Second generation Roadster has been in recent years in product launches Tesla pushed the market somewhat into the background. Instead, the company prioritized model launches Seeds in Cybertruck. This is understandable, as the said duo should have brought more money to the company, but almost six years have passed since it was Tesla Roadster 2.0 presented to the public for the first time.
At the presentation December 2017 Tesla said that they will launch this model on the market in the year 2020, which means that they are now almost three years late. In 2020, he was Roadster postponed to 2021, and so it continued in the following years. Lastly 2022. Now, finally, good news, because the wait is about to end, because he plans to Tesla complete development and design Roadster until the end of this year, as the boss himself said Elon Musk. At a recent meeting of Tesla shareholders said the automaker will "hopefully" put the vehicle into production next year.
During the session questions and answers one investor asked Amulet, When will it be Roadster finally hit the market, and Musk responded that he would delay the car's launch for another year, with the hope of 2024. And then he jokingly answers: "A perfectly legitimate question. Where is this thing? We expect, that this year we will finish the development and design of the next generation Roadster and hopefully - this is not a commitment - that we will start production next year.” While the world is used to it Musk's unreliable product timelines, there might be something to it this time, as he was sure that they would finish the development and design this year. It is also expected that it will Tesla started serial production of models by 2024 Cybertruck in Seeds, which would allow the manufacturer to focus on next year Roadster.
Musk he also drew attention to the importance of the vehicle for Tesla's earnings, which he considers modest. "It's not even the icing on the cake, it's the icing on top of the cake, so it's definitely not going to contribute much to sales and it's going to make a modest contribution to the profitability of the company, but it's going to be a sick affair,” so Musk about Roadster. This statement is not far from the truth, as they are production series Hello cars, such as the Tesla Roadster, usually small, the number of buyers willing to pay more than $ 200.000 for the Roadster, and not much either.
