Still no size information?

[Malujerry]

I’ve searched and seen some size comparisons to the S, but am not able to visualize the size of the new roadster. Is it about the size of the model 3? Small as the new supra? Don’t tell me it’s as small as a Miata or Alpha Romero? Compared to other supercars, this seems much smaller than a Huracan? I was hoping for the size of a NSX or R8. Mclaren is probably the smallest I could tolerate.

It'll be bigger than the original Roadster, that's for sure, and I've managed with that for 10 years. I'm more worried it'll be too big, not too small. They might need a lot of room to fit in all those batteries.

Just multiply the scale model's sizes by 18.

I did a very un-scientific measurement using a pic of Roadster at a car show last year. It had a license plate on it in the photo so I extrapolated from that and, in short, it seems like it’s as wide as the S. Can’t speak to the length of it though.

Alpha Romero

Brilliant.

 

[kvietor]

How's this?

 

[Malujerry]

Alfa Romero, whatever. I just didn’t want to spend $250k on if it’s small like their 4C spider.

Thanks!

Considering they're both 1:18 scale that's actually quite useful, thanks! You don't happen to also have the Model 3 1:18 model, do you? Would love to see the Roadster model next to that as well.

New Roadster is planned with two small back seats (unless you order the Space X package with rocket boosters).

I have the scale model S and roadster, and I think it is ‘approximately’ 1:18. But not accurate enough to give you more than just a rough estimate.

Fairly careful measurements of the die cast model yield the following dimensions.

Overall length 179 inches
Height 49 inches
Width over front fenders 74 inches
Width over rear fenders 77 inches
Wheelbase 113 inches
Front track 63 inches
Rear track 63 inches
Ride height 4.5 inches in center of car
Floor thickness measured in passenger footwell 8 inches

Same height but 3 inches shorter than a 2020 Corvette.

Not to worry... The Alfa is more like the size of the 2008 Roadster. For comparison

Roadster 2008 155x73x44
Roadster 2020+ 179x77x49
Alfa 4c Spider 157x74x47
Jaguar F 176x76x51-52
Porsche 718 Cayman 172-176x71x50-51
Porsche 911 178x73x51
Porsche Taycan 195x77-78x54
Acura NSX 176x76x48
Audi R8 174x76x49

The only things which are not pretty standard are the price/performance ratio and the wheelbase. With so much weight concentrated in the center of the car the longer wheelbase might be a really good idea.

Does any one have a 1:18 Roadster to compare to a 1:18 Model 3 or 1:18 Model X?

From what I can tell (I have one) the model is ‘approximately’ 1:18. Not sure detailed measurements are worth the effort.

Oh, it's simple, I thought. The photo window says "click this image to show full-sized version".
But it didn't quite work ;-)

Tesla Roadster

I guess you have certainly found by now June 2020

The link doesn’t provide specs.

@CHB02 posted 179x77x49 (not sure from what source). But that’s comparable to a huracan 177x76x46 which is what I’m considering.

Perhaps the Roadster is still only in the prototype stage.
More designing to do.
Sorry, I thought I read the detailed specs. Perhaps I'm thinking of the CyberTruck.
