Unveiled for the first time back in November 2017, was the Tesla Roadster.
The second-generation Tesla Roadster hasn’t been released yet 5 months into 2021, as the
product is going through some final design tweaks and upgrades before hitting the market.
Welcome to Smart Sense!
In today’s video, we are going to dive into all the latest news about Tesla's Roadster's
new changes, upgrades, and the real purpose behind all these changes, which I'll get to
at the end of this video. When it comes to high-performance electric
cars, Tesla has always surprised people all over the globe. CEO and owner of the company
Elon Musk have been talking about the recent progress made by Tesla over the last couple
of years. Back in November 2017, Musk held a launch
event to introduce his new electric-semi-truck and bring the second-generation Tesla Roadster
as a surprise for everyone but later it became a ‘’show-stealer’’ and everybody got
interested to know more about the release of this insane new Tesla sports car.
The new model promises to be a game-changer and without a doubt, you’re also eager to
see what features this sports car has, so let's get to it.
Let us start with the car's performance, of which Musk announced some specifications in
November of 2017. The performance, such as a claimed 60mph acceleration time of 1.9 seconds
is one of the many things that create such a big interest in the car. The Tesla Roadster
will have a top speed of 250mph and will do a quarter-mile in 8.8 seconds. That’s contemptible.
If it holds the said acceleration time of 60mph the roadster will be considered a second
faster than its main competitor, the McLaren 570S. The Roadster will utilize two electric
engines, one at the front the other at the rear.
Tesla declared that they will offer the Roadster for a base price of approximately $200,000
and the Founders Series limited edition for an extra of about $50,000. The exact differences
between both editions are unknown to us apart from the fact that only 1000 Founders series
models will be manufactured. It’s worth the additional dough in case you are an investor
looking to re-sell the car for profits in the future. Otherwise, you should save the
extra cost of buying the special edition model. Further details about the pricing and what
model is better to buy according to your needs will be discussed in the future.
By looking at the features the roadster offers and its range of batteries,
$200, 000 is not extremely high priced. There are other cars the competitors of Tesla sell
that are more expensive and provide less value than the new Tesla roadster will according
to the claimed specs.
Elon Musk also announced the Long battery life that this new Tesla car will have. This
Tesla car claims to provide a 200-kWh battery which is more than enough to achieve a smooth
ride of 620 miles. However, there are certain conditions to completely utilize this battery
range, like the use of the car's lights. If you’re driving on a track with poor lights
or flat-out hot lamps, you might run out of battery power sooner depending on the amount
of time in which you use the car's lights.
What most people like about sports cars are their removable roofs. The Tesla Roadster
also comes with strong double doors and a removable roof. This means you can enjoy a
sunny day while riding this car.
The Tesla Roadster team has been working on a large touch-screen in the prototype model
that expands from the apex of the dash to the interior console. The services such as
Apple Carplay, Amazon Alexa, and android auto cannot be seen in Tesla lineup vehicles.
The roadster comes with four seats. But the rear seats give an impression of not being
there, they may not fit adults, as per usual with 4-seater sports cars this seats will
be fairly small. The Roadster will also have a roof of glass panel which you can stash
away in the trunk considering the dramatically angled roofline. The front head Room is expected
to be 36.7 inches and the front legroom to be 42.0 inches altogether. We are supposed
to get the Tesla signature inconspicuous interior design replicated in the roadster in 2021,
but we're yet to see how the final production model will be.
The roadster will have a power train that is assumed as all-wheel drive. Even in inclement
weather, the roadster has been presented as a steady ride that can potentially turn into
a daily driver. The doors will be unlocked by a single finger swipe then opening up with
the handle.
Among other updates, the Tesla Roadster's development is currently at a halt. The chance
to perform a crash test has been exercised by the National Highway Traffic Safety and
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It is expected Tesla to provide for the Roadster
all its most up-to-date and greatest driver-assistance technology. This technologies probably include
its well-known Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system.
Another cool thing is that the Roadster might not require the most professional driving
skills from the driver because of the features and technology it has been built on. In all
aspects, the roadster is very practical.
Safety can be the biggest concern for such fast cars. However, this new Tesla car has
Standard mechanized emergency braking using pedestrian detection and Lane-departure caution
amid lane-keeping assistance. Accessible adaptive speed manager is a super cool feature that
enables the vehicle itself to control the speed by sensing different factors in the
environment. This intelligent speed adaption in the new tesla car makes it safe and secure
for anybody.
Owners might look forward to the car to live up to Elon’s claims, which has been a dilemma
for Tesla. Or else they might anticipate it to perform things other hyper-cars can perform
such as, state, and lap a track with reliable performance, also a dilemma for at least one
Tesla. Furthermore, with a 200-kWh battery pack loaded,
Tesla will drastically require its tech to create a pathway hound, a dragster, and a
lake-bed all in one. Other than that, it’s merely claiming two of the three.
From breaking the ground for new and innovative ideas, to their ecofriendly products, which
are also cost friendly and provide equal… in fact more utility than any other traditional
fuel-based automobiles, and their futuristic designs that you would only have seen in sci-fi
movies –tesla has been making its own unique way, distinguishing itself from already standing
auto giants, and setting a new precedent all over.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as we all know, is a visionary! And Electric motors are not
the only disruption he has brought to the existing tech markets. His ideas are out of
the world…quite literally. Space X is his another, very famous company
that we know for its disruption in space rocketing – where now we have got reusable rockets,
thanks to his and his incredible team’s unrelenting ambition, intelligence and hard
work and… well it is difficult to put into words, you get the point!
So, at the beginning of the video, we talked about how there's a bigger purpose for all
the Roadster updates
Overall, the updates made to the Tesla Roadster are going to be an increment to the specs
of the vehicle and further proof Tesla wants to be in every corner of the transportation
industry.
Tesla is not just making an average EV; the goal is to make the Tesla Roadster a leader
in the sports car segment for functionality and performance.
