The NEW Tesla Roadster: My Honest Reaction

Video summary

Tesla’s redesigned Roadster promises 1.6-second 0–60 acceleration, while its invite-only Rocket version claims 0.6 seconds and flying-car stunts.

Tesla unveiled a radically redesigned Roadster with wall-climbing, upside-down driving, flips and a claimed 0.6-second 0–60 stunt, but the presenter says the spectacle obscured the product details. Four versions are described: a base model, a Performance trim with a McMurtry-style fan system and 1.6-second 0–60, a Thrust model adding 10,000-PSI nitrogen thrusters, and an invite-only Rocket version with six extra thrusters, a 400-liter tank and no public-road approval. The presenter questions legality, debris, noise and crash safety, and notes the thrust lasts only seconds and may take six to seven hours to refill. Less-publicized specifications include carbon-fiber panels, under-1,700-kg weight, rear-wheel drive, 1,300 horsepower, 300-plus miles of range, 500-kW charging and 25–30 minutes of track use. Tesla promises delivery in 2028, but its reservation agreement guarantees neither a delivery date nor delivery at all. The presenter sees the event as an engineering feat and marketing stunt, while doubting the Roadster is a company priority.
