By hiding the Roadster on the website, Tesla scared those who paid the $ 250,000 bail
Initially, the Tesla Roadster sports electric car was supposed to be released in 2020, but now its mass production is scheduled to begin in 2022. This does not prevent the company from collecting prepayment, the amount of which varies from 50 to 250 thousand US dollars. Recently, the Tesla Roadster section of the Tesla website changed its location to a less conspicuous one, which caused anxiety among customers.
One blogger reported that the Tesla homepage no longer links to the Roadster section. Elon Musk was quick to announce that this change was made in error and the section will soon be restored. In further correspondence on Twitter, he explained that the Roadster’s description and pre-order page had simply moved to the sidebar from the home page until mass production of the model began. This will happen, if we rely on the July statements of company representatives, no earlier than the second half of next year. The Tesla Roadster is to be produced at the brand’s oldest facility in California.
Recall that the Tesla Roadster is capable of taking on board four people, it accelerates to hundreds of kilometers per hour in less than two seconds, the maximum speed exceeds 400 km / h, and the power reserve on a single charge is close to 1000 km. The drive will be in any case for all wheels, and the base price of an electric car is $ 200,000. The minimum prepayment amount is $ 50,000, but those wishing to get an electric car from the first batch of a thousand copies must pay $ 250,000 now. It’s easy to see why Tesla’s depositors were freaked out by the disappearance of the profile section from the company’s home page.
