Tesla has brought the second-generation Roadster back into the spotlight, an electric supercar designed for blistering acceleration, a top speed above 400 km/h and a claimed range of around 1,000 kilometres. Announced in 2017, the project aims to stand out even among today’s battery-powered sports cars.
