Issues with the car’s ‘tri-motor drive system and advanced battery work’ are to blame for the holdup, according to Elon Musk.
Billed as the “fastest production car ever made,” the Roadster will reportedly accelerate from 0-100km/h in approximately 2.0 seconds – for context, the quickest production car currently on sale is the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which takes an estimated 2.4 seconds to reach the same speed.
CarAdvice understands the production variant of the Roadster will have four seats, a detachable roof, a 200kWh battery pack, and a claimed range of 1000km.
According to Tesla, the vehicle’s top speed will be in excess of 400km/h.
Pricing is yet to be announced, however Australians can currently put a $66,000 fully refundable deposit on the vehicle.
