Tesla Roadster Will Return With Future Supercar Features
JAKARTA - Speculations about "the most epic demo" required by CEO Elon Musk have recently found a bright spot, with Lars Moravy, Tesla's Senior Vice President of Powertrain, confirming that the project in question is none other than a highly anticipated Tesla Roadster.
For your information, the Tesla Roadster is Tesla's first electric car, which proves that electric cars can be fast and cool. With 0-100 km/hour acceleration in 3.7 seconds (for the Sport model) and a distance of about 393 km, the Roadster changed perceptions about electric cars which were then considered slow and boring. About 2,500 units were sold in more than 30 countries, making them a pioneer for the next Tesla model like the Model S.
Now, rumors are starting to spread after Musk posted a post on X, mentioning his meeting at Tesla Design Studio, airing, California, next to SpaceX headquarters. He added that there would be "the most epic demonstration" at the end of 2025 without elaborating on the project. The Tesla community immediately suspected this about the Roadster, and Moravy confirmed this at the X Takeover event in California, Saturday, July 27.
Moravy, who is the Vice President of Tesla Vehicle Engineering, not only confirmed that the Roadster is "definite in development," but also provided a glimpse into the technology to be embedded.
"Roadster must be under development. We did talk about it last Sunday night. We're preparing for a really cool demo. It's going to shake the mind; We showed Elon some cool demos last week about the technology we've been working on, and he's a little excited," Moravy said. , quoted from Teslarati.
