The Tesla Roadster Is BS

From the creator

Tesla just unveiled a new Roadster that can drive upside down, launch itself into the air, and kick flip over cars like it's Tony Hawk or something. It's genuinely one of the coolest automotive demonstrations I've ever seen, but it's also complete B.S.

In this Fuel For Thought, I’m breaking down the new Tesla Roadster's outrageous technical specifications, its SpaceX cold-gas thrusters, its unbelievable acceleration claims, the differences between its three variants, and the engineering behind its gravity-defying stunts. How did we end up here, when the original Roadster promise included 620-mile range and a four-seat configuration? I'll also talk about price and the positively absurd $50,000 and $250,000 reservations Tesla is accepting without guaranteed delivery dates. How do Elon Musk and Tesla keep building hype for futuristic vehicles? Is the new Roadster genuinely the future of automotive performance, or has Tesla turned the world's most mind-blowing electric sports car into an 11-year experiment in how far they can move goalposts?
