“It’s like dessert”: Elon Musk talks about the arrival of Tesla’s highly anticipated Roadster supercar, which won’t be very soon

Between the calculations of the automaker was scheduled to start production for this year and Cybertruck for 2021. However, it seems that plans have changed.

Elon Musk revealed this week his automaker’s plans for the arrival of the new version of the Tesla Roadster electric car.

During his talk this Thursday on the program ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, the magnate did not reveal a specific date for the launch of the sports car, but assured that it will be delayed because Tesla will give priority to other projects.

As he explained, among the company’s short-term objectives is to increase the production of the Model Y electric SUV, complete the construction of the Gigafactory that will open in Berlin (Germany) and expand the plant in Shanghai.


The Roadster is a bit like dessert. That means we have to have the meat, the potatoes, the vegetables before, “he said.

Musk said they will first work on the production of the Cybertruck and Semi electric truck. The development of some “ingredients” of the Roadster have yet to be finalized, including that of a more “advanced” powertrain, said the businessman.

The second generation of the Tesla Roadster was announced in 2017 with an impressive prototype and under the promise that it would be a high-performance sports car, but in June 2019 Musk made it clear that it would not be a close reality.

Among the automaker’s calculations, production was scheduled to start this year and that of Cybertruck in 2021. However, the new change in plans, prompted in part by the current health crisis, seems to seek to generate income with other ranges that possibly sell much better for price reasons.
