Tesla Global News #5

🏎️💨 Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently provided several significant updates regarding the next-generation Roadster. Musk announced that Tesla aims to unveil the forthcoming all-electric supercar later this year, revealing intriguing details about the vehicle. Notably, the new Roadster will be a collaborative effort between Musk's two flagship companies, Tesla and SpaceX.

🔋Despite its initial unveiling alongside the Tesla Semi in late 2017 with a projected availability date of 2020, the release of the next-generation Roadster has been repeatedly delayed. However, with the Cybertruck now in production and Tesla focusing on its next-generation platform, it seems that the company is finally prioritizing the release of the new Roadster.

Throughout the years, Musk's statements about the vehicle have become increasingly ambitious. He has suggested that the supercar may have the capability to perform short "hops" by incorporating rocket technology from SpaceX into a dedicated package for the car.

Recent tweets from Musk regarding the new Roadster indicate that the CEO remains committed to his ambitious vision for Tesla's flagship vehicle. Musk revealed that Tesla has significantly elevated the design aspirations for the next-generation Roadster. Furthermore, he emphasised that the vehicle, born from a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX, defies conventional categorisation as a mere car. According to Musk, there will never be another vehicle quite like the new Roadster.

In subsequent posts, Musk hinted that the planned unveiling of the new Tesla Roadster could potentially be an unprecedented and awe-inspiring product demonstration. Maintaining the notion of incorporating rocket technology into the Roadster, Musk playfully responded to a Tesla enthusiast's comment suggesting that the EV maker is essentially creating a rocket on wheels. Similarly, when asked if the new Roadster would have the capability to fly to some extent, Musk responded in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Although Elon Musk's recent updates regarding the new Tesla Roadster might be perceived as the usual overly optimistic statements from the CEO, it's important to consider Tesla's recent success with the Cybertruck. Despite initial skepticism and criticism suggesting it would never come to fruition, Tesla has successfully brought the Cybertruck into production and is now delivering it to customers. Given Tesla's track record of delivering innovative and unconventional vehicles like the Cybertruck, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that they could also deliver on the new Roadster.

Micro Mobility Solutions has introduced a compact variant of the Microlino, named the Microlino Lite, as a follow-up to its charmingly small electric city car.

Unveiled at the Geneva International Automotive Show by the Switzerland-based electric vehicle (EV) startup, the Microlino Lite offers a more budget-friendly option with a slightly reduced top speed and shorter range compared to its predecessor, the Microlino. The vehicle boasts a top speed of up to 45 km/h (mph) and a maximum range of 177 km (~110 miles) per charge with the top 11kWh battery pack option.

Initially targeting the European market, the Microlino Lite is categorized as an L6e class vehicle, requiring an AM moped license. The company plans to potentially introduce it to the U.S. market as a neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) by the end of this year.

🔌In comparison, the standard Microlino offers a range of up to 228 km (~142 miles) per charge and a top speed of up to 90 km/h (~56 mph), featuring a battery pack capacity of up to 15 kWh. Both models share the same steel unibody exterior, providing ample trunk volume of up to 230 liters (~8.1 cubic feet), a sunroof, and a bench seat with seating for two.

🚙These vehicles feature a sleek and rounded design with a front-facing entry-exit door, and they can be fully charged from a standard outlet in two to four hours, depending on the chosen battery configuration. Microlino describes these vehicles as the "perfect blend of a motorbike and car."

💰The Microlino Lite is priced starting at CHF 149 per month (~€156 or $169) for a 48-month lease, which covers up to 5,000 km per year. It will be available in blue and anthracite grey colors, and interested individuals can reserve one through the Microlino website.
