According to Elon Musk, one should forget about the efficiency myth of internal combustion engines for the sake of the full and widespread introduction of electric vehicles. The main indicators of attracting users to gasoline engines include speed characteristics and acceleration time to 100 km/h. Future Tesla models will be able to compete with the most powerful ICE cars according to these indicators, and even surpass them in the top-end configuration.
New Tesla electric cars in the Roadster lineup, the presentation of which took place back in 2017, will be delivered both in the standard and special configuration called SpaceX. Standard Tesla Roadster will provide the ability to reach a maximum speed of 402 km/h and acceleration time to 100 km/h in just 1.9 seconds.
According to Musk, the flagship of Tesla Roadster model in the SpaceX configuration will use the rocket technology, which will provide an even more impressive performance. Insiders suspect that the acceleration time to 100 km/h in the new Tesla will be only 1.1 seconds.
