Tesla has unveiled a new Roadster, the new version of its original sports car. It’s the fastest production car ever made, according to Elon us, with speeds of just 1.9 seconds for 0 to 60 4.2 seconds for 0 to 100. It can handle a quarter mile in 8.9 seconds.

“This is the base model,” Musk said, then went on to mention that its top speed is above 250 mph. and it has a 200 kWh battery pack that offers 630 miles of highway driving range.

If Tesla can successfully produce this car and satisfy the numbers Musk claims:

GAME OVER

This will change the way we think of performance cars. You can say bye-bye to the ICE not long from now.

Model 3 production problems be damned, I should probably have kept my TSLA stock. I wonder what it will open at tomorrow?

Of course all the questions remain:

Q: Can the grid keep up with an electric driving population?
A: It will have to and it will adapt because where there is profit, there is motivation.

Q: Will pollution get worse now that we need more energy to power the grid?
A: I don't think it can get worse. Best case is it gets better or stays the same. Figure fuel transportation and refinement and an electric car based infrastructure is still the better choice once we get the kinks worked out.

Q: Are there enough chargers to power an electric car population?
A: See first question's answer.
