Elon Musk first announced the second-generation Tesla Roadster in November 2017, and shortly after, he revealed the SpaceX package, which includes 10 small cold gas thrusters installed around the car. What if there was a Model S Plaid Edition equivalent for the new Roadster? It might look something like the Tesla LM. If this were paired with the upgrades in the SpaceX package, you’d definitely see vast improvements in acceleration, top speed, braking and cornering.
Now how much would something like this cost? Well, the base model of the new Roadster retails at $200,000 USD, with the first 1,000 made being Founder’s Series at $250,000. So, it’s safe to say that a Tesla LM would most likely set you back at least $500,000. Unfortunately, production for the base model isn’t set to begin until mid-to-late 2021, so a track-only model may not see the light of day until at least late 2022.
