Tesla enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Roadster with no word on when such a vehicle would become a reality until today as Elon Musk’s recent tweets have reignited excitement, albeit with a hint of skepticism. Musk claims that the Roadster is on track for deliveries in 2025, aligning with the company’s current production goals. However, given Tesla’s track record of shifting timelines, some remain cautious.
One of the most eye-catching claims is the Roadster’s acceleration, with Musk boasting that it will achieve 0-60 mph in under one second. This bold assertion surpasses previous targets set by Tesla and challenges the limits of electric sports car performance. Musk’s mention of a potential flying capability, although reminiscent of past ambitious statements, adds to the intrigue surrounding the Roadster. Still, under 1 second to 60 mph will probably hurt a little for some people or at least some will pass out with such force. That’s beyond ludacris!
Tonight, we radically increased the design goals for the new Tesla Roadster.
There will never be another car like this, if you could even call it a car.

The collaboration with SpaceX adds another layer of fascination to the Roadster project, hinting at innovative features beyond just speed. While acceleration is highlighted, Musk suggests that there’s more to the Roadster than sheer performance, teasing a “mind-blowing product demo.”
Despite the enthusiasm, skepticism remains regarding Tesla’s ability to deliver on time. The company has a history of shifting priorities and delayed launches. However, with other projects like the Model 3 and Cybertruck making progress, there’s hope that Tesla can streamline its operations and focus on perfecting the Roadster without significant delays.
While Musk’s claims about the Roadster are undeniably ambitious, the Tesla community awaits eagerly for the promised reveal and eventual delivery, hoping that this time, the Roadster will indeed hit the roads in 2025, delivering on its groundbreaking performance promises. We just wonder how much it will cost for such unheard-of performance.
