Tesla Roadster: Tesla unveils 'fastest production car ever'
Discussion
My brother in law has a P90D, and I got my 1st text from him on this at 6am this morning. He will be on the phone to his dealer at 9am sharp to put his deposit down.
One of his questions to me was 'has he (Musk) just destroyed the hypercar segment?'
If it does the numbers it will be pretty incredible, but that's not enough for me... you can't use all the performance of any cars in that class on the road with any frequency already. So to be considered as segment ending, it has to drive properly too.

This will be useless as I commute from Glasgow to Mogadishu twice a week nonstop and live on a Lighthouse with no charging charging point.

I'd think that demolishing the performance of any production car ever made, no matter the price, is pretty impressive for $200k
It's astonishing.
And before you shout "tree hugger" I'd have a Singer over this any day. But not any other modern performance car. If performance is the metric

The article continues:-
" production of the new car, an updated version of Tesla's first production vehicle, is expected to begin in 2020.
Its top speed was not revealed, but he hinted it was "above 250pmh". The current world record for a production car is 277.9mph, held by the Agera RS by Sweden’s Koenigsegg."
So basically a $200,000 Lotus Elise.

Wait, from that sentence alone you can tell it was definitely built on the Elise chassis, with 4wd and 4 seats, just like that. Wow." production of the new car, an updated version of Tesla's first production vehicle, is expected to begin in 2020.

It looks quite good, I'm still waiting for a motorcyclist to come along and tell us his superbike has the same performance for a 20th of the price." production of the new car, an updated version of Tesla's first production vehicle, is expected to begin in 2020.

Anyway, where the heck are they shoving 200kwh of batteries and how much will they weigh? Bonkers.
Fantastic thing for sure, but will it ever get made? Or imported to the UK? In RHD?
I have been eyeing up a model 3 as my next car, but no longer have confidence it will be available in here by 2020 let alone the 2018 originally promised.
All these new launches are impressive, but surely TESLA would be better resolving one problem at the time and not making more.
I genuinely would like to be proved wrong.
