Car News:2018 Tesla Roadster

The primary-technology Tesla Roadster loved nice success on the market with greater than 2,four hundred units sold in 31 international locations via September 2012. The ultimate 15 models have been bought as a special Last Version, giving the Tesla Roadster’s initial run a suitable sendoff.

For the second generation, Tesla is promising even greater things. In an interview with AutoCar, Tesla boss, George Blankenship, said that the next Roadster will be something never seen before and will "push the envelope beyond what anybody else is doing."

According to Blankenship, the next Roadster will be considerably improved when compared to the first generation. The first Roadster went from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds and offered a range of 200 miles, but the next model is promised to do even better than the 300-mile range that the Model S sedan offers.

The next Roadster will arrive in about five years, after the Model X SUV arrives in 2014 or 2015 and a 3-series-sized four-door in 2015 or 2016. We think it is safe to expect the new Roadster sometime in 2016 or 2017.
