Shocked by the new Roadster rolling out of the Tesla Semi!

I think Elon broke physics with this one...

Even McLaren doesn't ask for the $250k 3-4 years prior to production.. but if folks are willing to pay, love it!

What was the 0 to 100 time?

Wow. That windshield wiper is a bit odd and out there. It's basically the same wiper arm as the truck.

A 4-seater (2+2, but still) that does 0-60mph in 1.9s *and* a 620-mile range in a 200kW pack?

Well, alrighty then!

Gdamn hey! And it’s absolutely gorgeous! WANT!

This wasn’t a Semi announcement. This was a Roadster announcement. This was the Steve Jobs “One More Thing” reveal.

The Roadster is... Holy Sh*t awesome. Kudos to the OP for the title.

Too bad it is a 2020 promise. Which means, well... you know.

The style, price and performance I think will preserve Gen1 Roadster values as well.

It just dawned on me: The Semi is a massive diversionary tactic, and not just this announcement. Elon’s going to form a Tesla Truck company, transfer all the Tesla debt and losses to that entity, then bankrupt the hell out of it. Cool if you can do it, and maybe he better get it done before the tax code changes.

Dry your eyes gear heads... plenty of other things ICE is still good for....

$5K down tonight. $45K within 10 days for base.

For founders, $5K down tonight, $245K in 10 days.

WOW!

Maybe you should compare it to the price of its closest competition. Say, one of the McLaren models.

Or 1/0th of a Bugatti veyron or laferrari...

WOW!

Where do you reserve it? I didn’t see it in the link.

No mirrors on the Roadster???

I am not complaining about the price, I am laughing because Musk will probably get a 2-3 year $250 million interest free loan, just from the founders edition.

Hmmpf. Nor on the truck. Interesting!

No need, will probably drive itself.

It's genius. I wonder how long it will take for the founders to sell ou.... annnnd they're gone.

That's 2-3 years IF they deliver on time.
