Turbo Electric!

The Tesla Roadster electric super car will be a new addition to the Tesla lineup for 2023 when it eventually enters production, resurrecting the nameplate worn by the company’s first model back in 2008.

The 200-kWh battery is said to provide up to 615 miles of range, but certainly that number will be achievable only under very light use; challenging the track for some hot laps will reduce that estimate in this supercar.

For now, the Roadster is a concept, and in general, concepts change drastically during their development into production models. As shown, the Roadster concept features a removable glass-panel roof, which you can stow in the trunk. It has four seats, but the rear ones look as though they may not fit everyone, given the Roadster’s dramatically angled roofline. Other than that, we expect to see Tesla’s signature minimalist interior design repeated here.

In the concept’s design, a large touchscreen extends from the top of the dash all the way to the center console, with a cubby underneath it for storage. No vehicle in Tesla’s lineup offers services such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Amazon Alexa compatibility, and that may be the case with the Roadster.

Tesla will most likely provide an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, Spotify integration, and a host of visual entertainment apps such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube to keep drivers entertained while parked and charging. Super fun!
