Will 2021 be the year?
The refreshed 2021 Tesla Model S and Model X aren t the only vehicles from the EV carmaker to feature that weird, if not outright completely unnecessary, steering yoke. Does anyone remember the second-generation Tesla Roadster? Of course you do, but since the concept was revealed back in November 2017, its production start date has been pushed back more than once, despite the fact Tesla immediately began accepting $50,000 deposits. And now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed another delay. Musk was asked on Twitter the other day about the new Roadster s status and his reply was straightforward: Finishing engineering this year, production starts next year. Aiming to have release candidate design drivable late summer. Tri-motor drive system & advanced battery work were important precursors.
