Tesla Roadster (second generation)

Automobiles

The second-generation Tesla Roadster is a concept battery electric sports car shown by Tesla, Inc. When it was announced in November 2017 the company said it could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds, quicker than any street legal production car at that date. It is the successor to the 2008 Tesla Roadster, Tesla's first production car, and is meant as a halo car for the company. Unveiled as a concept prototype in 2017, it was originally due to start production in 2020 with 10,000 units but was never produced. A redesigned two-seat version was shown in October 2026, with production planned for 2028. Tesla announced three configurations named Performance, Thrust and Rocket, the last two using cold gas thrusters developed with SpaceX.
