The Tesla Roadster Finally Dropped and Nobody Is Ready
Okay so boom. The Tesla Roadster went from "vaporware meme" to "wait hold on, this might actually be real" and the internet is SPIRALING. π
Let me catch you up if you've been living under a rock, under a different rock, and under a third rock.
Back in 2017, Elon rolled this thing out on the back of a semi truck at a Tesla event and dropped numbers so unhinged that people genuinely thought he was joking. 1.9 seconds to 60. Over 620 miles of range. Top speed above 250 mph. Four seats. A base price around $200,000 with a $50,000 deposit just to hold your spot.
π― Read that again. 1.9 seconds.
For context, that's quicker than basically every production car that has ever existed, including stuff that costs more than a house in Ohio.
And then?
Nothing. For years. The Roadster became the internet's favorite punchline. Every single year it was "production next year." Every single year we got a Cybertruck update instead. π
