New 2020? Tesla Roadster...OMG!

How much does this change the game? I'm not in the market for a $200k car, but I have to think if you were considering finally picking up that NSX you've always wanted...you might want to throw just a bit more cash in and go for this. Numbers like this are just absurd!

Isn't it crazy when I'd lean towards the multi-motor hybrid NSX techno-beast because it's the "traditional" choice?

I can't believe how quickly we're moving towards eliminating internal combustion vehicles. Then again, it's been nearly fifty years of work to get this far (going back to the first emissions standards), so we should've been expecting the change.

You wanna talk about ADM? Good luck!

Doesn't count since Tesla just sells direct, no dealerships involved.

Short clip of what the Roadster's launch looks like to a bystander. It's like a giant Tamiya R/C car:

Yeah but it wont beat a Chiron or F5 over a mile race.

Maybe not, but it'll beat the f*ck out of a Mustang, and that's all that matters.

 

[BarracksSi]

And it's a lot cheaper than a Chiron, too, isn't it?

Aww man what a great looking car. It looks like it's going to be the fastest production sports car around a track ever.

On a side note, I own an electric car, the Chevy Spark EV. Don't laugh! I love love this car. The future looks bright people.

Just like an R/C car except you get to physically drive it!

Holy shit...so I've followed a few people on Twitter (namely MKBHD) who've reserved one. $50k reservation.

The founders edition literally requires the entire $250k upfront. lol they're holding onto your $$$ interest-free for years. That's putting too much confidence into Elon lol

Simply amazing...

I know it. The thing looks awesome! If they can deliver on the stats - particularly the 600 mile range - this will be awesome! I don't think most operators will be able to handle the power unless it has some ability to maintain 'straight' on launches.

I'd still rather a GTR, 488, 720s over this.

Or even this.

With the stories coming out of Tesla lately, he's probably using that money on the semi and model 3. May be out of business before this car ever delivers the way he's blowing through capital.

Have you ever noticed that every Tesla owner around you has to launch off the stop lights like they are at a drag strip every time? That's what I see around here and I always say "Why the fuck did you buy an EV if you drive it like a blown domestic drag car?"

Even if Tesla does go out of business he paved the way for the electic car to be a real possibility thru the expansion of charging stations and public awareness win win for everyone but Tesla investors if he goes bankrupt

Ugh could you imagine going to a motorsports track and it just be silent. I wouldn't go anymore
