Tesla has unveiled a new version of its next-generation Roadster. As expected, it received Tesla’s latest design “cyberfication” and cold-gas thrusters to allow it to jump and flip through the air. The livestream featured impressive stunts but offered few details. Tesla released more information on X after the event, but there’s still no price and no production date. Nine years in the making Tesla first unveiled the next-gen Roadster as a prototype in November 2017 and promised production in 2020. That date came and went, and so did several more. This year alone, Elon Musk promised an unveil in April,…
Tesla finally showed the next generation Roadster on Thursday night, and the demo had more in common with a SpaceX test than a track lap. At an event outside Waco, Texas, near SpaceX’s McGregor site, the car used a mix of fans and cold gas thrusters to drive up a curved ramp until it was upside down, then flew off, flipped and landed on the pavement. “Well, it worked,” Elon Musk said. “Flying cars are real.” The Roadster also hovered itself over a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Model Y and Model 3 while moving, and that Tesla showed it going…
The base version won’t come with any thrusters. And the top-shelf “Rocket” version is available by invitation only. Source link
Tesla has finally re-unveiled its next-generation Roadster, originally unveiled in quite different form back in 2017. So since I did a technical breakdown of how it would work last time, I thought I’d give a quick update with what we know about the new version. Back in 2017, the Roadster was unveiled as the car that would “give a hard-core smack down to gasoline powered cars.” At the time, electric cars had already proven themselves with extremely quick acceleration numbers. But there weren’t many true electric sportscars (except, of course, the original Tesla Roadster from 2008, the car that started…
Tesla The Tesla Roadster is back, at least in concept form. The second-generation car was first revealed back in 2017, when CEO Elon Musk bragged about its sub-two-second zero to 60 time and 620 miles of range. Well, throw all that out the window, because the car that all those folks spent millions to preorder is gone — instead, there’s a new second-generation Roadster, one that leans into Tesla’s connection to SpaceX more than anything so boring as range. Welcome to the age of flying cars, supposedly. The new car, according to Musk and the demonstrations at the re-reveal event, flies. Tesla…
Whether you already own an electric car or you’re thinking about buying one, battery health is worth understanding. Every electric vehicle (EV) battery gradually loses capacity as it ages, but your charging habits, the climate you live in, and how you drive can all affect how quickly that happens. A healthy battery also helps your EV hold its value. At a Glance EV Battery Health: What to Expect Expected lifespan 8–15 years Moderate climates12–15 yrs Extreme climates8–12 yrs 051015 yrs Typical warranty 8 yrs / 100K mi Whichever comes first. Some automakers cover batteries for 10 years, and others for…

The new Roadster can jump over a Semi truck and do 0-60 in 0.81 seconds, Tesla claims. But it’s not actually available yet. Source link
