Once again, Elon Musk is making waves, using Twitter to unveil some of his forthcoming plans.
The renowned tech mogul, Elon Musk, announced via Twitter on Wednesday (February 28), revealing an upcoming collaboration between two of his ventures, Tesla and SpaceX, for his next automotive project.
Elon Musk left several users shocked after revealing that the new Tesla Roadster can reach 0–60 mph in less than one second
Known for his bold statements on social media, Musk confidently asserted that Tesla's upcoming Roadster will be nothing short of groundbreaking.
In a cryptic initial post, Musk teased the idea of whether the finished Roadster could even be classified as a traditional car.
“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,” Musk declared in his tweet.
“Production design complete and unveil end of year, aiming to ship next year. I think it has a shot at being the most mind-blowing product demo of all time,” he added in follow up posts.
He must even reply to his followers below the post, creating an air of mystery for the new product.
One user queried whether the car would achieve 0–60 mph in about 1 second with the fastest specification.
The unconventional billionaire confidently affirmed that it would accomplish 0-60MPH in under a second and remarked, "that is the least interesting part."
An audacious fan half-jokingly inquired if the car would have flying capabilities, to which Musk responded with enigmatic emoji eyes.
One person said: Im happy for your new Roadster design. But ... BEHOLD ... I created something even better. We will get to Mars faster than ever before!
A Second wrote: You're making a literal rocket on wheels aren't you.
While a third commented: This is going to make sports cars feel like family SUVs
Someone else said: I’m excited to drive this thing to Mars
This vehicle, intended as a sequel to the 2008 Tesla Roadster, was originally scheduled for release earlier.
Initially announced in 2017, production was slated to commence in 2020, later postponed to 2022, then 2023. Musk now asserts it will be revealed later this year and become available in 2025.
Undeniably, bringing a car to market is a complex endeavor, and it might be premature to jump on the Roadster hype train.
Furthermore, Musk tends to occasionally overpromise his products.
The Tesla founder faced scrutiny previously when he claimed the Cybertruck would be "waterproof enough to briefly serve as a boat, allowing it to traverse rivers, lakes, and even relatively calm seas."
