A closer look at “Tesla's New Roadster: $250,000 Reservation for Electric Supercar with Cold-Gas Thrusters”, exactly as the source publishes it. Tesla has officially unveiled its next-generation Roadster, and it comes with a stunning option: cold-gas thrusters. The electric supercar, which has been years in the making, is now open for reservations at a staggering $250,000 just to secure a build slot. The base price is expected to be even higher, making it one of the most expensive production cars from a mainstream automaker.
The cold-gas thruster package, inspired by SpaceX technology, is designed to improve acceleration, braking, and cornering. Musk has previously claimed the thrusters could allow the Roadster to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 1 second, though that figure remains unverified. The thrusters use compressed air, so they don't require combustible fuel, but they add complexity and weight. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
