Tesla Roadster to Accelerate to 96kph in Less Than 1 Second, Claims Musk
New Delhi: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that the production version of the Tesla Roadster will be revealed later this year, with deliveries expected to begin in 2025. Musk has promised impressive performance figures for the electric sports car, including an astonishing acceleration. 0 to 96 kmph time of less than 1.0 seconds.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk said that the car’s specifications have been significantly enhanced, ensuring that “there will never be another car like it.” This bold claim suggests that the Tesla Roadster will set new standards in terms of acceleration and performance.
Initial specifications revealed during the car’s unveiling in 2017 indicated a 0-96 km/h acceleration of 1.9 seconds, making it one of the fastest-accelerating production cars at the time. Additionally, it has a top speed of over 400 kmph and an impressive range of around 998 km.

However, Musk’s recent announcement suggests even more astonishing performance capabilities, with the Roadster expected to achieve a 0-96kph sprint in less than 1.0 seconds. This will make it significantly faster than the current record holder Rimac Nevera, which claims to do 0-100 kmph in 1.95 seconds.
It’s worth noting that Tesla measures acceleration times “minus rollout”, which can affect the car’s performance compared to traditional acceleration tests.

Musk also mentioned that after several delays in the Roadster’s launch timeline, Tesla is aiming to begin deliveries in 2025. These delays were caused by supply chain disruptions and the widespread development of advanced powertrain and battery technologies.
With Musk’s ambitious claims and Tesla’s track record of pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle performance, the Tesla Roadster is set to redefine the standards of high-performance electric sports cars when it hits the roads in the coming years.
