“This is the fastest production car ever made, period.”
The promise
Musk repeatedly promised an updated Tesla Roadster with extreme specs: 0–60 mph in about one second using cold gas thrusters, 600-mile range, and futuristic design. Unveiled in 2017 and delayed repeatedly, the car remains in prototype phase. Musk claims delivery “next year” for the seventh time. Fans view it as symbolic; critics see vaporware until proven.
