TESLA ROADTSTER 2

did you really believe that fake news? All mfgs send partially completed cars to dealers for them to be fitted with special/newer components. It's not like they delivered cars to customers without seats - the cars get sent to a Tesla service center, get outfitted, then get sold

moron

Might be something fun to buy in 2040 when it comes out

triggered

check out that steering wheel

>giant fucking screen as the centre console
fucking dropped.
also its a convertible and im not a faggot lo.

what else would you like to have? Giant fucking screens are the future.

>RIP delicate steering control

What's with that weird space behind the screen though?

Is it just

A E S T H E T I C ?

Bullshit to literally all of these specs

you can electronically adjust the steering resistance and ratio you know

storage, and lots of it. If you watch one of the videos people took close up of it after the stream ended, it's pretty deep. I think it's neat

>he missed the part where they demonstrated the -60 on the stream, live

Veeky Forums on suicide watch

Didn't watch. There is no God damn way that thing hits 250. I guess the 0-60 and 0-100 I can believe, but 1/4 in 8.9 and veyron speeds? Fuck off.

b-bullshit!

>stage:denial

nah lad it's all real, this whole EV thing is happening and happening fast. We're entering a world where things seem impossible but are going to be routine soon.

remember, this thing has 7400ftlb of torque INSTANTLY. 250 should be easy for it. Elon even said that's definitely not it's max anyways. I'm guessing 290+

>7400 ft/lbs of torque
>Can't go faster than a veyron with 1/6th of that

Loving this Tesla Ponzi scheme

I may be in the minority here, but Tesla's designs are all fugly.

HP is your speed. Torque is how fast you can accelerate from your current speed. And horsepower curves at high rpm don't favor electric motors, and Tesla has been known to overpromise. These numbers are cool as fuck but let's be unrealistic.

How could you possible adjust it to get 900° of sensitive with a wheel that can only be turned 90-120°?

>We're entering a world where things seem impossible but are going to be routine soon.
kek 16 year-olds.

It's felt like that since the 60s

ooooh, I see your point. I bet they'll have a regular 3 spoke steering wheel as an option. But, things like F1 have the same design right?

perhaps with one less line on the side it would be perfect for me. Think it's fine as-is though

>$200,000

I didn't want one anyway

And yet engine design has stagnated or even regressed since the late 80's.
EV, or more accurately lithium battery tech, is a massive leap in the motor world.

>And yet engine design has stagnated or even regressed since the late 80's.

Didn't think it was possible to be this brainlet

>stagnated or regressed since the late 80s
Lol fuck off m8.

Ask F1 drivers how they manage.

Also Veeky Forums on suicide watch

oh god, that oatmeal faggot has found Veeky Forums

Yeah but you don't have to park an F1 car, as far as I know they have very limited lock. But I suppose with modern tech they probably have some fancy shit where it becomes more sensitive at low speeds for parking.

I like a full 900° though.

grey one

>all those soyboys in the background

The techie culture is the worst part about Tesla

...

All the Tesla 3 promises are missed by a year, production promises half since been halved. A pyramid scheme relies on hype and new promises to keep raking in cash from retards. How does anyone not see a pattern here?

lots of the people that are there are journalists or people who got a bunch of Tesla referrals

By A. Being good fucking drivers and B. Not needing to park. Trust the average normie with an F1 steering ratio. Go ahead.

>1998 3SGE: CR 11.5 - 1
>210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp) at 7,600 rpm and 22.0 kg·m (216 N·m) at 6,400 rpm

>2012 4UGSE: CR 12.5 - 1
>203 PS (149 kW; 200 hp) at 7000 rpm and 205 N·m (151 lb·ft) at 6600 rpm

I'm not seeing a great advancement brahs.

there in in terms of emissions :^)

nice

What about fuel economy? Longevity? Cost of manufacture?

Hence the
>regressed

Engines have gotten slower thanks to emission laws.

Average normies won't be able to afford one of these.

What are they benchracing about
>1.9 seconds
>smack down to gas cars
Lingenfelter/chevy and ford have been doing that since the early 2000s kek

>nitpicking like this

Original convo was about performance.
But I doubt modern throwaway cars have better longevity than 80s-90s quality cars. And if cost of manufacturing comes down as a result of lower quality I wouldn't call that an advancement.
Example:
>look under the rear end of modern econobox
>live swing axle
Base model Corollas were running multi-link IRS 30 years ago! You would think independent suspension would be standard now.

