Pretty much every Tesla product that has been promised or announced has been delivered, albeit late. I don't know why you would expect this one to be a dupe.
- jbverschoor 3y agoProjection of failed promises of other concept cars
- addicted 3y agoLate and rarely doing what was promised. The Cybertruck, for example was supposed to have a range of nearly 1000 miles.
- epgui 3y agoNo, it was supposed to have a range of ~500 miles. Instead, the longer range version will have a (EPA) range of 440 miles. Admittedly many will still be disappointed by the difference, but not nearly as much as you're suggesting.
- starbase 3y ago440 is the high-powered version with big battery option. long range goes 470 with the same pack
- avalys 3y agoThe Roadster 2.0 seems unlikely to ever ship at this point. And they took $50,000 deposits for it or something. FSD is unlikely to ever ship as promised.
- epgui 3y agoThey're still working on both, so your "unlikely" is pure speculation at best.
- avalys 3y agoThey announced the Roadster 7 years ago. I would say this falls squarely in the camp of "not delivered". 7 years is an entire model generation for the broader car industry. Other manufacturers have announced, delivered, and announced the next version of cars within this time period. Your statement amounts to "They've delivered everything they've announced except the things they've announced and never delivered".
- epgui 3y ago> 7 years is an entire model generation for the broader car industry Sure, and I understand the disappointment and impatience, but Tesla is not exactly positioning themselves as a conventional player in the car industry either. I don't think they care too much about following traditional timelines. The only thing they care about is "accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy" (their mission statement).
