Tesla's Plan Changes and the Upcoming Roadster

TapTechNews August 1st news, Tesla once planned to launch a Plaide Plus model that is even crazier than the Model S Plaid, but later canceled this plan. However, the concept of this high-performance vehicle has always been unforgettable for car fans.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, confirmed on social media that the upcoming Roadster will fill the vacancy left by the Model S Plaid Plus. It also means that Tesla will no longer launch a sedan model stronger than the Model S Plaid.

TapTechNews noticed that when the Model S Plaid was initially launched, its performance was unrivaled, but now this advantage is no longer obvious. The Lucid Air Sapphire and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT have surpassed the Model S Plaid in acceleration and track performance. Although the Model S Plaid is still a high-performance vehicle, its halo is no longer so耀眼.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi is also about to launch the performance monster SU7 Ultra, with a power of more than 1500 horsepower, a 0-100 kilometers acceleration in only 1.97 seconds, and a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

The upcoming Roadster will offer performance beyond the Rimac Nevera at a lower price. Musk said that the Roadster's acceleration performance will be even more amazing than initially announced because Tesla significantly raised the design target. Tesla initially claimed that the Roadster could accelerate to 60 miles per hour (about 96 kilometers per hour) in 1 second, and the maximum speed is 250 miles per hour.

After years of waiting, Musk said that the Roadster will officially debut and be produced in small batches in 2025. If Tesla can deliver on time, then this concept car has taken eight years from its debut to mass production.
