Really, at this point, why bother with Roadster 20xx? It's almost comical.
Can you imagine though:

Stranger: "Wow, cool car! What is it?"
You: (proudly) "It's a Yangwang!"
Stranger:
You:
Stranger: "Hell is that?" (Stifling laughs, childishly)
You: "It's the Chinese word for midlife crisis translated to English."
Stranger: "Of course it is." *walks away erupting in uncontrollable laughter*

Yeah, nah I think I'll keep waiting and pay $250k for a "Roadster" instead. 😂

Just tell anyone who asks that it *is* the new roadster!

Exactly how an immature child would react. Perfect.

Makes me think this was an AI generated image, and the human forgot to check it. This fin-shaped thing doesn't appear in other images of the car.
 
from chatgpt/copilot:

In Chinese, the term “仰望” (yǎng wàng) translates to “look up at” or “look up to someone hopefully”. It conveys the idea of admiration and respect. Interestingly, this term also serves as the name for a Chinese luxury electric car brand called Yangwang, which is owned by BYD Auto and marketed by Shenzhen Yangwang Auto Sales Co., Ltd. The brand was introduced in January 2023 and competes with European luxury brands in the Chinese market. Yangwang vehicles occupy a price range above CN¥1 million (approximately US$140,000). The brand logo features the Chinese character for “lightning” or “electricity” in oracle bone script1. Quite an electrifying name for a luxury car brand, don’t you think? 🚗⚡
For more information, you can visit the official Yangwang website1.

It's real. If you do image searches, some pictures show this dorsal fin thing on the back. For example:

It looks like it might fit in where the central support for the back wing is.
