Teknikmobil.com – It seems that Elon Musk’s team is able to work very optimally. In fact, they often point out limits that were previously thought to be insurmountable. One of the highlights of their work was a statement by Tesla’s Chief Designer indicating that production of the Tesla Roadster would exceed the targeted prototype.
Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen recently appeared on Tesla enthusiast Ryan McCaffrey’s podcast. In his appearance, he provided several main overviews of the design process from the initial Model S to the next gen Roadster which will be coming soon.
The title “Hello” Tesla provides a lot of information about how Tesla cars might be designed, especially the Roadster. von Holzhausen said that electric supercars have been in the process of evolution since they were launched. He added that the current changes will mean that Tesla Roadster production will surpass the prototype released last year.

“It is fitting that it should develop so; Such development requires more time. And it will be better than what we have revealed. In every way,” said Franz.
We need to remember the specifications of the next gen Tesla Roadster that were announced at its unveiling. This is interesting when related to Franz’s statement. The next gen Tesla Roadster was introduced with specifications that are considered ‘crazy’. The car will have a 0-60 mph time of just 1.9 seconds, a top speed of over 250 mph, with a range of no less than 1,000 km on a 200 kWh battery.
These specifications actually put this car at the forefront of the competition. Even to compete with car manufacturers that are famous for their performance, such as Porsche. Of course in the electric car category.
The ‘crazy’ idea of a next gen Roadster seems very extreme and tends to be ridiculous. A ‘silly’ idea it seems. But Tesla has a good reputation for ideas. If we remember about the beginning of the Model 3 . When first introduced, this electric car, which had just received official permission to be produced in China, had a 0-60 mph time of “less than 6 seconds”. But the result is only 5.6 seconds. This is even faster than the BMW 730d M-Sport.
If you reflect on this experience, it is not even impossible that the next gen Tesla Roadster will be ‘crazier’ than its initial introduction. And to be honest, this doesn’t seem fair to other car manufacturers who initially produced internal combustion cars. But whatever it is, it needs real proof. In the world of science, everything needs scientific proof so that it does not become a mathematical framework that has no physical meaning at all.
