Tesla turns to 50-year-old stunt technology as it tries to Roadster again

Nine years after its first attempt to revive the Roadster, Tesla is trying again, this time leaning on 50-year-old stunt technology to make the show car perform aerial tricks. CEO Elon Musk, who relocated Tesla's HQ to Texas, once again turned to California's entertainment industry to showcase the vehicle. The new Roadster's angular, wedge-shaped design draws inspiration from Giorgetto Giugiaro's original Lotus Esprit and the Lamborghini Gallardo. Four large rear exhaust pipes emit 100,000 psi jets of compressed nitrogen rather than hydrocarbons. The car remains rear-wheel drive and uses Tesla's troubled 4680 battery cells with a new chemistry developed specifically for this model. Musk claims a top speed of 383 mph (616 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 0.8 seconds, though competitors like the McMurtry Spéirling already exceed Tesla's 2 Gs of claimed performance with up to 3.5 lateral Gs and the ability to drive upside down.

The Roadster's dramatic styling nods to both classic and modern supercars, but its performance claims remain speculative. While Tesla touts revolutionary specs, real-world alternatives are already available.

Legal questions surround the use of compressed nitrogen jet exhaust on public roads, as current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Statutes offer no clear guidance.

Despite grand promises, the new Roadster faces stiff competition from purpose-built electric vehicles that are already in production and setting records.

九年后，特斯拉再次尝试复活Roadster，这次依靠50年前的特技技术，让展车能够进行空中特技。总裁Elon Musk搬迁总部至德克萨斯州，再次借助加利福尼亚的娱乐业来展示这款车辆。新款Roadster的锐角楔形设计灵感来自Giorgetto Giugiaro最初的Lotus Esprit以及兰博基尼Gallardo。四个大型后排气管喷射100,000 psi压缩氮气，而非烟烳。车辆仍为后轮驱动，采用特斯拉 troubled的4680电池芯片，采用新化学配方专为此型号开发。Musk声称时速可达383英里/小时（616公里/小时），0-60mph加速仅需0.8秒，尽管竞争对手如McMurtry Spéirling已超过特斯拉声称的2 Gs的表现，最高可达3.5 lateral Gs，甚至能够倒立驾驶。 Roadster的戏剧化造型致敬了经典和现代超级车，但其性能承诺仍属推测。尽管特斯拉宣称革命性规格，但现实中的替代品已然可用。 关于压缩氮气喷射排气在公共道路上的使用存在法律争议，因为现行联邦机动车安全法规尚未给出明确指导。 尽管承诺宏伟，但新款Roadster面临来自已在生产中设立纪录的针对性电动车的尖锐竞争。 关键实体：公司：特斯拉、McMurtry | 人物：Elon Musk、Giorgetto Giugiaro | 地点：德克萨斯州、加利福尼亚州
