THE NEW TESLA ROADSTER IS GETTING OLD - TIMELINE EXPLAINED

EV Channels Review

The video critically examines the prolonged and repeatedly delayed timeline of the Tesla Roadster, which was initially unveiled in late 2017 with ambitious performance and range targets. The presenter expresses significant skepticism and frustration over the numerous missed production deadlines, questioning Elon Musk's promises, especially given that reservations are still being taken. While acknowledging Tesla's history of eventually delivering vehicles, the extended delays and lack of concrete updates for the Roadster are highlighted as a departure from their usual product launches. The presenter suggests that the Roadster should be Tesla's priority, potentially replacing the polarizing Cybertruck as the brand's halo vehicle, and argues that Tesla's current performance dynamics lag behind competitors. The video also touches upon similar issues with other automakers, like Rivian, teasing products years in advance. Ultimately, the presenter hopes for the Roadster's release but remains doubtful, even contemplating legal action due to the financial commitments made by reservation holders.
