The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric four-seater sports car planned to be built by Tesla, Inc. The company claimed it will be capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, which would have been quicker than any street legal production car at the date of its announcement in November 2017. The Roadster would be the successor to Tesla's first production car, the 2008 Roadster.
Originally set to start production in 2020 with 10,000 units, the release has been delayed multiple times. In October 2024, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Roadster would begin production in 2025. Musk said that higher-performance trim levels will be available beyond the base specification.
