German Automotive Designer's Take on Next-G Roadster with Rockets                                         Source:  Maximilian Schneider This Roadster is Cool in Every Way Tesla CEO Elon Musk first unveiled his 2nd-generation Roadster concept in 2017.  He was supposed to launch it in 2020 and then punted the launch date back to 2023.  Rather than wait any longer, a very talented German automotive designer, Maximilian Schneider who has worked for Audi, Mercedes and VW, created his highly original and innovative design of what the potential is for the next G Roadster. Schneider took Elon Musk's concept to put rocket boosters on the car and Schneider made them aa main feature.  It's called the Tesla SpaceX Model R.  It's a hypercar that has tremendous technologies in it and is quite a beauty. Radical Car Design and Performance Schneider's design is so radical, futuristic and advanced it doesn't look like a Roadster. It's an all-electric, 4-wheel drive sports car

  All-Electric, Super-Fast, Very Stylish Tesla's Big Money-Making Sports Car 2023 is set to be a blockbuster year for Tesla.  Three hotly anticipated new models will go into production, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.  The models include the Cybertruck, the Tesla Semi and the Roadster sports car.  The new Roadster, which Tesla says is the world's fastest car, is a big money-maker for Tesla, even though it hasn't even gone into production yet.  The limited-edition Founder's Series Roadster is already sold out at $250,000 each.  1000 of the EVs have been bought, sight unseen, generating $250 million for Tesla.  These EVs won't be produced and delivered until next year.  Tesla is now taking $50,000 deposits to order the standard Roadster, priced at $200,000 for delivery in 2023.  The Roadster is an unusually hot and lucrative car. The Roadster's Alluring Appeal The appeal is the EV's unprecedented speed, good looks, sleek sporty design and zero emissions tech

Upcoming Roadster with SpaceX Rocket Thruster Package Option Can Briefly Fly                                                       Source:  Tesla Source:  Tesla CEO Elon Musk & Flying Cars Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his Tesla Roadster, to be released in 2022, is a flying car when coupled with his SpaceX Rocket Thruster package option.  However, it flies for just a few seconds.  The SpaceX rocket thruster option package equips the electric sports car with ten, cold air, rocket thrusters strategically positioned around the vehicle.  The configuration enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.1 seconds.  That level of acceleration is historic and a record breaker.  Musk says the speed sensation is similar to that of a hardcore roller coaster.  He says "it's safe but very intense and not wise for those with a medical condition."
