The Tesla Roadster is an upcoming all-electric battery-powered four-seater all-wheel-drive sports car concept in development by Tesla. Inc. Tesla has claimed that it will be capable of 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 1.9 seconds, which would be quicker than any street-legal production car as of the announcement in 2017. The Roadster is the successor to Tesla's first production car, which was the 2008 Roadster.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that Roadster should ship in 2023. Musk said in a tweet that higher-performance trim levels will be available beyond the base specifications, including a SpaceX package which would "include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around the car" which would supposedly allow for dramatic improvements in "acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering".

Get the rasterbator mug.A skateboarding grind in which the back trucks grind while the nose of the board starts out pointing over the object and ends with the nose pointing away from the object.
This grind is a combination of a salad grind, and a suski grind. The rider transitions from one grind to the other.
The grind was originated by Brian El and was named after the sweeping effect seen on old radar displays.
