Whatever happened to the new Roadster?

Time goes by and the spotlight on the Tesla hyper EV has seemingly dimmed.

And sort of linked to the above - when does (did) my referral chance to win one (or a Y) finish/expire?

Has yours not arrived yet? ...

Has yours not arrived yet? ...

Not even single VIN character

Did you refer yourself with your new Raven MS?

Elon not in a rush to make stuff he's got lots of as giveaways to giveaway. It'll be triangle truck next assuming any people are alive by then....

So have any draws for Y/Roadsters been done? Should I still be holding my breath for my referral?

 

[GeorgeSymonds]

No draws have been announced, the referral scheme abuses supporters nowadays if you ask me. If you'd got solar I think the referall is worth a cash amo8nt and it always seemed more sensible to me to giver people say $100 for making a referral rather than free supercharging which nobody can accurately work out how much they actually get as miles doesn't equate to how they give it out.

As for the roadster, I think they need to come up with a drive train and battery design first that meets the promises. I strongly suspect they'll do the plaid MS as part of a revamp and that will be the basis for the roadster.

I saw that with Roadster reservations, there is no option for FSD, but with Cybertruck you can pre-order to lock in the bargain price now £6,800. So does that mean Roadster will just come with FSD, or just they haven’t got round to updating the page?

What happened was that Tesla got some buzz and money but doesn't yet have the 3-motor system, and significantly improved battery.

Tesla doesn't have either yet.

Tesla is planning to put the 3-motor system into the Model S Plaid first.
