What’s So Cool About It?

Musk says by the end of this year, we’ll see what the Roadster looks like, and they’ll start sending them out in 2025. The Roadster is a bit different from what you might think. It’s got four seats and a roof you can take off, not just a two-seater like most sports cars. When they first showed it off in 2017, they said it could go super far without needing a charge, get really fast in just a couple of seconds, and go faster than most cars. Now, Musk is saying it’ll go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than a second, which he thinks is just the beginning of what makes this car cool.

Space Rockets on a Car!

Musk also says the Roadster will work with his space company, SpaceX, to add rocket thrusters. Yes, you heard that right—rockets on a car. These rockets will make the car go even faster, stop quicker, and maybe even fly. It sounds like something out of a movie!

Want One? It’ll Cost You

If you’re thinking about getting one, start saving. The starting price is $200,000, and a special version costs $250,000. You have to put down a lot of money just to say you want one, and then pay even more after that. Tesla says you can get your money back if you change your mind, but they haven’t said how much the Roadster will end up costing in total.
