Why the Tesla Roadster Will Fail

In 2017, Tesla promised a 1.9-second, 620-mile Roadster by 2020 and took $250,000 up front from its first 1,000 Founders Series buyers. Nine years later, the car flew over a Cybertruck on stage. Production: 2028. Price: unknown. In this video we break down why the Roadster is built on the same idea that sank the Cybertruck, and make a prediction you can hold us to: by the end of 2028, Tesla will not have delivered even 1,000 Roadsters. Think we're wrong? Tell us why in the comments. We'll come back to this in 2028.