>dumbasses over at tesla still think zero to 60 is what crowns the ultimate car

Their Lap times will probably suck cock anyways.

How long before it does a lap at the ring?

THE END.

with 200kwh packs and a performance-first design, it won't go into limp mode at all.

Also,

>complaining about a 1.9 sec 0-60
lmao

he didn't demo any of it

its all just hot air until I see it hitting those numbers irl

You could have several of these, all in your favorite gay colors or whatever you're into, for the price of a veyron tho

Ugly

there are a billion livestreams of people being demo'd the roadster 1.9 launch right now, retard. also, they showed the acceleration off in the actual livestream

isn't it great being a deluded icecuck?

Reminds me of the 918

See

link? proofs?

youtube.com/watch?v=aXWfL-1ieuE

just missed one, go back a minute in the stream

they've been doing 0-70mph 1.9 runs for a good 20 min now with the one prototype

ahh, that stream won't let you rewind for some reason sorry

there are a bunch of other ones on YT/periscope

so that's one spec

what about the 1000km range? the 8.9 sec 1/4 mile?

never mind,here it is youtu.be/aXWfL-1ieuE?t=57m

How does it feel to think you know stuff, when you're actually completely wrong?

Didn't trump cut Tesla's subsidies?

this boi got wheels on his goalposts lmao

no. The EV credit is no longer in the house budget that just passed, but it is still in the senate budget. It'll stay in when they reconcile

>convertible.
It's a targa which is objectively the best type of convertible.

It's still ugly.
It's still a one trick pony.
It's still a one trip pony.

yep jej

desu if you can engineer 1.9s 0-60 you can engineer a 1000km range too... I don't doubt the specs at all

The biggest knock against the p100d was that it couldn't do repeated ludicrous mode pulls without running out of battery. And here we have this thing going even faster on test drive after test drive after test drive for over an hour in live streams without losing a beat. I fucking love it.

Thanks mate, been looking all over youtube for a vid, looks intense!

You can drive from San Francisco to LA and back without recharging it.

Wish the guy didn't have a heart attack as soon as it started but not bad.

How many trips do you take over 600 miles? In your supercar? Without stopping for gas? Why are you so mad right now?

Doubt its faster than my 86

>nothing inherently wrong with the design, so that's just your taste and not some design flaw
>same tricks as any other roadster
>a trip longer than the cars it rivals

So can every gasoline car for that matter and I'll have $190 000 left for gas money
Several a year. Ski trips, drove my grandfather's car to Florida. Neither are supercars but neither is the roadster.
I have better taste than you all and can spend your money on better things. I don't think a Prius is really is rival so comparing it to a conventional electric is silly

>"wheel"
news flash: that shit is terrible for driving a car with.

>1.9s car isnt a supercar
lol
>I take 600+ mile trips without stopping
lolol
>I have better taste than you all
ok now you're just trolling

soyboy central

How many middle-aged bald guys were actually in the audience? Did they advertise the announcement at the local fertility clinics?

>specs showing literally the fastest car of all time in 0-60 and quarter-mile
>it's not a supercar
okay
just a grocery-getter amirite

actually yeah. plenty of room in the rear seats for groceries

Bet there won't be a frunk though, which is a shame. motors must be huge

>moron
RIP to no more m/t with clutch

So every drag car in the USA is also a hypercar because they accelerate fast?

>I'm an idiot?

I can't wait for the Church of Musk to try shoving their shit down my throat even harder.

streamable.com/0e3c5

Not even a Tesla hater but until they prove its cornering ability it's not a supercar. The Model S P100D accelerates like one but it too is not. Even the Dodge Demon isn't a supercar despite accelerating faster than any of them to 60 and in the 1/4. Now that you can't blame on salty ICEcucks.
I would call it an exotic though, as long as they don't make too many of em.

I dunno guys, I still think I could take it in my EG hatch.

got any mods for it user?

they show a little bit of cornering in

I think visuals are important too. Neither the S or the Demon have the supercar 'look'
Roadster looks good, though.

Yeah, but only a couple.
