Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk claims that the Tesla Roadster, which he plans to unveil by the end of 2024, can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than a second. The current record holder for a production car's fastest 0-60 mph is the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, which can do it in 1.66 seconds. If Musk's claims are true, the Tesla Roadster will be faster than the speed of sound. Tesla aims to ship the car in 2025, four years after its original 2020 target.
