New Tesla Roadster is the car in the world, with record-setting acceleration, range and performance. Founders Series Roadsters are limited to the first 1,000 reservations.
The new Tesla Roadster is insane. https://twitter.com/Nivo0o0/stat...

👨👩👧👦 It's a 4 seater.
...and to think the event was technically about the Tesla Semi 😅 https://www.producthunt.com/post...
@bryceoflife people don't buy ferraris for the sound ;), its about enjoying the style and that brand - personally this tesla looks great, but i'd still take a ferrari over it any day of the week.

@bryceoflife@rickats Not to mention the Ferrari will definitely (99% chance) go up in value
Report
@rickats@mrjmws Mostly joking haha, would for sure take a Ferrari. Though in SF, not a whole lot of open road to use it either so...

Holy cow. Some people collect stamps, Musk's hobby is setting new records.

- 0 to 96 km/h in 1.9 seconds
- Top speed over 400 km/h
- 1000 km range
@_yannbertrand that’s actually a controlled speed limit. The real final speed remains undisclosed by Tesla. Some engineers are saying the final speed is close to 500km/h.

When I woke up this morning, I was expecting a semi truck. Turns out Tesla also unveiled the world's fastest car. Mind blown.
Sounds really good on paper but the production is scheduled for 2020, so it’s unfair to compare it to the cars currently on the market. No other manufacturers announce cars so far ahead so it seems at least partly like a hype for Tesla investors. Acceleration is just one part of what makes a great sports car. And how is the acceleration past 100 mph? That’s the traditional weakness of electric cars and it matters more on the track. How about its weight, brakes, turning, steering feel, grip, suspension, weight distribution (it should be quite good), downforce? Will the battery last for a full track day? Of course sound has always been a very important part of what made sports cars exhilarating to drive and Tesla can’t compete there. And the design and brand matter too. Ferrari and Lamborghini don’t make $40k cars (or even $100k cars).

@leoharsha10 If that is your logic and sound your thing, you’ll be better buying an old Soviet Mig29 supersonic jet and sit on the middle runway while a competent pilot break the sound barrier at 50 m ground altitude over the tarmac and rises at 90° over your head... it surely beats any sport car engine's sound. but since you seem to value so much exclusivity, even if the prices are artificially hyper-inflated, you must love the customary Pentagon's projects budget run-overs, then better get an F15 Eagle, if you can get your hands on one, McDonnell Douglas doesn’t make $100m jets.
