The Tesla Roadster was released in 2008 with a price range starting from $109,000. With a acceleration of 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. This meant that it rivalled cars such as the BMW Z4 M40i and the Toyota GR Supra Launch Edition. This also meant that it was only 0.2 seconds slower than the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera and 0.1 second slower than the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. This was research done in 2019 so it shows even 11 years earlier and being the world’s first electric sports car, it was very good. This shows tesla’s innovation with technology and how far ahead they were. 

Next to be released was the model X unveiled in 2012. It was the first fully electric SUV. It started of with 6 to 7 seats but after a few thousand sales of them Tesla started making them 5 seats. These seats were able to be folded to allow more storage. As well as this there is 88 cubic feet of storage in the car. The car high horsepower also means that it can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the 22” wheel and up to 5,000 pounds with the 20” wheels which is equivalent to 36.5 fully grown people. The range of the model X long range is 360.4 on a full charge and the plaid model as a range of 339.9 miles. In comparison to the average millage of an SUV which is 400 miles, but you would also have to consider it being the first electric SUV and now it has improved a lot. It is also the fastest SUV to this day that has been widely manufactured.

Now to talk about the new tesla roadster. This car is stated to be released in 2023 due t oCovid-19 it as delayed from its original release in 2020 and is said to be the world’s fastest car with a 0-60 time of 1.9 seconds and from 0-100 in 4.2 only 3 seconds of the old roadsters 0-60 time. As well as this it has a top speed of over 250mph. it also having three motors meaning a fully synchronised 4-wheel drive allowing good control and improved traction. It is also Tesla’s latest autonomous driving technology that has eight cameras for full 360-degree visibility, that extends to a whopping 800 feet. With a forward-facing radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors, it may just be the safest car ever. It is also said to have a range of 620 miles, but this is still not confirmed as the car has not been released yet.
