Musk made a surprise unveiling back in November 2017 when he presented the new Roadster, a sports car that he claims will be able to go from 0 to 100kph in just 1.9 seconds, making it the “fastest production car ever” made.
The new Roadster is due in 2020 and is expected to cost US$250,000 (RM998,000), have a 200-kWh battery and supposedly drive 998km per charge. Already these are ambitious specs, and whether or not they factored in “rocket thrusters,” who knows.
On June 9, Musk tweeted that “10 small rocket thrusters” will come as part of the “Space X option package,” claiming they will “dramatically improve acceleration” and possibly even “allow a Tesla to fly.”
Apart from the rockets, no new specs were revealed on his Twitter thread, however Musk did include some of his background history and passion for cars.
He ended by saying “New Tesla Roadster will exceed all gas sports cars in every way.”
