I'm Erik (also known as DÆrik 😉 ). I have a problem.....
I ♥️ #tesla . No problem at all. 😁😁😁
Heated seats! LETS GO! 👏 Lol. All jokes aside. This thing is bad ass.
New Tesla Roadster info from the videos below:
• Bespoke 4680 battery cell just for Roadster. Tesla's fastest charging battery, 15-80% charge in 10 mins.
• Tesla wants to get to a <30 minute COPV tank refilling time, which will last ~5 seconds (single use before you have to refill it).
• COPV uses an actuator from Tesla's Optimus robot
• Roadster is capable of 0-60mph time of 0.55 seconds
• 310-320 mile range
• Up to 1,500 hp
• Two motors, both on the rear axel
• 10,000 psi COPV
• 330+ mph top speed target
• Rocket trim will be limited production
• Almost every panel of the car moves in some way
• Roadster is 2 meters wide
• The pedals move for driver comfort. Seats are fixed
• Brake-by-wire (and steer-by-wire)
• Wireless phone charger
• Heated seats
• Next-gen heat pump
• Tesla's thinnest headlights ever
• Rear-wheel drive only, with 2 rear motors making 1+ megawatt & 1,400+ Nm, more than all 3 Plaid motors combined
• No differential: each rear wheel is controlled independently through 8.4:1 planetary gears, with its own inverter
• New 4680 cells with a special high-power chemistry, aluminum cans (instead of steel) & double-sided cooling
• Titanium upper battery plate + aluminum lower plate
• 800V architecture (same as Cybertruck & Semi)
• 15-80% charge in 10 minutes, Tesla's fastest-charging battery ever
• 300+ miles of range (battery size not disclosed)
• Target of 25-30 minutes of unlimited track driving per charge
• Weight just under 1,700 kg or 3,700 lbs (not final)
• Double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear, adaptive dampers
• Track Mode lowers the car 40mm & makes it 3x stiffer
• Pop-down headlights only ~15mm tall
• Front wings move up to 80°, with pop-out side "scales" (barge boards) & an active hood vent
• 4 rear fans (~20 kW each) + 4 drop-down side skirts form a "sucker system" for 2+ g of cornering from 0-50 mph
• Skirts are replaceable rubber & nylon-bristle wear parts
• Orange-tinted titanium-oxide rear glass, as used on aircraft
• Removable roof panels
• 4-5 prototypes built so far, with a bigger build planned early next year
• Tesla calls it "the last great driver's car"
I love my job. But I'd give it all up to be part of a team to come up with this 🤯 absolutely phenomenal!
Let's talk about the 0-60 time...
The current record holder for a production road-legal car is the Rimac Nevera R with a time of 1.6 seconds.
@Tesla roadster lists the Thrust model will be a road-legal version doing 0-60 in <0.9 seconds. They just HALVED the current record and knowing Tesla, they will make it even faster before officially released..
Btw, the Rocket model will be <0.59 second 0-60mph... 🤯 This will not be a road legal version but will provide full flight for it's single occupant. Only for purchase by invite only.
The @tesla x @SpaceX collaboration has produced something no one ever thought possible. Tesla's recent patents on the suction abilities and SpaceX thrusters (that made the first production reusable rocket) come together to give the ultimate SMACKDOWN to everyone. This is what we wanted out of the roadster and it was delivered more than anyone expected! Congratulations to the teams that made this possible. I can only imagine how it feels to unveil this to the world. 👏👏👏
The previous version of the roadster looked beautiful. But the new version looks even better imo. Very cyber-esque & futuristic. I love it.
The Tesla Model YL is SOOO efficient. I'm 37.6Wh/mi UNDER the rated consumption over the past 200 miles.. at 70% battery my projected range is 272 miles which works out to 388 miles at 100% charge 😱. Phenomenal job to the engineers!
Special Announcement! We teamed up with @Abstract_Ocean so you can get some awesome Tesla accessories (the matte screen protector is a MUST have) and some ducks! This is a win/win so you can save on shipping for multiple items. Our webpage redirects to theirs for easy ordering. 😎
What was originally a joke has officially turned into the first "DÆrik" branded product.
Some jeep owning friends got Cybertrucks, as one should, and we were all talking one night how they had ducks that they would leave on each others vehicles and have fun with. That got me thinking that us Cybertruck/Tesla owners don't have anything. So I set out to design something fun for us Tesla owners. I designed, prototyped, had molds made, and had these produced to be the same quality of normal rubber ducks, but with a cool Cyber look! These are not 3D printed, but real rubber ducks.
Anyway, if you see us out and about, at events, etc, ask us for one! If you want to buy any, I'll drop the link below ;)

Our new YL Launch Series is HOME! This is our 20th Tesla over the past 10 years of owning Teslas. It is AMAZING! All the major and minor changes yield an amazing vehicle. Job well done to everyone at Tesla. I still love my Cybertruck but this might become my new daily driver 🫣 or at least alternating days 🤣 Videos incoming!
Tesla Model YL update... WE HAVE A VIN! Estimated delivery still says September 21-30. Perhaps it'll be ready sooner though.
Model YL launch update. My estimated delivery dates shifted back another week. 😭 Everything fine, I'm holding it together.
