Musk said the base model would make 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds. If this is true, it will be the first time that a production car exceeds a threshold of two seconds. He also said the new Roadster will go from 0 to 100 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds, and will erase the quarter mile in 8.9 seconds (in case it comes from a Fast and Furious franchise).
"There will be no faster than the plane," - said Musk, when the plane flew over the crowd of spectators, stuffed in a restaurant in Hawthorne, California, Tesla.
Musk said he did not endorse the top speed, but hinted that it was "more than 250 miles per hour." In comparison, the Swedish Agera RS Koenigsegg currently holds a world record of 277.9 mph.
While the fans were out of breath, Musk said the Roadster had a capacity of 200 kW and 620 miles per charge, more than 1,000 kilometers. Once again, another album collapsed, that's what Musk says. Imagine coming from Los Angeles to San Francisco and coming back, without recharging, Musk joked.
The car has three engines (one front and two rear), four-wheel drive and the couple.
Design: It's a blow for the sports car industry. Signals are possible from all major players, including the McLaren P1 Acura NSX appearance cabin, Bugatti Chiron Targa flagship only and a rear looks like Aston Martin DB10.
"The important thing is to give petrol cars extreme lubrication," said Musk. When running any other turbo sports car, you will feel like a steam engine with a quiche side.
But there is an expectation: musk says production should not begin until 2020, and Tesla production conditions have been traditionally optimistic. You can now reserve $ 50,000 for a base price of $ 200,000 - or get one of the first models of the 1000 Series Founders models with higher productivity and an initial price of $ 250,000, which must be paid now.
While customers are waiting for 3 models, Tesla has dug its heels and reminded its followers, where the love of the brand began: 2008 Roadster. Musk provoked the return of the first Tesla production car since 2011, when the car finished its race. But the promised date of 2014 has come and gone, and instead of electric fans have got the model S, and X and 3. The opening of this polugruza this afternoon intends to signal the next step in the mask " Master Plan ". Musk showed that he learned again and again the art of getting through the script, which caused him great pleasure.
