Tesla shows next-generation Roadster electric car in Texas

US electric carmaker Tesla has demonstrated its next-generation Roadster sports car at the SpaceX test site in Texas. Elon Musk claims some versions will reach 100 km/h in under one second.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla has demonstrated its next-generation Roadster sports car at the SpaceX site in Texas. The model had been awaited for a long time in certain car-enthusiast circles: the first prototype was shown in 2017, so almost ten years passed before this public demonstration.

Elon Musk claims that some versions of the car will be able to reach about 100 km/h in less than one second and attain a top speed of more than 370 km/h. These figures are Musk's own claims, and the source gives no information on any independent verification.

The source text does not mention the model's price, the start of production or a sales date, so those details remain unknown for now.
