Elon Musk Says Upcoming Tesla Roadster To Debut With SpaceX Tech For Speed Boost: ‘There Will Never Be Another Car Like This…’

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said that the EV giant is ramping up specs on the new and upcoming Tesla Roadster with the help of his rocket manufacturing company, SpaceX. The company is now looking to start delivering the sports car in 2025, later than Musk’s previous estimate of late 2024.

What Happened: “Tonight, we radically increased the design goals for the new Tesla Roadster,” Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “There will never be another car like this, if you could even call it a car.”

The latest update on the Roadster comes after a lull. Neither the company nor its CEO has provided any updates on the car since May 2023.

The updated design is a result of the collaboration between Musk’s two companies- Tesla and SpaceX. The company will unveil the vehicle at the end of 2024, and deliveries will start in 2025, Musk said while adding that he expects the unveiling to be “the most mind-blowing product demo of all time.”

Musk said the new and upcoming Tesla Roadster can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 1 second, lower than the company’s initial estimate of 1.9 seconds. However, the CEO added that acceleration is the least interesting part of the car.
