roadster.
This second generation Tesla Roadster has interesting figures to contribute to the electric sports car market. But, above all, it has an acceleration that has attracted the attention of the public: it can achieve 0 to 100 in less than 2 seconds - 1,9 seconds to be more specific.
Meanwhile, this second generation of Tesla Roadster will be a 2 + 2 vehicle. Yes, Elon Musk was referring to the fact that there will be two rear seats, for small people, but it is a 4-seater vehicle. Meanwhile, he continued with more figures: he will enjoy a top speed of more than 250 mph (more than 400 km / h) and will do the quarter mile in 8,8 seconds.
On the other hand, the range declared by this second-generation Tesla Roadster is 620 miles traveled on a single charge. Yes, you heard right: 1.000 kilometers of autonomy on a single charge. Will your next daily vehicle be an electric sports car?
To do this you must go making a piggy bank. And is that the base price will be $ 200.000 (about 170.000 euros at the current exchange rate). And from now on the reservations are open, in which you must pay about $ 50.000 to make it effective. The second-generation Tesla Roadster will go into production next year 2020.
