« The fastest production car ever manufactured “. In November 2017, Elon Musk was full of praise for the new Tesla Roadster. In the process, early fans took action and paid $50& ;nbsp;000 dollars to reserve this vehicle. Seven years later, they still haven't seen the color of it, but there is news, and the billionaire returned to the subject at his company's latest quarterly conference .
A little patience for the Tesla Roadster
The least we can say is that the customers concerned should not be in too much of a hurry. Elon Musk still wants to thank these customers “who have been suffering for a long time” while waiting. He indicated that this will be “the icing on the cake”, but that “other projects are a priority before its launch”.
Reassuringly, the entrepreneur specifies that Tesla “is finally making progress” and that he is “close to finalizing his design”. He adds: “It's super fun, and we're working on it, but it has to come after them (the priority projects Ed.)”.

Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush, is the most optimistic and he thinks that we will see the new Tesla Roadster on the roads within 12 months. Other experts, more grumpy, point out that Elon Musk often talks about big projects in all his companies, which often take a long time to come to fruition or are abandoned.
Elon Musk's promises
As a reminder, the manager has in any case sold us a dream with this vehicle and he promises that it will be able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in less than a second. This is for example better than the Bugatti Chiron, often cited as the fastest car in the world, which takes 2.4 seconds to reach this speed. Note that the latter will also be equipped with a removable glass roof.
The businessman also confirmed that this model will be the result of a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX, these two companies, but we do not know for the moment how this partnership will materialize in the Tesla Roadster. As for its price, it reaches the heights and the sum of 200 dollars is already being mentioned.
