Lighter tires as rolling at 400kph+ is not a requirement and a fraction of the interiors

• gsnedders 9y ago
  The top speed is quoted as being in excess of 400km/h? They have the same problem with speed rating of the tyres. I'm also curious as to how much it will weigh given the batteries (given the weight of other Teslas).

    one is a real car however, the other a rendering. I don't expect figures to change drastically from the brochure, but still.

      The new Roadster is definitely real, not a render. They were driving them around, at speed, and showing off the acceleration, at the announcement!

        Doesn’t mean much. They had to replace a lot of stuff between the presented and production model x, like the door hinges, because from prototype to reality there’s an abyss, especially for a car that’s supposed to sustain thise speeds.
